Welcome to Boston – The Cradle of American Liberty 

Boston is not just a city; it’s a tapestry of American history, innovation, and tradition. As one of the oldest cities in the United States, it offers a unique blend of historical sites and modern attractions.

Why Fly to Boston?

• Historical Landmarks: Walk the Freedom Trail and visit iconic sites like the Paul Revere House and the USS Constitution.
• Cultural Institutions: Explore world-class museums, such as the Museum of Fine Arts and the Boston Children’s Museum.
• Sports Legacy: Experience the passion of Boston sports by catching a game at Fenway Park or the TD Garden.

The best time to visit Boston

 The best time to visit Boston is typically during the summer months, from June to August. This period offers warm and pleasant weather, ideal for outdoor activities and sightseeing.

The city comes alive with various festivals and events, including Boston Pride and Independence Day celebrations. Average high temperatures in July and August are around 80–81°F (approximately 27–27°C), with each month averaging nearly 300 hours of sunshine.

Alternatively, the spring (May to June) and fall (September to October) are also great times to visit. Late spring and early fall provide comfortable temperatures that are not too hot or too cold, allowing you to enjoy key attractions and the city’s rich history without the crowds.

However, it’s worth noting that May through October is the peak season for tourism, which means accommodation prices can be higher, especially in October.

 If you prefer a quieter visit with fewer tourists and don’t mind the cold, the least busy time to visit is during the winter months. Just be prepared for the possibility of snow, as Boston’s winters can be quite harsh
