Boston

(Massachusetts)

Beantown wears its impressive heritage on its sleeve.

Calling this quaint and charming city the 'Athens of America' might seem a bit braggadocio, but the city's 19th-century glory radiates through its grand architecture, its population of literati, artists and educators and its world-renowned academic and cultural institutions.

Disastrous 'urban renewal' projects in the 1950s provoked such a furious backlash that Boston now has some of the best preserved historic buildings and neighbourhoods in the country. Compact, walkable, historic and clean, the city blends old-world beauty and modern convenience.

Entertainment & Night Life

Several hundred thousand American college students live in and around Boston; coupled with the city's old reputation for highbrow culture, this means that Boston nightlife offers everything from classical music recitals and first-rate theatre to clubbing and, of course, Irish pubs.

	Johnny D's (live music)

	Johnny D's is a Boston institution and one of the best and most eclectic venues for rock, R&B and world music. If you're handy with a harmonica why not join the Sunday afternoon Open Blues Jam? Call early for dinner reservations.

	Great Scott (live music)

	The current 'it' place for rock and indie, Great Scott recently transformed itself from a crappy bar to music palace, with a management dedicated to Boston music. The place rarely gets uncomfortably crowded, and the stage is well raised.

	Lucky's (live music)

	One of Boston's top-notch bars, Lucky's is a delightfully gritty lounge that looks straight from 1959 and earns extra street-cred by having no sign. Enjoy well-priced drinks, excellent martinis and, frequently Motown-inspired bands playing tunes to which people actually dance. Sinatra Sundays remain a perpetual favorite, and the after work scene is lively.
