Massachusetts

The cradle of the American Revolution, combining Boston's history and academic atmosphere with Cape Cod and island seaside getaways.

Massachusetts lies in eastern New England, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Boston is one of the oldest cities in the U.S., where the Freedom Trail links many Revolutionary War sites, and across the river Cambridge has Harvard University and MIT; Salem, Plymouth and Lexington are rich in history; on Cape Cod, with Hyannis as its transportation hub, along with Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, are summer vacation destinations; and the Berkshires in the west have arts festivals and fall foliage. Summer and fall are best. The main gateway is Boston Logan International Airport.
