Massachusetts has to offer although it's a small state: great beaches, outdoor fun, fresh-caught seafood, major-league sports, and a wealth of cultural activities. Massachusetts' parks, mountains, and rivers offer wide-open spaces and a chance to hike, bike, canoe, or rocket through whitewater rapids on a raft.
Massachusetts is probably more 'New England' than any of the other states in
the northeast of the U.S. Small old towns like Beverly, Old Deerfield,
Marblehead or Brewster all bring back the time of the 17-th century.
Boston also known as bean town is the capital of the state and one of the oldest
cities of the country with a unique history. In downtown Boston, Old South
Meeting House, Old State House, Faneuil Hall, the Paul Revere House and Old
North Church bring to life the American ideals of freedom of speech, religion,
government, and self-determination.
Boston has also been called the hub of the universe for university students as
it is home to over 50 colleges and universities. Including the ever prestigious
Harvard, just accross the river in Cambridge.
From the west of the state where there is a good stretch of United
States,Apalachian Trail you can follow, to Cape Cod, there are many outdoor
activities you can do.
