Welcome to the unique, diverse and vibrant city of Boston. It is not just its age (as one of the oldest cities in US founded in 1630) or its title as the birth place of the American Revolution that makes Boston a top American landmark. Its more than 100 universities with more than 250,000 students keep the city energetic and alive. Greater Boston, with its 7.6 million people, is the 12th largest economy in the world and at the same time America's most "spirited" city (work hard, play hard!). The city is a vibrant economic pole for industries such as biotech, ports, mutual fund and asset management, health, consulting and entrepreneurship industries among more. The high skyscrapers of the financial center are complemented with the iconic Boston brownstones houses in Back Bay and Beacon Hill areas; Boston Common Parks and the Charles River are the places in charge of adding the magic natural enchant to the postcard. If those contrasts are not enough, the difference between Boston’s highest and lowest average temperature, 81.8°F (40°C) in July and 22.3°F (-5.4°C) in January, would certainly make you feel the difference. Do not let the cold discourage you, it brings along the start of the Hockey season, ice skating and the opening of some of the best skiing stations in New England. Welcome again and make the most out of your time here, it will fly away fast!
