Visitor Information

Contact the city and state tourism offices for general information, details about seasonal events, discount passes, trip planning, and attraction information. The National Park Service office screens an entertaining and informative eight-minute slide show on Boston's historic sites and supplies you with maps and directions. The Welcome Center, Boston Common Visitor Information Center, and the Cambridge Tourism Office offer general information.

Online Resources

Boston.com, home of the Boston Globe online, has news and feature articles, ample travel information, and links to towns throughout Massachusetts. Revolutionary Spaces (formerly The Bostonian Society) answers frequently asked questions about Boston history on its website. The iBoston page posts wonderful photographs of buildings of architectural and historical importance. WickedLocal provides a more relaxed (and somewhat irreverent) take on Boston and suburban news and information.
