BOSTON: TOUR FROM TORONTOAugust 2-5, 2024
Boston is far from the largest American city, its population does not exceed 700 thousand people, but its importance is difficult to overestimate. Suffice it to say that Harvard University and the Michigan Institute of Technology are located here; the American Revolution began in this city; Everything here is steeped in history and culture, and at the same time, Boston is a city that is always on the cutting edge of progress. Here, in 1634, the first public park, Boston Commons, appeared; in 1635 - the first public school, Boston Latin; The first subway system in the United States, known as the Tremont Street Subway, began operating in 1897. Boston is the city of the first vaccination, telephone and industrial design school. In Boston, the Big Dig Tunnel project, unique in scale and virtuosity of execution, was successfully implemented, marking the beginning of “smart” urban planning throughout the world. The first social network, Facebook, was developed here.
