Parlando di città statunitensi, Boston non è senz’altro tra le prime scelte di un turista al momento di pensare a dove andare negli States. Gli preferirà sicuramente New York, Los Angeles o le spiagge assolate di Miami, o ancora località mozzafiato come il Grand Canyon.
Boston però ha tutte le ragioni per voler essere parte di questa lista. Definita come la città “più europea” degli Stati Uniti d’America, è situata nello stato del Massachussets, sulla costa nord-orientale. È una storica città di mare degli States, tranquilla ma al contempo anche molto vivace e giovane, in quanto possiede un sacco di università.
La sua particolarità è che è a misura d’uomo – in quanto girabile tranquillamente a piedi – ed è inoltre godibilissimo perdersi attraverso i suoi vicoli. Nulla a che vedere quindi con il caos di una grande metropoli, anche se il suo Skyline è comunque imponente e di tutto rispetto.
Famosa per le sue squisite aragoste e per gli svariati eventi che vi si tengono (la Maratona annuale su tutte), i suoi abitanti sono letteralmente pazzi per i beniamini locali dei Boston Celtics – squadra che ha fatto la storia dell’NBA – e dei Boston Red Sox, famosissima squadra di baseball.
Che aspetti allora? Mettiti alla prova con i nostri esercizi per conoscere ancora di più questa straordinaria città!

Question 1 of 1
1. Question
AVOID – BEAR IN MIND – BOOK IN ADVANCE – CROWDS – GET THE MOST OUT OF – IN ADVANCE – MAKE SURE – RECOMMEND – STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST
Boston is one of America’s most historic and vibrant cities. While the city itself is very small and densely populated, its geographic position in the north means very cold winters and mild summers. Because of this, I (strongly advise against) visiting it in the winter, and (recommend) doing it in the spring or fall.
The city is full of universities, as university students compose over 20% of the city’s population. This means that during the summer most of the students leave the city and go back home, so you experience a more peaceful and quieter city. (bear in mind), however, that the summer is baseball season, and the best possible way to interact with local culture is to attend a baseball game. Go Red Sox! If you do decide to buy some tickets for a game at Fenway Park, (make sure) that you buy them months before the game. The local fans absolutely love their team, so tickets are usually sold out very early. You can buy them (in advance) on the club’s website.
Another great idea for a trip to Boston is to make your visit an educational one! The city is filled with educational and historical monuments dealing with colonial times when the US was under British rule. (get the most out of) your trip by hiring a guide that can explain every single little piece of history possible. Wherever you go, it is likely that something important happened in that spot! In my opinion, you should (avoid) visiting Chinatown. It is quite disappointing, as it is much smaller than the Chinatowns in New York, Philadelphia or Washington, D.C.
If you want to eat at a traditional Boston restaurant, try Legal Seafoods, which offers local catches and fresh lobster. You might want to (book in advance) because on a Friday or Saturday night the (crowds) are terrible!
I hope you enjoy your stay in Boston!
