Rich with a history and culture that nurtures change, Boston, Massachusetts, serves as an ideal host for Coastal Zone 09. Visitors can travel along the Freedom Trail, browse the Museum of Fine Arts, or simply take a stroll through the urban center of one of America’s most walkable cities. For those interested in the natural beauty offered by the area, Boston’s Emerald Necklace offers visitors the opportunity to rent a bike or take a walk through a series of interconnected green spaces and parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of New York’s Central Park. The Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area is also just a quick ferry ride away. For more information about what Boston has to offer, visit the Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau or the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce.
