ISAKOS: 2023 Congress in Boston, MA USA

Congress Travel

 

Welcome to Boston!

Throughout time, Boston and Massachusetts have played an important part of our country’s history. Founded in 1630, just ten years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth, Boston grew as a harbor town and has always been strongly linked to the sea. Boston is unique as it is almost completely surrounded by water, with the Atlantic Ocean on two sides and the Charles River which runs along the back of the city. Whale watches, harbor cruises, tours of the Boston Tea Party Ship, island hopping, sailing and rowing on the Charles River, touring the U.S.S. Constitution, jogging, cycling or playing in one of the many parks along the waterways gives visitors plenty to do to discover Boston's nautical history.

Surrounded by natural beauty, Boston’s 48 square miles are encircled by a bustling harbor, tranquil coastline and a strand of green parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted known as the Emerald Necklace. Two of the parks, the Boston Common and the Public Garden are back to back between the Back Bay and Downtown neighborhoods in the heart of the city. The Boston Common, America's first public park, runs alongside the flower-filled Public Garden where Swan Boats, propelled by human power, glide across the pond from April through September.
