Boston 4K - Skyscraper District - Driving Downtown

Boston is one of the oldest cities in the United States, founded in 1630 by settlers from England. Today, Boston is a thriving port city.  The Boston area's many colleges and universities make it an international center of higher education, including law, medicine, engineering, and business, and the city is considered to be a world leader in innovation and entrepreneurship, with nearly 2,000 startups. Boston's economic base also includes finance, professional and business services, biotechnology, information technology, and government activities. Households in the city claim the highest average rate of philanthropy in the United States; businesses and institutions rank among the top in the country for environmental sustainability and investment. The city has one of the highest costs of living in the United States as it has undergone gentrification, though it remains high on world livability rankings.

Upon gaining independence from Great Britain, Boston continued to be an important port and manufacturing hub as well as a center for education and culture. Its rich history attracts many tourists, with Faneuil Hall alone drawing more than 20 million visitors per year. Boston's many firsts include the United States' first public park (Boston Common, 1634), first public or state school (Boston Latin School, 1635) and first subway system (Tremont Street Subway, 1897).

Boston is the capital and most populous city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States. It also the most populous city in New England.  Greater Boston is home to 4.8 million people.  The wider commuting region is home to some 8.2 million people, making it the sixth most populous in the United States.

As someone who travels for a living, I can tell you that Boston is probably the most beautiful city in the country. Of all the places I visit, Boston is by far my favorite city. It is beautiful, it is clean, it is full of friendly people, and it is very easy to navigate. If you like history and culture and good food, Boston is a great place to explore.

Boston is, by far, the most beautiful city in the US. it's gorgeous and has a lot of character.

It looks like a European city. I had no idea what Boston was like before watching this video. It's like driving in a city in central and northern Europe. Thanks for uploading this. So beautiful Boston ❤

I'm from California and Boston has to be the most beautiful city in the whole country. When I was younger I wanted to live there, other kids wanted to go to Disneyland or Six Flags, John's Incredible Pizza or Hawaii, but all I wanted was to go to Boston. Boston's architecture is soo beautiful and as a person who loves history of course that intrigued me even more. Though I'm a bit older than I was 7 years ago, and though I grew out of that phase of wanting to move to Boston, everytime I see a glimpse of Boston I absolutely fall in love with it everytime, it's impossible not to :)

Also I was really waiting for you to drive past Paul Revere's house or Storrow Drive or Fenway or TD Garden (Bostonians are big sports fans and yes I'm also a Boston sports fan), but I still enjoyed this video. One day I'll get to meet this beautiful city though. Also they weren't kidding when they say that Bostonians aren't cautious when it comes to driving or walking (Jaywalking) lol

I was an international student in Boston and lived there for 4 years. The city is amazing and I got to drive around and it feels very homey. The cops dont care what speed you drive in and the potholes throughout the city is a work of art. Your suspension will be ruined in a year and will dent your wheels especially if you drive a sedan. Christmas time is beautiful with snow and you get to see people decorate their house with lights. Love Boston would come back for sure

Filmed late September 2018. I've got 20+ videos from London, Paris, New York City, Washington DC, etc from the past 5-10 months. I typically try to publish videos as soon as I film them. But sometimes I don't have enough time. Would you like earlier videos mixed in with new videos? The variety sounds like a good idea. Let me know what YOU think!

I was in Boston about a month ago for the first time in about 15 years. Man have things changed (for the better). I was really impressed. Thanks for posting.

Wow how beautiful is this city God bless america and his people

[FBIINFORMANT]

This type of video is very relaxing to watch. It makes me feel like I cruise/walk around the city myself even though I don't know how to drive

Went to Boston in June/July 2018 and had the most amazing time! People are always willing to help you, they are really friendly. And, unlike a lot of other places in the USA, we talked to people about our cultural differences and they seemed interested and that makes for interesting convos.

It was refreshing to see the city of Boston behaving so well on that fine day.

Nice one J Utah. Boston is very unique. The true New England city.

Boston truly is a beautiful city. It’s so diverse, modern and fresh but also has this timeless older feel to it. What always blows me away is the unique architecture. I love how different the city is depending on which part you go to. Like the North End is so different from Dorchester and so on.

America is so beautiful I can’t wait to come there for a visit

[nikolajjensen]

Interesting to see how much different road culture is in the US compared to Scandinavia. Love your content!

I met my girlfriend when I studied at Boston University. I love this city so much.

[mutleyable]

What a lovely looking city, I could live here, and feel so much at home. It has such a British feel about it. Love the red brick buildings, reminds me of Manchester and Liverpool only bigger. Never saw this City properly before this channel, keep up the good work.

I couldn't afford a vacation this year, but now I can say I've been on a one hour car ride through Boston, USA at least. Thanks!
