Within the city limits are miles of sandy beaches for sunning, leafy parks for strolling and biking, and inlets, bays, and wide open waters for paddling and sailing. Plus its moderate climate, highlighted by dry and sunny summers, enable outdoor enthusiasts to take advantage of active pursuits year-round. And if skiing and snowboarding is your thing, you can do that here, too, for snow-capped mountains are only a short drive away!

Summer is in full swing in Boston, and the city keeps a busy schedule right through Labor Day. Whether you come to Beantown for a week or weekend, you’ll find plenty of activities, from Red Sox games and concerts on the waterfront to neighborhood walking tours and picnics at the Boston Common.

San Francisco is invariably one of Viator’s Top 10 destinations, and that’s no coincidence. While some destinations need to be seen once and may then be safely crossed off one’s list – I’m not naming names, that would just start arguments – the City by the Bay is a lot deeper than that, and seems to have an attraction that brings people back time after time.

When Montezuma and his gang of Spanish invaders reached what is now Mexico City, it was a very different place geographically than it is today. The Aztec empire’s Tenochtitlan city of pyramids was on an island connected to the mainland with a causeway, with lake water on all sides.
