Massachusetts is the state with the greatest variety of landscapes. It ranges
from wide sandy beaches and inviting islands to the beautiful mountain
landscapes of the Berkshires, which gave Massachusetts its name. The region was
originally called "mass adchu ut". This name comes from the Indian language and
means something like "in the big hills". The state is also called "The Bay
State" because it has over 900 kilometers of coastline with numerous bays. It is
also considered the cradle of American history. In 1620, the first English
settlers, the Pilgrim Fathers, reached American soil in what is now
Massachusetts.
The largest city in New England and the capital of Massachusetts is
Boston. It is one of the oldest cities in the USA with many historical
locations. A paved path, the Freedom Trail, takes you to 16 of these
attractions, including the Boston Common, the oldest public park in the United
States, the Massachusetts State House and the Old State House. Explore Boston
this way and learn more about the city's history.
Cambridge is home to the oldest university in the United States, the elite
Harvard University. You can visit various museums on campus, such as B. the
Busch-Reisinger Museum, the only museum in the USA that deals with the art of
Central and Northern Europe.

Cape Cod is an ideal place for a family holiday. For a beach holiday with
young children, you should choose the peninsular bay, because here the sea is
much calmer than on the ocean side. Cape Cod has more activities to offer than
building sand castles and relaxing on the beach. Take a whale watching tour from
Provincetown or visit one of the peninsula's interesting museums.
Massachusetts, with its diverse landscapes, has plenty of ways to make your
vacation and make it the most enjoyable experience of the year. The best time to
do this is from May to October. October is particularly attractive here due to
the red coloring of the leaves during the Indian Summer.

here.
