There's so many reasons to love Boston. So I narrowed it down to 11:

1. The city is built on history.

Just take a walk along The Freedom Trail.

2. There's plenty of places to shop.

Between Newbury Street and Copley Place, there's something for everyone.

3. The North End has all the Italian food you could ever want.

Could a person ever need more Italian dessert when there's Modern Pastry and Mike's Pastry on the same street?

4. There's a museum for everyone, with options including The Museum of Science, Museum of Fine Arts, The Boston Children's Museum, just to name a few.

Some museums even offer student discounts!

5. Quincy Market has a food option for everyone.

From Italian food to desserts to seafood, everyone will be happy eating here.

6. The Boston Harbor is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city streets.

Sit by the harbor for a little relaxation and peace of mind.

7. Although everyone complains about public transportation in the city, it really is convenient.

The T may always seem to run late, but it's still so useful to get from point a to point b without a car. Uber is also making the city more convenient.

8. The Boston Common and Boston Public Garden are the perfect places for a breath of fresh air.

What could be better than fresh flowers, a dog park and ducks?!

9. The city takes pride in their sports teams including the Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots and Celtics.

It doesn't hurt that they have plenty of Championships.

10. Patriot's Day isn't just another holiday, it's Marathon Monday.

The city basically shuts down to cheer on all the runners.

11. When tragedy struck the city, Boston came back stronger than ever.
