1Boston, Massachusetts
Boston is one of the most European-feeling cities in the U.S., largely due to its colonial history and old-world architecture. The narrow, winding streets of the North End, with their brick buildings and European-style cafes, are reminiscent of an old Italian or British neighborhood. Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood, with its cobblestone streets, gas lamps, and Federal-style row houses, feels like stepping into a European village. The city’s rich history, historic churches, and public squares all contribute to its European ambiance. Walking along the Freedom Trail or through the city’s historic neighborhoods can transport you to a time when Boston was a major colonial city under British rule.
