Join Us in Boston!

The birthplace of pediatric oncology, this vibrant city is recognized as a center for medical breakthroughs and cultural facilities, world-class educational institutions, champion sports franchises, and for its place at the forefront of American history.

Getting Around
Boston is referred to as "the walking city." Its compact downtown area provides opportunities to walk from Congress hotels to many attractions, including shopping and historic sites.

WalkBoston has developed a Downtown/Back Bay/South Boston Seaport walking map to help commuters and visitors get around town, click here.

It is very convenient to move around the city using the subway, buses and taxis. Click here for schedules, and here for taxi fares.

Most beautiful in the fall when SIOP will be in town, this New England region is unlike any other region of the world when its displays of colorful foliage make a dazzling show. To enjoy both the season and the sights, take the self-guided Boston Freedom Trail Walk, dubbed “One of the Top 10 Walks in the USA.” You can also tour Harvard University’s campus, visit Boston's Faneuil Hall Marketplace — one of America’s most famous shopping and dining experiences — or stroll through the gorgeous indoor courtyard of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum — home to one of the world’s most remarkable art collections.

If you’re a sports fan, look no further. The New England Patriots kick off the football season at Gillette Stadium and the Red Sox chase another World Series title at Fenway.

Join SIOP at the 42nd Congress and find out for yourself why Boston, Massachusetts, is one of the world's favorite cities!
