Before the Sermon on the mount, "Jesus went about all Galilee, teeching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sicknesses and all kinds of disease among the people" (Matthew 4:23) In Matthew, the sermon on the mount is recorded from Matthew chapters 5-7. Matthew 8:5 records that Jesus entered Capernaum. I don't know exactly which city was near while Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount, but this gives us some context.

Yes, very much so. You can still visit Galilee where Jesus did most of his ministry and spend time on the hillside (where the sermon on the mount was preached) or in the ruins of the synagogue at Capernaum (where Jesus preached). In addition, the old part of the city of Jerusalem has hardly changed since Jesus' time and so you can trace his steps through the city where many important events occurred such as the trial, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.
The phrase,"City upon the hill," actually comes from the Old Testament, where Jesus held his sermon on the Mount. It was later coined by John Winthrop in his sermon to the Puritans, he used the phrase as a metaphor telling them they should act like Jesus on the mount because their actions would be observed by people throughout the world. They would be models of good behavior. President Reagan used it to show that those in Washington should be a model for people to look up to and that is why they are on top of a hill.

The "city on a hill" comes from The Bible and Jesus's sermon on the Mount. When the Piligrams left they brought with them the idea of a city on the hill as an example of how life should be lived and conducted. They believed that the English church was filled too much ceremony and should be more simple. So, when they built their colony they kept to the simplicity, taught from the Bible, and had strict rules concerning behavior within the colony.
