The Freedom TrailThe Freedom Trail
A 2.5 mile walking trail past some of the most important historical sites from the American Revolution. Take a guided tour or follow the path--marked in red and gray brick--at your own pace.
Fenway ParkFenway Park
The baseball season will be at an end--unless the Red Sox go all the way; fingers crossed!--but Fenway Park is always worth a visit. Take a tour of one of America's most iconic ballparks, then grab a meal in Kenmore Square or walk through the Gardens in the Fens.
