Things To Do
Freedom Trail
The Freedom Trail will take you through many important landmarks in the city, including the Paul Revere House, the Bunker Hill Monument, the USS Constitution and the site of the Boston Massacre of 1770. The Freedom Trail is a little more than two miles overall, and it winds through Boston with a series of brick pathways to keep you on track. In addition to the big-name attractions, you’ll also pass by a number of shops, museums, churches, graveyards and historical meeting houses.
Fenway Park
As one of the oldest baseball stadiums in the United States, Fenway Park has been carefully preserved as an athletic landmark, so it has a classic, clean-cut vibe that harks back to the golden days of America’s favorite pastime.
Boston Common
As one of the oldest public parks in the United States, Boston Common is the Massachusetts equivalent of Central Park or the Golden Gate Park. It’s a large, well-tended recreational area that offers all kinds of events and activities for anyone who can find it.
Boston Harbor
Not only does it carry huge significance as the historical site of the Boston Tea Party, but Boston Harbor is also home to museums, lighthouses, shipyards, statues and landmarks. As well as other culturally relevant things that can teach you about the city’s past and its place in the world.
New England Aquarium
From the cute little penguins to the colorful sea turtles, it’s a smorgasbord of fun! The main attraction of the New England Aquarium is its “Ocean Tank,” a series of see-through tunnels that allow you to walk under 200,000 gallons of water.
Faneuil Hall
Faneuil Hall is the site of four different marketplaces centered around a public plaza, and you won’t know which way to turn as you eat, drink, shop and sightsee.
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Offering more than 450,000 artifacts, the Museum of Fine Arts is the largest museum in Massachusetts and the fifth-largest museum in the United States. It’s the kind of place where you can get lost for days among its galleries, display cases and show rooms.
