The oldest city park in the United States, Boston Common is a great green space in the downtown area that has been around since 1634. It is perfect for a lovely stroll where you get to experience the gorgeous color change that makes the north-east so picturesque in the fall.
If you prefer to go on a guided tour, we recommend the Boston Duck Tours. You will hop in your duck boat and your tour guide will take you to all the must see places such as the Boston Common, the historic North End, the fashionable Newbury Street, Quincy Market, the Prudential Tower, and more. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, it’s time for a Big Splash as your ConDUCKtor drives the DUCK right into the Charles River for a breathtaking view of the Boston and Cambridge skylines.
