The Freedom Trail is a “must-do.” This is a 2.5 mile (4.4 km) in Boston that covers 16 historic sites of critical importance to the history of the early United States.
The buildings surrounding Copley Square are impressive architecturally, but my favorite is the Boston Public Library with its two massive statues guarding the entrance.
This is the oldest park in the United States. The park’s interesting statuary, old-fashion carousel, a little lake, and wide expanses of green make for a beautiful stroll.
As you wander Boston, you will find many sites claiming to be the oldest bar, park, restaurant, or building in the United States. That’s part of the charming history that permeates this town.
Walking through Beacon Hill is like stepping back in time. You’ll see narrow, cobblestone streets, gaslight street lamps, and picturesque gardens in what is one of Boston’s most expensive neighborhoods.
Built in 1798, the art and architecture in this building will amaze you. The entrance is free. Make sure to take a free 30- to 45-minute tour available 10 am to 3:30 pm on weekdays or take your own walking tour through the well-marked displays.
