On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 1.The Freedom Trail — A 4km red-brick line through the city links 16 revolutionary sites — meeting houses, burying grounds, the Old State House and Paul Revere's route. The single best way to see Boston and its history, and you walk it for free.
- 12.Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum — A lively floating museum on the harbour where you throw 'tea' overboard from a replica ship and meet costumed revolutionaries — hokey fun that brings 1773 to life, especially with kids. Right on the Freedom Trail's doorstep.
- 14.Boston Common — The oldest public park in America, a green common since 1634 — the start of the Freedom Trail, a frog pond that becomes a winter skating rink, and the city's front lawn. A pleasant place to begin or pause a day.
