Copley Square Copley Square Review

Feels like the center of this city.
Lots of visitors & lunching business people.
Nice location for people watching.

Walk across CHARLES RIVER.

From here you get the best view of the city skyline & the T as well!

Boston Common Boston Common Review

BOSTON COMMON: America's oldest public park (50 acres).

Home to Boston's famous Swan Boats. For the young at hearts, try the 20 mins pedal-powered boat rides, Boston's most endearing traditions since 1877. US$2 per ride, beginning June 21.

It was a common pasture land until 1830.
Public hangings took place here until 1817.
