North End: See Paul Revere's house
  • Tip Rating:
  • A guided tour of Paul Revere's house if you're into history. It's not an overly fascinating house, but the history of the man himself makes it a worthwhile stop, and the guided tour gives you some good information.

    Beacon Hill & Charles Street: Antique streets!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Boston Beacon Hill & Charles Street
  • Cobbled streets--don't try high
  • heels here!

  • The cobbled streets left over in some areas of Boston are great! But I wouldn't want to drive on them...or anywhere in town, for that matter. There's a very good public transportation system, and the locals all think you're crazy if you try to drive downtown.

  • This is another shot of the Revere home, this time taken in 2003. Hasn't changed much, but after all, it's been around over 200 years! :)

    USS Constitution / Charlestown Navy Yard: USS Constitution
  • Tip Rating:
  • Even for those of us not deeply interested in historical warfare, the USS Constitution ("Old Ironsides") is worth a look. The tour is free and run by current members of the armed forces, who are well-informed of its remarkable history.

    Bunker Hill: View from the top
  • Tip Rating:
  • Running up all 294 steps of the Bunker Hill monument to get to the observation deck made my calves sore for three days afterwards, but the view over Boston was almost worth it. :)

    Bunker Hill: Bunker Hill Momument

  • Boston Bunker Hill
  • Bunker Hill Monument
  • by londonlover
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • This is the site of one of the turning point battles fought in the Revolutionary War, and the momument is a tall obelisk with a great position for viewing the city of Boston. There's also an informative display downstairs describing the battle and its results. All free admission!

     I give you credit. In my almost 20 years of living here I've never climbed up the Bunker Hill monument. Good for you!
