Things To Do: Boston: Freedom Trail
  • Tip Rating:
  • With your Freedom Trail walking tour map in one hand and your handy dandy digital camera in the other, follow the red brick road (or rather, red brick path and sometimes painted red line) on this 2.5 mile trail that passes 16 of Boston's most historic landmarks. This outdoor experience begins at Boston Commons and ends at Bunker Hill. Don't forget your film, your bottle of water, and comfortable walking shoes.

    The sites include:
    Boston Common,
    Massachusetts State House,
    Park Street Church and Granary Burying Ground,
    Kings Chapel and Chapel Burying Ground,
    First Public School Site and Ben Franklin Statue,
    Former site of the Old Corner Bookstore,
    Old South Meeting House,
    Old State House,
    Boston Massacre Site,
    Faneuil Hall,
    Paul Revere House,
    Old North Church,
    Copp's Hill Burying Ground,
    USS Constitution and Charlestown Navy Yard
    Bunker Hill Monument

    Things To Do: Boston: Bunker Hill Monument
  • Tip Rating:
  • The final stop on the Freedom Trail tour, a granite obelisk stands in commemoration of the first major battle of the American Revolution, and immortalizes the famous order, "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes!" In addition to the monument itself, take a look around you. The neighborhood is quite charming with its narrow cobble-stoned streets, colonial homes, and gas lanterns.

    Things To Do: Cheers Boston
  • Tip Rating:
  • Formerly known as the Bull & Finch Pub, this was the original inspiration for the setting of the TV show “Cheers”. Not much of a fan of the sitcom myself, but while in Boston, why not come check it out anyway. For real “Cheers” enthusiasts, see a reproduction of the bar at the Fanueil Hall Marketplace.
