Freedom Trail, Boston

Key information: Freedom Trail, Boston

    • Walk from site to historical site through the streets of Boston, a surprisingly charming New England city.
      • Follow the red pavement markings on your own exploration, or embark on a walk guided by Bostonians in full historical costume. The Disney-like feeling of the latter option may not appeal to everyone, although kids are bound to love it.
        • This is a straightforward walk, taking in some of the best Boston has to offer. A great introduction to the city, with overwhelmingly positive feedback from visitors.
          • ANYONE GOT ANY GOOD PHOTOS? WE WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO POST THEM!
