Tourist attractions

Boston is the oldest city in the United States, and has plenty of locations to explore that will give you a greater understanding of the history and culture of the country. One of the best ways to pack in as much historical sight-seeing as possible in one go is to follow the 2.5mile-long ‘Freedom Trail’, which takes you on a tour of 16 of the city’s most important historical locations. The trail includes stops at Paul Revere's House, Faneuil Hall, the Old North Church, and the old State House. Simply follow the line of red paint or red bricks in the pavements, and look out for plaques at the various historical sites.

Boston’s cultural scene is second only to New York, and the Boston Symphony is a world-renowned orchestra and internationally recognised as one of the best on the planet. Their home is at Symphony Hall, and on certain days discounted ‘rush tickets’ are available, making a visit to the symphony affordable for everyone. The hall is shared by the Boston Pops Orchestra, who also put on performances during the summer months and blend classical and popular music.

During the summer one of the most popular open spaces for visitors and Bostonians alike is the Boston Common and Public Garden. This is the oldest municipal park in America, and is well known for its famous Swan boats and for having the world’s shortest suspension bridge. It’s a great starting point for touring some of central Boston’s popular tourist spots, or for a lazy picnic on a sunny afternoon.
