Things to do in Boston

Walk the Freedom Trail

Follow this charming, red-brick trail through some of Boston’s most historic areas. Starting at Boston Common, this 2.5-mile Boston sightseeing path tells the story of the American Revolution. Highlights include Paul Revere’s house and Old North Church, made famous by his ‘midnight ride’ – as well as the Old South Meeting House, where revolutionaries began the Boston Tea Party.

Shop and snack at Faneuil Hall Marketplace

The historic Faneuil Hall hosted so many meetings of the Founding Fathers that it became known as the ‘Cradle of Liberty’, making it one of the top places to visit in Boston. Nestled among the cobbled streets of the waterfront area, this historic building now houses one of the city’s most charming markets, where street food vendors sell New England delicacies and artisans showcase unique handcrafted trinkets.

Watch the Red Sox play at Fenway Park

No Boston holiday is complete without a trip to the century-old Fenway Park. Stop by the Cask ’n Flagon for a pre-game beer and grab an Italian sausage from one of the street vendors outside, before you make your way through the stands to catch a Red Sox game. Sip on a cold Samuel Adams beer and join the crowds singing Sweet Caroline as the Friday night lights beam down on the baseball field below: this is a true Bostonian experience.
