From touring historic Boston on a Boston Duck Tour to lounging by the pond in Public Garden, you'll find no shortage of ways to fill up your days in Boston.
While baseball nuts know Fenway Park as Boston's most historic institution, the city boats a rich wealth of older historical landmarks, many of them vital to the formation of the nation itself. No trip to Boston is complete without a walk along the 2.5 mile Freedom Trail, beginning at the visitor's center in Boston Common. Along this brick pathway you'll visit 16 of Boston's most important sites, from the Old North Church, to Paul Revere's House, to Bunker Hill itself.
Art lovers flock to Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, one of the largest museums in the country housing over 450,000 works. Those looking for a more intimate experience should visit the smaller Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, housing Ms. Gardner's impressive private collection. Those less interested in art (and/or those with children) will definitely enjoy an afternoon at the renowned New England Aquarium, where highlights include the 200,000 gallon Giant Ocean Tank and the heartwarming Penguin Exhibit.
