Make sure you check closing times before you walk the Freedom Trail and figure out the estimated time it takes to get there. Its sad when its closed after you walked the entire trail.
Allow 4 hours to meander the trail. Stop for lunch at the tavern on the water! Then make your way to Bunker Hill and lounge in the sun :)
A definite spot to stop on the Freedom Trail.
There's two trails around the resevoir: 1 gravel path immediately surrounding the reservoir, and another paved path that follows along at street level. Both are excellent running paths
Not only is an awe-inspiring nature trail, but it is also a great place to meet hunks and honeys on your morning run. Featured in the Dig's #StudentGuide to Meeting People in Boston! Read more.
The dirt trail is 1.6 miles around.
2nd oldest cemetery in Boston from 1659. Not originally part of Freedom Trail. Later added after many visitors "added it themselves." 80% of stones contain winged skulls. More info in blog below<LINK> Read more.
Copp's Hill Burying Ground, located in the North End and just a short walk from the hotel, is the resting place for many of Boston's passionate preachers.
Dating from 1659, Copp's Hill was Boston’s largest colonial burying ground. Cotton Mather of the Salem Witch Trials rests here, and the British used the hill during the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775.
Right in the middle of Freedom Trail where you can find just about everything while you are traveling. Also you will find tons of street performers.
Great food and shops. This place is at it's best during the holidays! My favorite: Clam Chowder Bowl.
Faneuil Hall was built by artist John Smibert in 1742 in the style of an English country market, with an open ground floor and an assembly room. The hall burned down in 1761 but was rebuilt in 1762.
Awesome point along the Freedom Trail. Stop in its quick and worth the effort.
Go during holiday time for one of their special events with musicians, apple cider, and strange old-timey baked goods.
Starting from his home, Paul Revere set out on his famous midnight ride in 1775 to warn his compatriots that the British were coming. Built in 1680, it is one of the oldest houses in downtown Boston.
One of the nicest gift shops on the Freedom Trail. Lovely historic Boston mugs. They now assign you a Revolutionary character on your pass, which is fun.
I came with the idea that I will see a basic museum but it's not! It's a really good museum! For adults, teenagers and children! Come at lunch time because it small so you'll have more space. :)
Just outside the building, five men were among the first casualties in the Boston Massacre. The Declaration of Independence was proclaimed from the balcony in 1776.
The best Freedom Trail tour. Shelley and Stephanie were great guides and they do every Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy history and running through Boston with the typical friendly and welcoming run crowd.
Best way to see the freedom trail while getting some exercise in! Guides are very knowledgeable and energetic.
AFP2011: on the Wells Fargo Freedom Trail Tour seeing the USS Constitution
You're almost finished! After visiting Old Ironsides, finish the Freedom Trail by walking the last half mile to the Bunker Hill Monument.
Towards the end of Freedom Trail you are here. It is a bit of a hike from the pre-bridge trail but well worth it
Go to the bike path
Lovely relaxing walks with great views of the city.
A river that always reflects the exact mood you happen to be in.
It's a must stop on the Freedom Trail.
Well worth taking the 30-minute $5 guided tour. Climb the steeple stairs to the bell chamber where teenage Paul Revere worked, and walk through the crypt to view the 37 tombs below the church floors. Read more.
Built in 1723, this church, Boston’s oldest, played a role in Paul Revere’s famous ride on April 18, 1775.
Part of another walking trail in Boston (Irish Heritage Trail). Depicts family pre- and post arrival to America during Great Potato Famine. Read the 8 plaques around the plaza or read more in our blog Read more.
Great place to people watch. Just watch out for the pigeons.
Beautiful memorial of a terrible catastrophe that struck Ireland in 1845. Thank you Boston! Never forget!
Check out the freedom trail it's awesome!
Most beautiful building & there r like about 6 things on the Freedom Trail all "right there"
Not sure what it is, it's on the freedom trail and I assume it's some kinda historic site
Great museum to visit to understand the importance of free speech and how that very notion led to many protests/movements that shaped Boston and the United States. Read more.
Built in 1729, this was where some 5,000 colonists gathered on December 16, 1773, for a protest that culminated that night in the Boston Tea Party.
No taxation without representation! The Old South Meeting House was the birthplace of the Boston Tea Party.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
