Being a small place, the places to visit in Boston aren't too numerous. So one of the first things you will hear about when it comes to tourist attractions will be the Freedom Trail - a red line sometimes marked by red bricks and sometimes painted on the pavement and the sidewalks - which will guide you through many historical buildings and places related to the independence process followed by the United States in the 1770's. The role Boston played in the independence of the USA constitutes the entire charm (or almost) of this city, so visiting these places becomes a must (or rather an "only" thing to do in Boston, LOL). Under my point of view, it is fun to try to follow this path and discover the historical sites along the trail, but it can be more difficult than it seems at first and sometimes even frustrating. It's a lie that you can find all those interesting places only by following a red line traced on the floor (at least this is what I understood when I heard about it). You really need to have a map showing each and all of the places worth a visit, or you can even take a guided tour (starting at Boston Common) if you want to better understand the meaning of each one of those places. I think they're for free, and they're given by a guy dressed as an old pilgrim. This way you will make sure you don't get lost, as I did! More details on my Tourist Traps section -- I really do think this is a tourist trap, but most of the big attractions in touristy places are! So you might as well give it a try and spend at least half a day - if you have such time available - doing this. Leave a Comment
