The 5 Best Things
to Do in Boston

Boston is one of America’s most historically rich and culturally vibrant cities. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or the tenth, these five experiences are essential — and all of them are better when you arrive in style.

1. Walk the Freedom Trail

The Freedom Trail is a 2.5-mile walking route connecting 16 of Boston’s most significant historic sites — from the Boston Common to the Bunker Hill Monument. Starting at Boston Common and following the red brick path through downtown is one of the most rewarding walks in any American city.

2. Catch a Game at Fenway Park

Fenway Park is the oldest active ballpark in Major League Baseball, and attending a Red Sox game there is a genuine Boston rite of passage. Even on non-game days, behind-the-scenes stadium tours are available and absolutely worth it for any sports enthusiast.

3. Visit the USS Constitution Museum

Located in the Charlestown Navy Yard, the USS Constitution Museum tells the story of the oldest commissioned warship still afloat in the world. Exhibits are engaging and detailed, and the ship itself — launched in 1797 — is open for tours on most days.

4. Experience the Boston Tea Party Museum

This living history museum brings the events of December 16, 1773 to life through immersive theatrical performances and authentic period artifacts. Guests can participate in the re-enactment and throw “tea” into Boston Harbor — a genuinely memorable experience.

5. Explore the Seaport & Waterfront

Boston’s Seaport District has transformed into one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods — world-class restaurants, the Institute of Contemporary Art, and a stunning working waterfront. It’s a perfect end to a Boston day, especially as the harbor lights come on at dusk.
