The Freedom Trail leads tourists to 16 landmarks in Boston without any diagrams or maps. These sites are associated with the period of the United States' struggle for independence from the British metropolis.
You'll see the Massachusetts State House, the cemetery where famous citizens are buried, a monument to founding father Benjamin Franklin, who attended the city's first school, the sites of the Boston Massacre, the Old State House, from whose balcony the Declaration of Independence was first publicly read, the Old South Meeting House, where the idea of the Boston Tea Party was born, and the home of Paul Revere, who warned citizens of the British advance.
Last on this itinerary, Boston sightseeing guides suggest checking out the Sailboat Museum USS Constitution, the oldest battleship in the world, which still occasionally sets sail.
Harvard University. The institution was founded 150 years before the formation of the American state and became the alma mater for eight presidents, 36 Pulitzer Prize winners and 49 Nobel Prize winners. Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Natalie Portman, Mark Zuckerberg and others have studied there. On the campus of the university there is a monument to the priest-mecumenist John Harvard, which is unofficially called "Three Lies".
Museum of Fine Arts, the second largest in the country. Its nearly half a million-dollar collection consists of works by famous French Impressionists, Egyptian art, art from Japan, other Eastern countries and much more.
Boston Common is the oldest of the U.S. city parks, adjacent to a public garden. Here you will find the first subway stations, more than a dozen monuments - from George Washington on horseback to ducklings crossing the road.
After a walk through the park and garden, you can get a map of Boston's sights at the information center and, as in Paris or London, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the past, walking through the historic center of the city.
Quincy Market (here you can buy souvenirs, taste dishes of different nations), Little Italy and its unusual for local architecture, the Museum of Science with its "live" exhibits are of no less interest to tourists.
Many people come to the glass Holocaust Memorial, the monument to prominent Boston women, the world's widest suspension bridge, the third largest public library in the U.S., and more to capture the sights of Boston in photos. Detailed descriptions of these Boston attractions can be found in guidebooks.
