Downtown Boston boasts a wealth of historic attractions and easy access to Boston’s major tourist and cultural attractions, yet you’re never far from the beauty of nature.
The greenery of the Boston Common and the Public Garden and the peaceful waters of the Charles River and Boston Harbor provide a lovely counterpoint to the vibrant cityscape and offer a variety of recreational possibilities. Walk Boston’s lunchtime or weekend tours are the perfect way to see the city at its best.
New England’s colonial roots are never far below the surface of present-day Boston, providing an exciting juxtaposition of old and new. Weathered bricks and white steeples are reflected in towering glass skyscrapers, providing a feast for the eyes.
A stroll along the Freedom Trail provides an enjoyable reminder of the spirit of America’s founders. Visit some of the nation’s oldest institutions, hotbeds of freedom such as the Old South Meeting House, Old City Hall and the Old State House.
For a change of pace, take in a show at the newly restored Opera House, or linger for a taste of Downtown Crossing’s pulsating nightlife, featuring late-night dining, specialty drinks, billiards or music.
