Walk the Freedom Trail

One of the best sites to visit in Boston is the 2.5-mile-long red-brick Freedom Trail, even though a light dusting of snow would make it difficult to see it. Boston's iconic 2.5 mile-Freedom Trail connects 16 nationally significant historic sites, each one an authentic treasure.

The walk starts (or ends, depending on the direction you choose to walk it) at the Boston Common and ends (or starts) at the USS Constitution and Bunker Hill. Along the walk, you will visit historic churches, meeting halls, cemeteries, and battlegrounds. The Massachusetts State State House, Old South Meeting House, Old State House, and the site of the Boston Massacre are some of the 16 most significant historic buildings that can be found along this long, twisting walk. The path also leads to Faneuil Hall, which is home to a famous market worth spending at least a few hours in. There are a ton of entertaining things to do in this historic location, such as shopping, dining, and watching a dance performance or concert. Quincy Market is also right next door.
