Freedom Trail. Some of Colonial America's most iconic landmarks mark Boston's three-mile Freedom Trail as it winds through the old city's narrow streets to connect 16 historic monuments and attractions. Along the way, wander through two old burying grounds to find the graves of Paul Revere, John Hancock, and the first female to step off the Mayflower.
The Old State House , Boston's oldest public building, was the scene of the infamous Boston Massacre, when five colonists were killed by British soldiers. A few steps off the Freedom Trail, at 1 Milk Street, is the birthplace of Benjamin Franklin , a site marked by a bust of the patriot, who was born here in The trail's best-known attraction is Faneuil Hall , called the "cradle of liberty" for its role as the meeting-place of revolutionaries and later, of abolitionists.
Along with a museum, it houses the stalls of Faneuil Hall Marketplace , which also includes three more long halls filled by pushcarts, food stalls, and shops. Two more iconic places for sightseeing are in the lively Italian neighborhood, the North End : the 17th-century Paul Revere House and Old North Church , Boston's oldest and the one from whose steeple two lanterns were hung to signal the start of Paul Revere's famous ride.
Faneuil Hall. Built in , Faneuil Hall was given to the city as a market hall by merchant Peter Faneuil. Along with a market, it was a place for public meetings well-used by colonists protesting British taxes and other grievances. In the midth century, it was the scene of anti-slavery meetings, rallies, and speeches. The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Museum on its top floor preserves paintings of battles, along with arms and uniforms. True to its origins, the ground floor is filled with market stalls, which flow out into the three nearby market halls — Quincy Market, North Market, and South Market — to make up Faneuil Hall Marketplace.
This entire area is almost always lively, filled with shoppers, buskers, tourists, and workers from nearby offices enjoying their lunches on the benches that line the wide promenades between the market halls.

Most of its miles of shoreline is long white-sand beaches , often backed by dunes of waving sea grass. Many of them are crowded in mid-summer, but there is enough sand for everyone although not always enough parking for their cars. Look for the more uncrowded beaches on the quieter north shore, along Route 6-A, near Sandwich or Brewster.
Chatham and Orleans both have especially scenic white beaches on the Atlantic-facing shore. Cape Cod's beaches are among the most beautiful places to visit in Massachusetts. Cape Cod National Seashore protects nearly the whole eastern coast of the Cape, keeping a mile stretch of sand and dunes almost unchanged since the s. Walk its white sands, spot nesting shorebirds, and follow the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail through its beautiful cedar woodlands.
Lifeguards are on duty at beaches near parking areas from late June through August. Tulips blooming in Boston's Public Garden. The Boston Common — along with the adjacent Public Garden — paints a large swath of green in the very heart of the city. Downtown streets border one end, Commonwealth Avenue and Back Bay the other. To one side is stately Beacon Hill; the Freedom Trail begins in the Common, the state house overlooks it. The Common spans Boston's history, with the Central Burying Ground of at one corner and the next generation of Bostonians splashing in the Frog Pond in the summer, and skating on it in the winter.
The Public Garden, America's first botanical garden, is more formal in its design, with beds of flowers and an suspension bridge over the pond, beloved by locals and tourists for the charming Swan Boats that have glided across its surface since the s.

While most other cities have built new stadiums in the city outskirts, Bostonians have kept the old tradition of an inner-city venue for its home team, even though it has the lowest seating capacity of any major league ballpark.
Tickets for one of the only 33, seats are usually scarce, but you can see the park on a lively tour that's fun even for tourists who are not baseball fans. Harvard Square and Museums. Harvard University , one of the world's leading academic centers, is an attraction in itself, filled with historic buildings and exceptional museums.

Sackler Museum comprise some of the finest collections in the world.
