5 things to do in...

... BOSTON!

1. Visit the harbor
Just look at the pictures and I’m sure you know why you should pay it a visit:

 

2. Walk “The Freedom Trail”

The Freedom Trail is a 2,5 mile long walk. If you follow the trail you will see many of Boston’s interesting sights, such as:

• Boston Common
• The Old State House
• Faneuil Hall
• Hanover Street (Little Italy)
• Paul Revere House
• Old North Church
• USS Constitution
• Monument Square and Bunker Hill Monument

  

You can book a tour but I recommend just downloading the map from the Internet (http://www.thefreedomtrail.org/maps/pdfs/boston-nps-map.pdf) and following the trail with the map. Most hotels also offer free maps, so if you don’t have a printer just ask for one at the check-in desk.

3. Discover Boston’s parks

Boston has so many beautiful parks – two of them are “Boston Common” and “Public Garden”.
There are many restaurants around those parks, so if I were you I’d just grab some take-away lunch and enjoy it in one of the parks.

 

 

4. Visit Harvard

If you get off the Subway at “Harvard” you will see young people walking around with hats offering tours through Harvard University. Usually I prefer to explore a place by myself without a tour guide – but because the campus is so huge taking a tour was the best decision ever. Our tour guide was a student at Harvard himself. He showed us around campus and gave us not only background information about the University, but also told us funny stories about (famous) people who attended Harvard – totally worth the 10$!

 

 

5. Go to a Red Sox Game

Even if you are not into baseball, going to Fenway Park and seeing a Red Sox Game is an absolutely must. Tickets start at 20$, so it’s definitely affordable and totally worth the money – it’s such an awesome feeling to watch one of THE most famous baseball teams and the atmosphere is just amazing.

You should totally add Boston to your "must-go-to-list" if you haven't been there yet. If you have, let me know how you liked it! :)
