Boston’s streets are picturesque and steeped in history. While its pavements are lined with trees and brownstone houses, this quaint city has its share of modern structures, so you can explore while surrounded by an eclectic mix of gothic churches and glass skyscrapers. Walk The Freedom Trail, which leads you to 16 historical sites across the city, discover the location of the Boston Tea Party, and visit the Old State House, which was built in 1713.
