The Best of Boston Free Walking Tour Itinerary

At the designated time, we'll meet inside the Public Garden, at the Ether Monument, to kick off our walking tour of Boston.

We'll start our tour in a very special place: the first public garden in the United States, an elegant haven of peace right in the heart of the city.

Among trails, ponds, and corners filled with history, you'll understand why Boston isn't just visited—it's read like a book.

After exploring the Public Garden, we'll enter Beacon Hill, the most "postal" neighborhood of Boston: narrow streets, street lamps, red bricks, and details that seem like they are straight out of a movie. We'll see the famous Acorn Street, una one of the city's most photographed streets, and we'll tell you how this neighborhood went from being a symbol of prestige to an icon in Boston's history.

Afterward, we'll head to Boston Common, the oldest public park in the country. Here, you'll see the plaque of the foundation of Boston, and we'll walk through the Boston Common park to reach the monument of The Embrace.

Then, we'll follow the Freedom Trail, the red line that connects the city's most important chapters. We'll see the golden dome of the Massachusetts State House in the distance, and we'll walk along Park Street, next to one of the oldest metro stations in Boston. You'll also learn about the history of the Boston Latin School, the oldest public school in the United States, and we'll pass in front of the legendary Omni Parker House Hotel, filled with history and distinguished guests. de historias y de huéspedes ilustres.

We'll continue toward the historic center to see the city's most important facades, such as the Old South Meeting House and the Old State House, where we'll understand how Boston became a decisive place in the history of the United States.
