I will soon be Traveling to Boston for a long weekend, what are some thing that I should see? |
Travel Info I love history, and books. Travel Tips The salem witch museum isn't too far from there, and you would probably love that. The graveyards are a LOT of fun for history lovers. You may like the freedom trail: This is a wonderful way to see Boston! Put on some comfortable shoes and experience the 2.5-mile trail full of historical information. The tour starts at Boston Common, but can easily be picked up at any point along the way just by following the signs throughout the city. The path allows you to visit sites that are very important to the city's history, including the Paul Revere House, the statue of Benjamin Franklin, and the site of the Boston Massacre. Should you have any questions, the men and women dressed in colonial attire will be glad to answer them. Newberry street is nice too. Boston's version of Fifth Avenue or Rodeo Drive, Newbury Street spans eight city blocks, and its historic storefronts offer charming glimpses of Boston during the mid-to-late 19th century. Among a phalanx of open-air coffee shops, cafes, antique stores, custom clothiers, and brand-name boutiques are some of the city's true architectural gems, including the Art Deco Ritz Carlton, Richard Upjohn's Church of the Covenant (1865), and the Temple for the Working Union of Progressive Spiritualists (now Waterstone's Booksellers), finished in 1884. While on Newberry street stay at the newberry guest house. Located in the heart of one of Boston's trendiest shopping districts, this hotel was originally built as a private home in 1882 and did not open as a bed and breakfast until more than a century later. Today, the interior features reproduction Victorian furnishings and artwork from the Museum of Fine Arts. Guests are treated to a continental breakfast each morning, and reservations should be booked at least two months in advance with rates from $135 and up.

Old South Church, It has been turned into a historic-site type museum, read the amazing information and see the same room where George Washington met with Patriots. There is a small admission fee, but its worth it, its so special, and there are plaques explaining some of the history of that place worth the time to peruse. They also have a gift shop with books there too. Also, go see Government House, the former government building that was once the office of the British Government there. Its a historic site where the Revolution was sparked and developed It sounds strange, but its actually amazing to look through the little cemeteries right in downtown, where some of the earliest English settlers and the most famous Americans in history are buried. Its very interesting. Eat at the food court in Faneuil Hall, the food is awesome !!! See Paul Revere's house, although its not much to see compared to the other buildings. VIsit Boston Commons too, lovely park right in downtown Boston, and look at the old Boston City Hall and another building built in King George's time, just up the street. Harvard is very interesting place to visit too, with a very long and distinguished history. You will feel truly enriched visiting Boston, and the people were wonderful when I visited, very considerate, helpful, kind, respectful. I love Boston and the Bostionions. They're great ! The new Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA). I visited the home of Louisa May Alcott (Little Women). What I remember about it was that one of her sisters was an artist and would draw on the walls. Alot of the drawings are still there. Here are some sites to help you: This first site will give you some choices: http://www.visit-massachusetts.com/curre...
