Boston has an abundance of tourist attractions but none combine history, fun, and family friendliness as well as the Freedom Trail. Covering 2.5 miles and 16 historic sites, the trail takes you through the heart of downtown Boston and some its most charming streets while also covering a lot of of America’s early history. The kids love the scavenger hunt feel and adults will love the ease and inexpensive nature. Take 2-3 days to really explore the whole trail or take one day and pick your favorite part. It is something you can come back to again and again over the years.
