"Sites To See In Boston"

The oldest city park in the United States—established 1634—the Boston Common consists of 50 acres between Charles Street and Downtown Boston. Originally used to graze cattle, the Common is now the place for Bostonians to come to graze during a lunch break or a weekend picnic. The Common is also the beginning and end of the Freedom Trail, making it the perfect place to sit for a while after walking it. The Boston Tea Party is reenacted daily, and you can participate. Really! Steep yourself in history at the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum. Rebuilt and reimagined following a devastating 2001 fire, the attraction reopened in 2012, and it's now one of the city's most engaging experiences. Most people know it as Quincy Market, although its official name is the Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Whatever you call it, this indoor-outdoor market is a great place for both shopping and dining.
