I grew up just outside of there. The other gentlemen's description bring back a lot of memories. You have to vsit Fenway Park if you can grab a ball game! That is the holiest of all shrines in Boston!lol. I hope it's still there, but there is the Boston Museum of Science. Fantastic exhibits! You'll have a fantastic time!

irve...everyone here is giving you great advice on where to go. I can sum it up in a nutshell. Take the walking tour and follow the red brick road.....That will take you to alllllll the places in Boston that everyone is saying. Just follow the road...we did and it was great. You wont miss anything.

Totally AGREE! I live here and every time I go into Boston I have a myriad of photos I bring home with me....it is the most photographic city in the U.S. (my opinion, of course!). The North End (little Italy-like being in Europe!), Faneuil Hall area, Beacon Hill (all brick buildings, sidewalks, old streetlamps), the waterfront area....EVERYWHERE there are amazing photos to be had...the Boston Common...and you can walk the whole city because it is so compact and so diverse...if you'd like, I can send you to my facebook page where I just uploaded a bunch of photos when I went a week ago....

Yes! It's called "The Freedom Trail"...Paul Revere's house is on it, nestled in amongst tall buildings, The Old State House, etc. Lots of history alongside new...even more fun for photos than Philadelphia...and a SAFE city to walk.

Nice. that's an awfully long fuse on that canon. :D

If you like history be sure to walk The Freedom Trail. You follow a 2.5 mile red brick path which takes you by many historical sites like Paul Reveres's home, the Old Ironsides, The Green Dragon pub where the revolution was planned, the Old North Church where the lanterns were hung "one if by land two if by sea, and many other historical sites.

Uh, I forget. Did Sarah Palin fight along with Paul Revere on the British side against the US? Revised history makes me confused.

No, but she was a technical advisor for that 1960's movie, "The Russians are Coming." :D

You are going to have a great time but you do need to try and break down what you really want to see as there are so many historical sites close to Boston. There is Concord and Lexington and Salem along with Plymouth and the lists goes on forever. Have fun and keep shootin'. Mike

And there is also a cemetery where you can see the original "Mother Goose" tombstone. It is in the same cemetary that Paul Revere and John Adams are buried in. Just north of the commons.

Ive been to Boston three time and have yet to see enough. Ive seen Mother Goose great call.
On of our favorites is Union Oyster house may be the oldest building in Boston. Great food but we like the Oyster Bar. Lot of different rooms to eat in.

Before you leave you can make reservations through Open Table web site for any place you want to eat.

Cheers was filmed on a TV set. The bar is a little different but worth it.

Always see a Presidential library on you travels this time it's J.F. K.
