The attractions offered by Boston faithfully represent the aristocratic atmosphere that surrounds and characterizes the city. Boston's aristocracy has had quite a bit of influence on American history over the years, and this is exactly what most of the city's attractions are about.
In the summer months, it is highly recommended to take a one-day trip to Cape Cod to watch whales (amazing experience!).


Attractions list according 
to the location on the map

1. Chinatown
Chinatown is a neighborhood located in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. It is the only historic ethnic Chinese enclave to survive in New England since the demise of Chinatowns in Providence, Rhode Island and Portland, Maine after the 1950s. Because of the high population of Asians and Asian Americans living in this area of ​​Boston, there are plenty of Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants located in Chinatown. It is one of the densest residential areas in Boston and serves as the largest center of cultural life in East Asia and Southeast Asia.



2. Charles River Promenade
One of the most beautiful attractions in Boston is the boardwalk located on the west side of the Charles River, which separates Boston from the city of Cambridge. If you are looking to relax from the hustle and bustle of the city and the urban landscape, take a walk along five kilometers of lovely scenery in the colors of green and blue. Start your trip from the Science Museum and head west toward the Boston University Bridge. At the end of the route, you can rent a sailboat and go sailing on the river or sit in one of the small cafes and enjoy the peace.

3. Public Garden
Adjacent to Boston Common, west of Charles Street, is this beautiful garden, which is more of a botanical garden than a park. In the center of the garden there is a small lake, on which you can sail and a small bridge (in fact, the smallest in the world!), which hangs over it. Beautiful flower carpets and manicured lawns are spread around the lake. In the territory of the garden there are also various statues and monuments, such as the statue of George Washington near the Arlington Street gate.

4. Boston Common
The beating heart of the city of Boston, in the form of the largest public garden in the state of Massachusetts and the oldest in the entire United States. The park was established in 1634 and since then has been used for various purposes: the British army camp during the revolution in the middle of the 18th century, and a pasture for cattle herds in the 19th century. Later, the park was converted to public welfare and important rallies were held on its territory, where great figures in world history, such as Dr. Martin Luther King and Pope John Paul II, spoke. In the territory of the park there are various sites, such as: the impressive Brewer Fountain, a cemetery, where many American and British soldiers are buried, from the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775, and more. Stroll through the park, walk among the paths and trees and imagine how the place has changed between the events of the past.

5. Freedom Trail
One of the most important attractions for tourists in Boston is, in fact, a four-kilometer walking route, where you can get to know 16 important buildings in the history of the city. The route leaves Boston Common, and it continues into the downtown area, then to the North End and ends at the monument in memory of those who fell in the Battle of Anchor Hill (Charlestown), a map of the route is available at the tourist information centers, one of which is located in Boston Common. The route is easily followed, as it is marked with a red line along the sidewalks.


6. The Massachusetts State House
This impressive building has been the seat of the Massachusetts state government since the building opened in 1798. The building is considered one of the most impressive federal buildings in the United States, so it's worth looking at it a bit before continuing the route.

7. Faneuil Hall
An important building in the history of the city of Boston, founded in 1741. The building, which is often referred to as the "House of Free Speech" or the "Cradle of Liberty", was the place where the first town meeting in America was held. A number of dramatic meetings were held in this building, which shaped the history of the American nation. If you look at the top of the building you can see a sabbath in the shape of a golden grasshopper. This is the most famous pinwheel in Boston. Legend has it that this vane was used to expose spies during the War of 1812. Anyone who did not know the answer to the question "What is at the top of the Panay Building?" aroused suspicion in those days. Nearby is a food market where you can find a place to sit for lunch. The market includes dozens of shops, restaurants and cafes, in the surrounding streets you can see street performances



8. Constitution ship (USS Constitution)
At the end of the Freedom Trail you will find this ship, permanently docked at the Navy Yard in Boston Harbor in Massachusetts. This ship, the most famous in the history of the American Navy, is a three-masted sailing frigate with 44 guns. This ship gained its fame in 1812, when it managed to prevail in three naval battles against warships of the British Royal Navy. The ship is named after the United States Constitution and is open to visitors.



9. Wrentham Village Premium Outlets
About a 45-minute drive from Boston is a huge outlet mall with a wide variety of stores and attractive prices. It is an open mall that contains 170 stores, from Gucci and Prada to Nike and Gap.
I came with an empty suitcase, and it didn't stay empty for a long time 馃槑

Opening Hours:
Sunday 18:00-10:00
Monday to Saturday 20:00-10:00



10. Sandwich Boardwalk
A short and beautiful walking track on a wooden bridge that leads to the beach. From the bridge, you can observe a wide variety of animals (crabs and birds).

Cost: Entrance to the place is free except for the parking fee

11. Whale Watching Cruise
In Cape Cod, you can enjoy a unique, exciting, and exciting attraction that was worth the wait 馃惓馃惓馃惓
You have the greatest chance of seeing a whale between July and August since they migrate south during the cold season.
The cruise itself is not short and lasts 3.5 - 4 hours. The location I show on the map is one of a wide variety of companies that offer cruises. Choose the right company for you.

Pay attention to the sailing hours. The ship leaves twice a day, at 9:30 and 14:00. Some days, the hours change; check the website.

12. Windmill - Godfrey Windmill
Windmills were once an integral part of life in Chatham. There were about eleven windmills in the town from the beginning of the 17th century to the 18th century. There were also dozens of smaller windmills that pumped seawater to the salt works located along the town's shores. Chatham's Windmill, also known as Godfrey's Mill, was one of the last of the town's mills to be built.



13. Town of Chatham Fish Pier
I came to Chatham to see the seals swimming to the fishing pier in the hope of catching fish that fall or are thrown from the fishing boats. Chatham is considered a prestigious resort town. The main attraction is the fishing boat pier, where everyone comes to watch the seals. There is a high and tidy balcony overlooking the sea.
At the pier, the local fishermen bring in their catch. Visitors can take in the sights, sounds, and smells of the action from the observation deck. The fresh fish are placed on ice and transported in refrigerated trucks to New York, Boston, New Bedford, and local markets, arriving less than 24 hours after being taken out of the ocean.
Seals are also often seen from the observation deck of the fish pier, especially when boats are being unloaded.

Pay attention to the local traffic and parking regulations at the fish pier. Visitors can park in the upper lot, and residents can park in the lower lot with permission only.

Cost: Free
