TOUR
Get your bearings with a guided tour along Boston’s famous Freedom Trail, a 2 1/2-mile stroll through 16 historic sites. Book an expert-led experience through the Freedom Trail Foundation, featuring storytelling costumed guides. After your history fix, hop aboard a classic Boston trolley tour for a breezy ride past landmarks like Boston Common, the State House, and the charming brick-lined streets of Beacon Hill.
Swap the cityscape for seascapes with a short ferry ride to the Boston Harbor Islands. Explore the historic ramparts of Fort Warren on Georges Island, hike scenic trails, lounge on beaches, and watch soaring seabirds.
SHOP & SIP
Newbury Street is Boston’s most fashionable mile. Boutique shopping, art galleries, and charming cafes line this eight-block stretch of gorgeous Victorian brownstones. Don’t miss checking out the historic Boston Public Library and Copley Square, just a short stroll away. The nearby Prudential Center and Copley Place malls offer even more indoor shopping options.
Samuel Adams Brewery invites groups to go behind the scenes of one of America’s craft beer legends. Sample limited-edition brews and raise a glass to Boston’s revolutionary roots (cheers to that!).
APPLAUD
Cap off an evening with a performance by the world-renowned Boston Symphony Orchestra—one of the “Big Five” American orchestras—where the music is just as legendary as the hall itself.
If your visit falls during the holiday season, don’t miss the Boston Ballet’s spectacular performance of “The Nutcracker” in the heart of the Boston Theater District—an unforgettable experience brimming with sugarplum fairies and sparkling snow scenes. Outside of the holiday season, the district buzzes with Broadway hits, acclaimed plays, and musical performances year-round.
