Activity itinerary

Boston Common
  • 5m
America’s oldest public park, Boston Common, has witnessed nearly four centuries of history—from colonial grazing lands to Revolutionary War drills and modern-day gatherings. Take a moment here to imagine the generations who stood on this same ground in pursuit of freedom and change.
Copp's Hill Burying Ground
  • 5m
Overlooking Boston Harbour, this historic cemetery is the final resting place of merchants, artisans, and patriots who shaped the city’s early storey. Its weathered headstones whisper tales of everyday Bostonians caught up in the sweep of revolution.
Faneuil Hall
  • 5m
Known as the Cradle of Liberty, Faneuil Hall has echoed with fiery speeches and debates since the 1740s. Step into the meeting hall where colonists first found their voice against British rule.
Granary Burying Ground
  • 5m
One of Boston’s most visited cemeteries, the Granary is where Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock rest among ornate, timeworn gravestones. Every marker tells a storey of defiance, faith, and the price of independence.
King's Chapel (Pass by)
This elegant stone chapel, once home to Boston’s first Anglican congregation, blends British architecture with colonial resilience. Its adjoining burying ground, the city’s oldest, connects visitors directly to Boston’s earliest settlers.
Massachusetts State House
  • 5m
Crowned with a gleaming golden dome, the State House stands as both an architectural jewel and a symbol of self-governance. Designed by Charles Bulfinch in 1798, it reflects the ideals of the young republic it helped to lead.
Old North Church & Historic Site (Pass by)
Famous for the lanterns that sparked Paul Revere’s midnight ride, the Old North Church remains a powerful symbol of revolution. Its soaring steeple and sacred pews offer a glimpse into the faith and courage that fuelled America’s fight for liberty.
Old South Meeting House (Pass by)
Once a Puritan place of worship, this hall became a hotbed of rebellion as thousands gathered here to protest British taxation. It was from these pews that the Boston Tea Party was born.
Old State House (Pass by)
Boston’s oldest surviving public building witnessed both colonial rule and the dawn of revolution. Just outside its doors, the Boston Massacre unfolded—an event that forever altered the course of history.
Park Street Church
  • 5m
Rising gracefully beside Boston Common, Park Street Church became a beacon for progressive reform and abolitionist voices in the 1800s. Its spire still points skyward as a reminder of the city’s moral and spiritual conscience.
The Paul Revere House (Pass by)
The oldest surviving building in city centre Boston, this modest home once belonged to the famed silversmith and patriot. Step close and imagine Revere preparing for his legendary midnight ride.
Parkman Bandstand
  • 5m
Nestled in Boston Common, this elegant bandstand has hosted music, speeches, and celebrations since 1912. It continues the park’s legacy as a gathering place for public life and civic pride.
Boston Soldiers and Sailors Monument
  • 5m
Standing tall atop Flagstaff Hill, this grand memorial honours those who fought for the Union during the Civil War. Its bronze figures and marble reliefs tell a moving storey of sacrifice and unity.
Old City Hall (Pass by)
A masterpiece of French Second Empire design, Old City Hall reflects Boston’s nineteenth-century ambition and civic pride. Its graceful façade now houses restaurants and offices, preserving history amid modern life.
Boston Latin School
  • 5m
Marking the location of America’s first state school, this humble spot celebrates centuries of learning and leadership. Among its earliest students was none other than Benjamin Franklin.
Statue of Benjamin Franklin
  • 5m
Just steps from the site of his former school, this statue honours Boston’s most famous son—a printer, inventor, and statesman whose wit and wisdom helped shape the nation.
Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Regiment Memorial
  • 5m
This stirring bronze monument commemorates the bravery of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and his all-Black regiment in the Civil War. Its artistry and emotion make it one of Boston’s most powerful memorials.
Quincy Market
  • 5m
Bustling with shops, street performers, and local food stalls, this lively marketplace bridges past and present. Once a colonial trading centre, it’s now a favourite gathering spot for Bostonians and visitors alike.
