About this English self-guided 5h:03m walking tour in Boston
This tour covers the last few stops on the Freedom Trail which includes Bunker Hill and the USS Constitution. Obviously two stops don't make a tour so we found a plethora of additional sites to keep you happy. We found some parks, memorials, restaurants, old churches and even a really cool historic Fire House!
Are you ready to get started? Great! This journey begins in City Square Park. Head on in there and I'll tell you about it. So, according to the directors of Friends of City Square Park, this patch of beauty was once an urban wasteland. It's hard to believe when you stroll through the park now, but it's true. Back in the 1970's and 1980's there was a rather ugly old highway here that would no longer be needed once the city completed their huge tunnel project. The tunnels were finished in 1992 and this lovely park was opened to the public in 1995. Sure beats a nasty old highway, don’t you think?
Keep walking until you get to the fountain.
This beautiful fountain has been the backdrop for many events since 1995. Weddings, annual wreath hangings, concerts and even yoga. Go take a look! Then come back to this spot and head north.
