Things to Do in Boston: Tours, Tickets & Experiences
Boston is one of America's most walkable cities, and its history is literally marked on the pavement: the Freedom Trail's red line links the sites of the Revolution through downtown and the North End.
This guide covers Freedom Trail walks, Fenway Park tours, harbor cruises and whale watching, and the day trips — Salem, Cape Cod, Lexington and Concord — that Boston makes easy.

- Whale-watching season runs roughly spring through fall; check schedules before booking.
- Salem and Cape Cod day trips eat a full day each — don't stack them back to back.
