Oliver Wendall Holmes once described Boston as the "hub of the solar system",
and the Hub it is! This beautiful city on the bay is richly endowed with
landmarks of historical significance and unlimited cultural and entertainment
possibilities. It is a relatively compact city, and most of the major places of
interest are within walking distance of each other.
The
Freedom Trail (also known as the Red Line you see running along Boston's
sidewalks) winds through a path of 16 of the historically significant sites
associated with the beginnings of our Republic. The tour begins at the
meadowlands of Boston Common and ends at the harbor in Charlestown Navy Yard,
winding along the way for 2.5 miles through downtown Boston and the attractive
North End. Sites along the trail include Faneuil Hall, the Old North Church,
and Copp's Hill Burying Ground.
Upon
completing the trail, many pause to try the cannoli at Mike's Pastry on Hanover
Street in the North End. Be prepared to wait in line. This bakeshop is popular
with locals as well as tourists (including Bill Clinton!).
