Things to See in Boston
Known for its Revolutionary landmarks, Boston is a popular destination for visitors who want to see where the founding fathers plotted to break from British rule – and the sites of the resulting skirmishes. The Freedom Trail (marked with inlaid bricks in the pavement; maps are available at tourist information centres) is a good starting point.
