There are only a few cities in the country that are as rich in colonial past as Boston. Freedom Trail is a good example. It is lined by 16 historical monuments, such as Granary Burying Ground in Massachusetts, King’s Chapel Burying Ground, Massachusetts State House, Old State House, and Paul Revere House. When you begin your itinerary on Freedom Trail, ensure that you take brochures at Boston Common. The city also has a vibrant arts and culture scene, so visit famous museums, such as Arthur M. Sackler Museum, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and Museum of Fine Arts. If you are on a leisure trip with your family, New England Aquarium might interest you.
