Suggestions for Landmarks and Outdoors near Downtown Boston, Boston

Nadine • August 31, 2013So beautiful. It's a great place to stop and watch people and the city. It runs near the north end and Chinatown. Grab some Italian pastry then walk off the calories as you go to Chinatown!

Dee H. • July 8, 2012During the hot hours of summer, the fountains here are the best way to relax with cannoli from Boston's North End, or wait for your reservation. Dip your feet in the water - it's usually cold!

Julie M. • November 29, 2016Variety of food places to choose from. Italian, seafood, thai, chinese, everything. Bakeries with delicious treats for those with sweet tooth. Seating area but packed on weekends.

Mary C. • July 24, 2014Great history, and rather surreal as you go from site to site, and each are surrounded by tall buildings, cars, etc., modern day Boston. Bring water if it's a hot, humid day, like ours was.

Harumi U. • August 19, 2014Right in the middle of Freedom Trail where you can find just about everything while you are traveling. Also you will find tons of street performers.

Christopher W. • August 8, 2015How can you not be moved by the moments outlined along the entire Freedom Trail. To see the chain of events that have led to the greatest democracy this planet has ever known.

Kenneth M. • February 21, 2012Lunch trucks provide an economical and delicious alternative to the usual brick and mortar eateries in the area.

Jeremy K. • August 26, 2014Great spot to have a mini picnic or read a book either by the fountain or the grassy area. A little urban oasis amidst all of the hustle and bustle of the skyscrapers nearby.

Ken H. • July 13, 2012One of the nicest gift shops on the Freedom Trail. Lovely historic Boston mugs. They now assign you a Revolutionary character on your pass, which is fun.

Jake S. • June 20, 2013While here, inquire about upcoming events; this building often has guest lecturers or speakers present in the main meeting hall. Interesting to see modern issues discussed in a historic building.
