Advantages: See a lot of the city, learn about American history

Disadvantages: you need to pay to get in to some attractions but not very much

The Freedom Trail is a walk through American history. It's over 2 miles long and encompasses a great deal of the city, it's a great way to see Boston and learn a few things!

You can pick up the trail at any point, it's marked by a red line on the pavements and it leads you to many of Bostons tourist attractions: the common, Mass state house, Quincy market, Faneuil hall as well as graveyards that include the graves of Samuel Adams and even Mother Goose.

You can pick up maps of the trail all over the place, there is a visitor centre on the edge of Boston Common that has useful information. We picked even picked up a map in the Cheers bar at Quincy Market, makes a nice souvenir.

Boston is a lovely city and it has a lot to offer, by doing the Freedom trail you'll see things you may want to come back to another day, in fact it's about a 2 day tour if you see all the houses etc the great thing is the trail is free to do and a lot of the attractions are free too...the State House is well worth seeing and it's still in use so is really interesting. Paul Revere house cost a few dollars to go in but the guide in there was excellent.

You can't go to Boston and not do the Freedom Trail!!

Summary: A great way to see Boston
