Have a walk in Boston!

Looking for a Boston hotel? The brightest city of Massachusetts, and one of the major in the United States of America, is also known as the "America's Walking City", not without a reason. The best way to discover Boston is indeed to put your snickers on, forget your car and to stroll around the city!

There cannot be a travel to Boston without a walk along the Freedom trail. This red bricked line links some of the major historical places of the city, and replaces it in its crucial role during the Revolutionary period. So, rediscover your basics in an entertaining way while listening to a free guided tour, and meet the pages of your school book for real!

You should begin this experience from the oldest park in Boston, called Boston Common, and then have a look to the golden dome and peach walls that make the State House one of the most beautiful buildings in the country. Passing in front of the Park Street Church, you will then meet the Granary Burying Ground, housing the tombs of the most pre-eminent figures of the city. Continue until the King's Chapel and Burying Ground, then the Old Corner Bookshop which had its age of glory while publishing Charles Dickens or Louisa May Alcott, and make a stop in the Old South Meeting House. Let the emotion overwhelm you in front of this building, while thinking it stayed in history by being the place where the Boston Tea Party occurred, and that single meeting led to the American Revolution. Walk in the paces of history while visiting the site of the Boston Massacre, imagining the battle, the uniforms, the shoots...

Just a few meters after, you will find the Old State House, where the Declaration of independence was read to Boston's inhabitants from its balcony in 1776. Follow the road and have a look to the Faneuil Hall, just the time to let your mind float on the brilliant debates of the Boston Brahims. Your next step will be the Old North Church, which also played its role during the Revolution, as a lighthouse to inform the patriots of the arrival of the British float. You will have to pass the Copp's Hill Burying Ground, and cross the Charles River to go to the Bunker Hill Monument, which commemorates a decisive Revolutionary battle, and the lives gave to the birth of the nation of the United States.

The last step of the Freedom Trail is the USS Constitution, the oldest war-ship afloat nowadays. And if you are tired of walking, why do not take a boat for a harbour cruise?
