Top Reasons To Go

Top Reasons To Go

The Freedom Trail. Walk along Paul Revere's fated path for a glimpse of living American history.

Posh Purchases. Strap on some stilettos and join the quest for fashionable finds on Newbury Street, Boston's answer to Manhattan's 5th Avenue.

Red-Sox Nation. Boston's baseball team is the one thing that will bring the entire city to its feet—or its knees. Few baseball fans, Red Sox faithful or not, can deny the mystique of one of the game's most hallowed grounds—Fenway Park.

Painted Glory. Gaze at paintings, listen to concerts, and stare down statuary at the beautiful Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. While away hours upon hours at the Museum of Fine Arts, contemplating the works of French masters Edouard Manet, Camille Passarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir; and American painters such as Mary Cassatt, Childe Hassam, John Singer Sargent, and Edward Hopper.
