Featured Attractions

Tour companies of all shapes, sizes and flavors offer tours of the sights and sounds that make up Greater Boston. By land or by sea, on bikes or in buses — even by gondola! — just don’t leave your camera behind.

The heart of America’s Revolution beat bravely in the streets and communities around Boston and Cambridge. Around every corner, you’ll be face-to-face with landmarks and experiences dating back to the very earliest of our days here. The trick is to pace yourself: it took hundreds of years for Greater Boston’s history to write itself along cobblestoned streets. You won’t cover it all in a few hours, so choose a tour or trail carefully and enjoy the rich heritage everywhere around you.

  • The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum portrays the life, leadership and legacy of President Kennedy’s 1000 days in office through exhibits, video, presentations and period settings.
  • The Children’s Museum, a museum where you’re encouraged to touch the exhibits. The Children’s Museum offers fun and education for all ages.
  • Fenway Park, the park where the Babe pitched, The Kid hit, Yaz dazzled and today’s stars still thrill Red Sox Nation. Fenway Park Tours provide a 50 minute historic walking tour of the ballpark, guided by an official Fenway Park Tour Guide.  Find out more about the rich history of Fenway Park, through generations of the great baseball players at: Fenway Park Milestones.
  • Your visit to Boston must include a walk into history along the Freedom Trail. You can start in the beginning, the middle or the end and wend your way through the streets of this very modern city — Boston — and along the paths of history.
  • Stay close to the water for a visit to the New England Aquarium.
  • There’s a magical place in the center of Boston like no other - Faneuil Hall Marketplace.  As alive today as it was in 1742 when our nation’s fathers proclaimed it “The Cradle of Liberty,” it combines the glories of Boston’s past with the urban sophistication of the city today.
  • A Duck Tour, an amphibious vehicle which takes you through the city and into the Charles River.
  • The Museum of Science , where you’ll catch fascinating exhibits.
  • The modern attractions of the Institute of Contemporary Art. The New York Times Calls ICA “a Stunning Landmark of the New Boston”… along the harbor this glass-and-steel cube makes looking at the water as much a part of the experience as the exhibits inside.
  • Just across the Charles River in Cambridge, enjoy the ethnic cuisine and plentiful bookstores of Harvard Square. If you’re scientifically minded, the MIT Museum will give you a lot to think about.
