Day 1: Freedom, Food & Waterfronts 

Walk Through History on the Freedom Trail

Freedom Trail Tour Guides

Start your Boston adventure in the heart of the city: Boston Common. Then jump on the Red or Green Line and hop off at Park Street Station—it couldn’t be more central for launching your day! 

From here, join the Freedom Trail Foundation® Walk into History Tour. You’ll stroll brick-lined paths swirling with stories of revolution, discovering everything from the famed Massachusetts State House to the Old South Meeting House, where rebels once plotted over tea. The sights are as photogenic as they are meaningful, and you’ll end pumped to explore further. 

Savor the Sights—and a Lobster Roll—on the Waterfront 

After soaking up the city’s radical roots, head toward Faneuil Hall and the Boston Harbor, both an easy stroll or a quick ride on the Orange Line to State Street. It’s time to indulge.  

We suggest signing up for the Boston Harbor Walk & Seafood Tour by Top Dog Tours. This entertaining and delicious stroll takes you along the scenic waterfront, with stops to sample creamy chowder, buttery lobster rolls, and even North End cannoli. Guides share all the salty tales behind the harbor’s past and present, from pirate escapades to Prohibition smuggling. 

Explore the USS Constitution Museum 

From the harbor, take the Charlestown ferry (MBTA water taxi, which is far more fun than just another bus ride) to the USS Constitution Museum in the Navy Yard. The museum celebrates “Old Ironsides,” the oldest commissioned warship afloat, and gets hands-on in a way kids and adults equally adore. Test your sailor skills, haul lines, and even design your own ship. 

Lunch Recommendation: Don’t miss James Hook & Co (on the walk between the harbor and Navy Yard). The lobster rolls are packed with big chunks of meat, and the no-frills outdoor picnic tables invite you to relax amid bustling harbor views. 

Evenings in Boston: Pizza & Pub Crawls 

By evening, loop back on the ferry or the Orange Line to Haymarket for a stroll around the North End (Boston’s own “Little Italy”). If you’re a fan of classic Italian fare, Regina Pizzeria on Thacher Street often tops the “best pizza” lists—chewy, fire-blistered crusts, bubbling cheese, and the smell of fresh basil wafting through vintage red-and-white decor. 

Got energy to spare? End your day with the Historic Pub Crawl by Top Dog Tours. You’ll sample local brews inside legendary taverns, swap ghost stories, and soak in traditional New England vibes under centuries-old beams. 

Day 2: Art, Gardens & the Wild Side 

Get Cultured at the Museum of Fine Arts

Museum of Fine Arts

Kick off day two at the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA), one of America’s most celebrated art museums. The Green Line’s E branch drops you right outside at the ‘Museum of Fine Arts’ stop. Wander through galleries brimming with everything from Monet water lilies to ancient mummies—don’t miss the American wing, showcasing Boston’s place in art history. 

The MFA’s airy, light-filled atrium and cozy cafes make it a perfect spot to linger and recharge for your day. Art buffs will love browsing the quirky gift shop for unique, locally made souvenirs. 

A Walk Through the Enchanting Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum 

Next up—just a five-minute walk from the MFA—lose yourself in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. This palatial home-turned-museum feels plucked from an Italian dream, with lush indoor gardens, Venetian-style architecture, and an art collection as eclectic as its founder. The blooming courtyard charms everyone, and every room tells a story. 

Lunch Recommendation: The New American Café (inside the MFA) offers creative sandwiches, salads, and great people-watching in the soaring glass gallery. For a slightly bigger appetite, Flour Bakery & Café nearby is famous for its sticky buns and hearty roast chicken sandwiches. 

Go Wild at Franklin Park Zoo 

Spend the afternoon at Franklin Park Zoo for a well-earned change of pace. Ride the Orange Line to Forest Hills, then take a quick bus or ride to the entrance. Set within leafy parkland, the zoo features everything from gorillas in the Tropical Forest to playful red pandas—an easy, refreshing break from the city with plenty of room to explore. 

Dinner Recommendation: Head back toward downtown and tuck into dinner at Legal Sea Foods in Long Wharf. Their clam chowder and freshly shucked oysters deliver classic Boston flavors with slick, nautical vibes and views across the harbor. 

Evening Stroll: After dinner wander along the Rose Kennedy Greenway, a ribbon of public parks packed with art installations, fountains, and locals lounging on the grass. If you time it right, you might catch an outdoor movie or evening light show! 

Day 3: Harvard, Science, and the North End 

Hidden Secrets on The Harvard Tour

Harvard Tour Guides

Start your final morning in the hallowed halls of Harvard. Take the Red Line to Harvard Square and join The Harvard Tour for exclusive access to storied corridors and grassy quads. Guides mix university legends, pranks, and centuries of academic achievement with just the right amount of wit and wisdom. 

Afterward, take a quick wander down Brattle Street, window-shopping indie bookstores and quirky boutiques on your way to pastries at Tatte Bakery—almond croissants and iced coffee here are non-negotiable. 

Get Curious at the Harvard Museum of Natural History 

Science fans can’t miss the Harvard Museum of Natural History, just a stone’s throw (or brisk 10-minute walk) from the Yard. This museum dazzles with jaw-dropping dinosaur skeletons, sparkling gemstones, and the mesmerizing Glass Flowers collection—each plant is so realistic you’ll swear they’re fresh picked! 

Lunch Recommendation: Shake Shack right in Harvard Square serves up addictive crinkle fries and creamy shakes—perfect for a fast but satisfying refuel. 

Food Lovers Unite on the North End 'Little Italy' Food Tour 

Make your way back downtown on the Red Line for the North End ‘Little Italy’ Food Tour by Top Dog Tours. You’ll taste your way through this energetic neighborhood, dig into legendary cannoli at Mike’s Pastry, admire the Old North Church’s history, and learn the tales behind Boston’s tight-knit Italian-American community. Enthusiastic guides weave stories as you stroll cobblestone streets lined with cheerful trattorias. 

Dinner Recommendation: Finish your Boston journey at Neptune Oyster (arrive early to snag a seat). Their lobster rolls and fresh oysters have earned cult status, and the tiny, bustling space feels like a New England seafood shack dream come true. 

 

There you have it! Three days through Boston, from revolutionary tales to modern cuisine, explored at a pace that leaves plenty of room for surprises along the way. Whether you’re diving into museums, savoring cannoli, or living your student dreams in Harvard Yard, this city promises adventure around every corner.

Best Boston Souvenirs

Hello there! Welcome to the gift shop. Sadly, we only have one thing in stock. It's this guide to the best souvenirs in Boston. Hopefully, you aren't looking for ice cream. We don't sell those. But, if you're interested in the best Boston souvenirs, you're in luck, partner. Here's a menu with all of the best souvenirs in Boston. Including: Freedom Trail memorabilia Boston Red Sox souvenirs Harvard attire Baked beans - really Irish things and more! Freedom Trail frills The Freedom Trail is one of Boston's most important historical landmarks. So, why not commemorate your journey down the red brick road with some keepsakes? Right next to the Paul Revere House, you'll find North End Gift Shoppe, which sells all manner of freedom-esque attire, from freedom hats to freedom slacks. Want a freedom snowglobe? No? Well tough luck, because you're buying one before you leave! Why not take a tour that will lead you right there? Godly bothers Ever wondered if a church would dare sell gift shop oddities? Wonder no more; just hop on down to Old North Church and browse through the shop's many Boston-themed souvenirs. Books? Yes. Clothing? Yes. Jewelry? Yes! You can even pick up inspirational items like nativity figures for your very own Jesus Christ-approved Christmas setup. Holy Moses! You're a consumer, Harry! Any Potterphiles out there can also pick up some awesome wizarding merch at the Harry Potter Shop. Grab your wand and fly to Newbury Street, and enter a world of wizarding wonder. Mugs, wands, scarves, and anything else any depressed muggle would want to brighten up their banal, magic-free lives. Put your red sox on Whether you're a baseball fan or not, the Boston Red Sox is arguably one of the most famous bat/ball teams in the world. In the last twenty years, they've won the World Series four times, and every year, rabid fans gather around Fenway Park to cheer them on. So, why not go grab some sweet Red Sox memorabilia during your trip? The team store contains loads of great baseball content, like jerseys, baseballs, hats, yearbooks, and collecting cards. Even if the stadium doesn't interest you, you'll find plenty of vendors around the city proudly displaying their wares. Bunker down One of the most famous battles of the War of Independence took place at Bunker Hill. So you can bet your bottom dollar that there's a shop full of memorabilia for you to purchase. Located off of the Freedom Trail, the Bunker Hill Monument has its own gift shop, where you can pick up Bunker-related souvenirs and other oddities dedicated to both the battle and Boston itself. So, have at it. Also other sports things! Besides the Red Sox, Boston has a handful of other famous sports franchises that call it home. At the TD Garden, you'll find shops dedicated to both the basketballing Boston Celtics, and the hockey-pucking Boston Bruins. So go pick up a t-shirt, hat, or jersey and wear them with pride. So what if you're not from Boston? Who's going to stop you? No one, that's who. J R R Token When visiting Boston, chances are you'll take the subway at one time. But long before the advent of contactless cards and digital ticket readers, Bostonites used something else to get through the gates. That's right, people, we're talking about subway tokens. So why not commemorate your vacation and pick one up for yourself at the MBTA gift shop? Sure, it might be a useless sliver of finely crafted metal now, but boy does it tell a story. A story of how people used to pay to ride the subway. They even sell other subway-related memorabilia like toy subways. Perfect for kids who just can't get enough of riding the subway trains. Kids, ey? Easily pleased. Harvard? I hardly knew...ard One stop on your Boston tour should be the city's famous Harvard University. Not only can you take a tour of the facilities with a real, authentic, 100% human student, but you can even visit the campus' rather fantastic Natural History Museum. But why would anyone believe you even went without any proof? Well, don't worry about that; just pick up some sweet Harvard threads and other things at the Harvard Shop! Yes, even you could pretend you attended Harvard by buying a sweet hoodie, or sports-related jacket. Then, use what you learned on the tour to convince others that, yes, you were worthy to walk its halls and learn many things about things. Luck of the Irish Do you ever wonder whether you have too few Irish things in your abode? Need a little green to add to the sheen? Well, guess what? You can do it! Simply head on over to one of the many Irish-themed souvenir shops you'll find in the city. Our recommendation is Southie's Own on W Broadway, where you'll find plenty of delightful Irish oddities to purchase with real money. Do you like Shamrocks? They sell many things adorned with the sprig, including hats. They also sell flags. These should suffice. In the Beantime Baked beans. Love them or hate them; they do exist. We can prove it! Boston is even called Beantown because they became a staple for settlers of the New World. See, proved. And, if you're visiting Beantown, sorry, Boston, then why not pick up the town's modernized take on the humble bean? Nothing quite says America like adding sugar and meat flavors to a healthy legume. These delicious treats are worth the investment, and will be the perfect gift to any friend you'd like to confuse. So go on, get beany with it! Sorry. That was inappropriate. Adamized And finally, let's end with one of Boston's most famous exports; beer! You may have heard of a little brew called Samuel Adams? Well, that tasty treat is based in Boston, so why not buy a t-shirt or other form of clothing that celebrates the suds at the brewery's gift shop? They do hats, beer, coasters, beer, shirts, and even beer. So what are you waiting for? Thanks for reading the menu; hopefully, it helped you discover the best Boston souvenirs. Looking for more Boston fun? Here's our guide to the best times to visit the city! But what if Boston isn't safe? Well, you can find out if it is right here (spoiler alert: it is).

Best walks in Boston

On your marks, get set... walk! That’s the way to do Boston, anyway. Unassuming, academic and full of history, this city is the ideal place to stretch your legs as it’s also very accessible, very flat, and very pretty. There’s a good mix of city lights and green spaces, and the Charles River winds serenely on its way to Massachusetts Bay offering lovely walks along the esplanade. Beware the weather – the icy wind off the Atlantic can make things pretty wet and chilly in winter – but don’t let it put you off! Fuel up on some Boston baked beans, grab your raincoat and try out one of these awesome Boston walks: The Freedom Trail Financial District to the Theater District The Movie Mile Harvard to MIT The Battle Green Tour The Emerald Necklace Trail The Freedom Trail Many key events of the American Revolutionary War took place in Boston, and a lot of these historical sites are now accessible to visitors. To make it easy, 16 of them are connected by the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail which runs from Boston Common to Bunker Hill. It’s marked by a red path on the ground so you can’t really get lost – but if you’re finding all the history a little disorientating then use your pass to take a Freedom Trail Foundation guided tour. It covers 11 of the 16 sites on the trail, including Massachusetts State House, the USS Constitution and the site of the Boston Massacre. Your guide – complete in 18th century costume – will share all the stories of revenge and revolution so you won’t get your dates and declarations in a tangle. The Financial District to the Theater District This easy walk gives you a great overview of the modern and historic side of Boston in just a couple of hours. Start at the World Trade Center bus stop and enjoy the view of the wharf and Congress Bridge before exploring the financial district. Here, as well as being able to witness Boston’s buzzing economy in motion, you’ll find the Boston Children’s Museum, the Boston Tea Party Museum, King’s Chapel and Burial Ground and the Irish Famine Memorial. Soak up the history, then go for some retail therapy at Downtown Crossing before heading towards the Theater District via Washington Street and Tremont Street. This route will take you past Chinatown, which makes a colorful diversion if you’re feeling peckish, and you’ll come out by the Shubert and Wang Theaters. From here, it’s an easy saunter to Boston Common, where you can either have a look around Emerson College Campus or just flop down on the grass and give your legs a rest. The Movie Mile Many of Boston’s iconic landmarks are familiar to us because we’ve seen them so often on film and television – so why not get to know them in person? Take the Boston Movie Mile Walking Tour with Go City and discover over 30 locations you may have seen in films like Ted, Good Will Hunting and The Departed, or TV shows like Ally McBeal and Cheers. You’ll take in quiet, unassuming neighborhoods, historic homes, the original Cheers pub and the bench where Robin Williams and Matt Damon shot one of their most famous scenes. Make sure your big and small screen trivia knowledge is up to date, as your guide may just quiz you along the way! Harvard to MIT This is a great walk that combines two of the city’s most famous institutions with a generous taste of student life in the city. North of the river in Cambridge, these two academic heavyweights are only a mile or so apart, but a slightly detoured route will also take you past Harvard Stadium (home of the New England Patriots until the 70s) and Harvard Business School. Explore Harvard Square on your own or join a guided tour, then head west over the Anderson Memorial Bridge towards the stadium. If you’re lucky, there might be a game going on, if not, it’s still worth a wander around. From there, turn down Harvard Way past the Baker Library to the Business School, and then circle back to the river and use the Western Avenue Bridge to cross back over. Turn left and walk along the river to Magazine Beach, then head east towards MIT. If you need more intellectual inspiration, you can take another guided tour, or check out the List Visual Arts Center. The “Let it Begin Here” Battle Green Tour Take a deep dive into American Revolutionary History with a guided tour of Lexington Battle Green, included with your Go City Boston Pass. This small area is of huge historical significance, being the place where the first shots of the war were fired. See the Old Belfry that sounded the alarm, the Buckman Tavern where nervous militiamen gathered the night before the battle, the Revolutionary War Monument, the Old Burying Ground and the Henry H. Kitson Minuteman Statue. Hear stories of how the battle unfolded, George Washington’s thoughts on the whole affair, and the meaning behind the famous “Stand your ground” inscription. You’ll also see some houses and other buildings dating from the same era, so you can really feel that you’ve traveled back in time. The Emerald Necklace walk A favorite among locals and visitors alike, this walk gets its name from the way it links a chain of sparkling parks and green spaces through the city. It’s a great one if you want to get away from the concrete jungle and give your legs a proper stretch – it’s around nine miles and does include some elevation, so allow up to four hours – more if you want to stop for a picnic somewhere! Start in Franklin Park – Boston’s largest, where you’ll also find the Franklin Zoo. From here, the walk takes you through the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University, Jamaica Pond, Olmsted Park and along the Riverway to Muddy River. This route also takes you past the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts. Continue along the long, green space that is the Commonwealth Avenue Mall all the way to the Public Garden, then either cross the suspension bridge or take the left path past the Robin Williams Memorial Bench. Finish by exploring Boston Common and be sure to take a selfie in front of Brewer Fountain! Step it up with Go City You can walk pretty much anywhere in Boston! Make sure you don’t miss anything with a Go City Explorer or All-Inclusive Pass and save on dozens of attractions around the city.

10+ Things to Do in Salem Massachusetts for Halloween

October is one of the best times to visit Salem, Massachusetts, the “witch town” known for its sinister past and spooky aura. For the entire month of October, haunted happenings take over Salem to celebrate Halloween and fall in the area. Haunted Happenings features a calendar full of events, special programs, and live shows. These distinctive seasonal events complement the attractions, museums, and tours that Salem offers year-round. If you’re looking for things to do in Salem on Halloween and October and nearby Boston, check out our list of the best local activities and attractions, including: Salem Witch Museum House of Seven Gables Peabody Essex Museum Halloween Cruises Bewitched After Dark Salem Walking Tours The People vs Bridget Bishop Gallows Hill Haunted Footsteps Ghost Tour Guided Tour of Salem & Marblehead Boston Attractions When is the best time to visit Salem, MA? Salem is busiest on weekends when it fills up with tourists, but it's arguably at its most festive when thronged with people. However, if you're in search of a less hectic experience, you can head to Salem any weekday in October or during one of the first weekends in the month. You’ll still find plenty of seasonal things to do. Dedicate at least one full day to seeing the sights in Salem and consider an overnight stay to join in on some of the spooky night-time walking tours and ghost tours offered. Some of the top hotels in the area recommended by Haunted Happenings include the Clipper Ship Inn (budget-friendly), Hawthorne Hotel (a historic hotel), and Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites (award-winning lodging). Do remember that October dates will book up fast, so make your reservations in advance. The closer to Halloween it is, the more difficult it will be to get to Salem in heavy traffic and find reasonably priced parking. If you're coming from the Boston area, we recommend you take either the commuter rail (Newburyport/Rockport Line) or a bus to avoid the hassle of parking. That said, there’s nothing quite like spending Halloween weekend in Salem as it is always jam-packed with fun and spooky things to do. Salem Witch Museum Do you believe in witchcraft? At the Salem Witch Museum, get an insight into the complex and evolving perception of witches 'from midwives and healers to witch hunts and Wiccans.' Salem’s most visited museum presents the witch hysteria of 1692 in a way that is educational, thought-provoking, and a bit spooky. You'll learn all about the infamous witch trials, the events leading up to them, and what life was like in Salem at the time. They also offer a fun and eclectic gift shop that sells everything from artisan wares to the most inspired Halloween costumes you'll ever see. It's a nice place to pick a unique fall souvenir. House of the Seven Gables The House of Seven Gables is New England’s oldest wooden mansion. Built in 1668, it was made famous through the fiction of Nathaniel Hawthorne, author of The Scarlet Letter. A must-visit attraction for book lovers and American Literature fans. In October, add to the experience with their program of specialized audio tours. Experience a more personal history of Salem from the perspectives of the people who didn't make it into the history books with the Passages of the Past Audio Tour, or try out their Immersive 360 Tour where you'll join senior historical interpreter David Moffat for a unique and online venture through over 350 years of history. Peabody Essex Museum Home to a collection of one million artifacts and natural treasures dating back to 1799, when sea captains would bring home treasures from their travels overseas, the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) offers Salem visitors a unique examination of world history. See fascinating exhibitions of African, American, Asian, Native American, Oceanic, and Indian art, including photographs from 1840 (the year photography was invented!). The PEM regularly features exhibitions on The Salem Witch Trials, where visitors can learn more about factors that fueled the much-storied crisis, including individuals who rose to defend those accused. Halloween cruises A cruise around the storied waters of Salem is a fun and different way to get in some prime leaf-peeping during peak season and take in the history of the area. The 2-hour narrated Lighthouse & Foliage tour goes on a 14-mile loop of the scenic Salem Sound. The Haunted Happenings Harbor Cruise features a 90-minute entertainment cruise. It's complete with face painting, fortune telling, spooky photo ops, scary stories, and more. A full bar and grill are available on every cruise. They also offer a Halloween Boo!s Cruise, which is ideal for adults and groups of friends. These offerings from Mahi Cruises are seasonal and are available during the fall or the month of October, depending upon the selected cruise. Salem Haunted Happenings There's no shortage of things to do in Salem Massachusetts. Just check out the Haunted Happenings events calendar for the complete lineup of activities and fun things to do in Salem during this popular time of year. There's everything from face painting and farmers' markets to cruises and hayrides to haunted houses and witch hunts. Some of our popular picks include: Salem Psychic Fair and Witches Market Salem Common Family Movie Night Salem Haunted Magic Show Presents: Hysteria! Hollowed Harvest: Wicked Labyrinth and much, much more! Bewitched After Dark Salem walking tours These engaging tours are led by local historians who can't wait to share Salem's eerie history with you. They warn, however, that "history is more frightening than fiction," something easily spooked visitors would do well to remember! Look out for the Salem Witch House, one of the few structures directly linked to the witch trials of 1692.  Cry Innocent: The People Versus Bridget Bishop Head back to 1692 when Bridget Bishop was accused of witchcraft and is up for trial. At Cry Innocent, you'll be immersed in the experience by serving on the Puritan jury. You’ll hear her testimony, cross-examine the witnesses, and decide the verdict in this critically acclaimed interactive theatrical performance. We promise you won't leave the theater without thinking differently about the infamous Salem witch trials! Gallows Hill This multifaceted attraction has it all - a haunted museum filled with lost objects and abandoned exhibits, an exhilarating, 4-D experience show, and a fascinating Ghosts & Legends Trolley Tour. Gallows Hill is one of the most popular attractions in all of Salem and is great for Halloween explorations. Keep in mind that some attractions might not be suitable for small children. Haunted Footsteps Ghost Tour The Haunted Footsteps Ghost Tour is one of Salem's most haunting attractions. Experience Salem's longest-running ghostly tour with the city's 'spirited' tour leader! The knowledgeable ghostly guides combine captivating storytelling, macabre humor, and stellar presentation to convey Salem's authentic haunted history. Delve into the Witch City's intriguing and often sordid past on their highly recommended 90-minute nightly strolls. Costumed narrators recount by lantern light true tales of documented paranormal activity, chilling cemeteries, Colonial witchcraft, Victorian murder, and more! This tour is leisurely paced; the tour distance covered is approximately a half mile. Guided tour of Salem and Marblehead Join a full-day guided tour of historic Salem and Marblehead. It's an especially perfect tour to take during October, as they highlight many of the Haunted Happenings events. This tour covers lots of North Shore highlights, including Marblehead, Abbott Hall, Salem Harbor, and more. Keep in mind the tour lasts about seven hours altogether, so this will be your main attraction for the entire day. Add Boston to Your Itinerary Fall is one of the best times to visit the Boston area; the air is crisp and cool, while the vibrant orange and yellow leaves provide the perfect backdrop. Want some more fun? Skip almost 100 years in time from the era of witch hysteria to the era of the American Revolution. Explore historic attractions such as: the Paul Revere House the Freedom Trail the USS Constitution Museum and more! Then, stop by the Samuel Adams Brewery to sneak a sample of their special Oktoberfest beers. Looking for more info on Boston?
