Destination Overview

Essayist Oliver Wendall Holmes once described Boston as the \?ub of the solar system\? and the Hub it is! This beautiful city on the bay is richly endowed with landmarks of historical significance and unlimited cultural and entertainment possibilities. Boston is a city of fascinating narrow streets and byways that invite exploration on foot.
The Freedom Trail (also known as the Red Line you see running along Boston"s sidewalks) winds through a path of 16 of the historically significant sites associated with the beginnings of our Republic. The tour begins at the meadowlands of Boston Common and ends at the harbor in Charlestown Navy Yard, winding along the way for 2.5 miles through downtown Boston and the attractive North End. Sites along the trail include Faneuil Hall, the Old North Church, and Copp"s Hill Burying Ground.
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts house some of the world"s most famous works by such greats as Singer Sargent, Rembrandt, Vermeer and Botticelli as well as a stunning three story garden atrium. Meanwhile, Fenway Park, one of the most vaunted in baseball, is home to the no longer cursed Red Sox, while football"s Superbowl Champion Patriots reign supreme in Foxboro.
