One of America’s great walking cities, Boston is best explored by following the 2.5-mile self-guided Freedom Trail that unfolds through its historic neighbourhoods. Laid out in 1958, the trail connects 16 important sites, extending all the way across Boston Harbor to Charlestown.

The sign-posted path is a line of red paint or red brick (or both) that runs down the middle of the street. It begins at Boston Common, the nation’s oldest park (1640), and runs past Colonial and Revolutionary War-era landmarks such as churches, graveyards or ‘burying grounds’, monuments, and houses of government, as well as the USS Constitution, better known as Old Ironsides, the oldest commissioned U.S. Navy warship (1797).
