Things to Do in Boston: Boston City Tours


# 1 American Repertory Theatre (64 Brattle Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, United States, (617) 547-8300:


There is probably no other theatre in the country to gather as much awards and recognition as the American Repertory Theatre. With a Tony Award and a Pulitzer Prize under its belt, there is no wonder it was named the third best theatre across US by Time magazine. In case you want to see some shows, program your Boston tours between September and June, as there are no shows scheduled for mid summer.


# 2 The Emerald Necklace:


This is the name given to a collection of nine parks that stretch over 1,100 acres of land, connected with one another through waterways and parkways. Your Boston sightseeing plans should always include a visit to the creation of Frederick Law Olmsted, the man that decided to link Boston Common with the Public Garden, using the natural advantage offered by the Muddy River.


# 3 Boston tours must see: Walk to the Sea:


This tour is intended as a crash course on Boston history, as, during just one hour, you will be taken through no less than 400 years of history. Not only you will be taken to see all the important historical landmarks, but you will also be able to do some modern Boston sightseeing, as the city’s most important skyscrapers are also included in this tour. The walk itself stretches on one mile, but it is the trip back in time that is even more worth taking.


# 4 The Bunker Hill Monument (Monument Square, Charlestown, MA 02129, United States, (617) 242-5641:


If you want to see Boston in its entire splendor from a high vantage place, consider including a trip to the top of the Bunker Hill Monument as part of your Boston tours. If you are confident in your physical powers, take the 294-step climb to the top, and the view that will welcome you once there will be worth all the effort.


# 5 Shopping:


Shopping makes Boston sightseeing an even more pleasant activity than it already is, with its performing arts, museums, and historic landmarks. If you are looking for a souvenir to take back home or offer to one of your friends, there is no better place to be than Joie de Vivre (1792 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02140, United States, (617) 864-8188), located on Massachusetts Avenue, where you can find a wide selection of toys, jewelry and tchotchkes. In case you want to create your own pair of sneakers, there is nothing easier than visiting the Converse store (348 Newbury Street, Boston, MA 02115, United States, (617) 424-5400, where you are presented with the opportunity of designing a pair of comfortable shoes, just for you. Those loving books more than clothes or jewelry, will definitely enjoy Boston tours including the famous bookstores in the area, where you can lose yourself among piles of books.


# 6 The Bell-in-Hand Tavern (45-55 Union Street, Boston, MA 02108, United States, (617) 227-2098)


After a day of Boston sightseeing, there is no better place to stop for a bit of rest and fun than The Bell-in-Hand Tavern. Opened in 1795, it is considered the oldest tavern in all US; here you can grab lunch or dinner, participate in some karaoke fun and listen to local bands playing, in case you think your voice is not exactly in tip top shape.
