Freedom Trail

Walking through Boston's historic district, you'll discover that as the oldest city in the United States, amidst the skyscrapers, there are also old buildings full of historical stories. Most tourists who come here will take this route to visit Boston's Old Town.

It was already past 3 p.m. after lunch, and we'd only walked a small portion of the Freedom Trail. From the harbor, a short walk along the city streets brought us to Quincy Market, where we saw many horse-drawn carriages. Honestly, the Freedom Trail is quite long, and most people started at Boston Common and stopped at Quincy Market for a rest stop, which contributed to the huge crowds.

With one month to go until Christmas, various Christmas decorations have already been put up on the streets of American cities, and huge Christmas trees are everywhere.

The famous Quincy Market was our last stop on the Freedom Trail (we were too tired to walk after a day of walking).

The market is surrounded by extremely modern skyscrapers. Walking in the old city of Boston is like being at the junction of the past and the present, constantly traveling through different times.

On our last night in Boston, I'd seen so many beautiful photos of the city online that I couldn't help but remember one photo of the city from the waterfront. After walking a section of the Freedom Trail, we decided to drive to Fan Pier Park in southern Boston to capture the city at night. This stunning nightscape was an unforgettable farewell to our trip to Boston.

Regarding the Freedom Trail: You can join a guided tour at the visitor center. The guides will show you around in classical costumes on the boat. If you are not good at listening to English, it is better to give it a try.

The Freedom Trail is a red brick street that winds for over three kilometers from Boston Common to Charlestown. Along the way, you'll find 17th- and 18th-century houses, churches, and Revolutionary War relics. It's a crucial part of Boston's history and a tourist attraction actively promoted by the Boston government.

The trail starts at the visitor center in Common Park. You'll see it from the Park Str station, and then you can walk along the red bricks. The trail ends at one end, overlooking the USS Constitution, which is quite interesting, and the other, the Bunker Hill Monument.

It's fun. I can't remember when I went there. I'll go back if I have a chance.

There are clothing stores on both sides of the street. I had lunch at a Turkish restaurant. The pizza was good and the place was crowded. It's a famous place on this street, but I forgot the name. There are two fences at the entrance, so you can eat outside.

Following the map, you can roughly string together the attractions that need to be visited in downtown Boston.

The Freedom Trail is full of cultural attractions. If you are not familiar with the history of American independence, I recommend buying a Chinese-language Boston tour guide from the app. This will make the journey more meaningful.

I originally thought that walking along the Freedom Trail might be a rather boring itinerary. However, strolling through the streets of Boston, I was unexpectedly captivated and moved by this city. This city, rich in history, is so welcoming, cheerful, and full of humanistic feelings.

There are many attractions along the Freedom Trail, including historical buildings, various shops and restaurants.

Walking along the red tiles is the Freedom Trail, where you will see people dressed in 18th-century costumes explaining the route to tourists.

I really like the arrangement of attractions on the Freedom Trail. On the ordinary road, there are two red tiles guiding tourists forward. Along the way, they pass many historically significant attractions and learn about the history of the United States. It is quite like reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles.

The Freedom Trail is a man-made brick road. You don't have to look for it; it's right under your feet. All you have to do is start.

Boston is the most culturally and historically rich city in the United States. The Freedom Trail is a tourist route designed specifically for Boston. It connects buildings and attractions related to the American Revolutionary War. The trail is beautifully designed and marked with Freedom Trail signs. Following these signs, you can see the essence of Boston. The Freedom Trail begins in Boston Common and ends at Bunker Hill Monument. The entire route takes about three hours to walk.

I highly recommend walking from beginning to end. Remember, the Freedom Trail isn't closed off. Those with obsessive-compulsive disorder can take a car and start at a certain starting point, then slowly explore the trail along the way. So, you'll need comfortable shoes, a backpack (for water, groceries, etc.), and a brisk pace. Just keep walking. Follow me on China-TravelNote for updates on my travel plans and the beautiful scenery along the way.

The entire Freedom Trail (I didn't really understand the history, it was basically a tourist walk—photographing and walking) took over four hours, all walking. I recommend organizing your sights on a map. For longer distances, consider taking the bus in the summer, as it's too hot. If the weather is nice, I love walking with my boyfriend. We can take our time, savor the scenery, and chatting keeps the walk from getting boring.

Don't trust the map marked on China-TravelNote. It's wrong. It made me walk half an hour longer. I should have gone directly to the visitor center of Boston Park and started walking.

Starting from Boston Common, there are route maps along the way, but the road markings are broken in some places. The road markings are more complete near the monument.

Starting from Boston Common, the first half of the route is packed with attractions, and it's quite interesting to follow the red brick signs along the way. The second half is mostly just a training run, with relatively few attractions.

A must-see when visiting Boston is the Freedom Trail. While this so-called Freedom Trail isn't the same route the Revolutionary War troops took, it does exemplify the history of the American Revolutionary War's first shots and its march toward independence and freedom. Designed specifically for visitors, this historical journey begins in Boston Common and ends at Bunker Hill Monument. Two red brick lines guide you along the way, past more than a dozen historic buildings and attractions. Maps and explanations are available at the Visitor Center (inside Quincy Market). The entire walk, exploring and photographing, takes about three hours. It's best to arrive early, as some museums and churches close around 5 or 6 p.m.

It is a very historical attraction and a rare city in the United States with a strong literary and artistic atmosphere.

I really want to go, I really want to go, I really want to go, I really want to go, I really want to go, I really want to go

I like the city of Boston very much, don't miss it

A complete walk can basically cover all the attractions in Boston. The whole walk takes about three hours. There are trails at different times of the day, and there will be tour guides in distinctive costumes to lead the group on a tour.

Whether you are a tourist or a student, the Freedom Trail is the best way to get to know Boston.

American history begins here and needs to be seen.

I walked the entire route. It's a simple one, but it's full of historical significance, with some of Boston's classic buildings on both sides of the road.

The Freedom Trail was conceived in 1951 by William Scofield, a renowned Boston journalist. He envisioned a walking route that would allow everyone to explore Boston's cityscape and gain a deeper understanding of the origins of American history. The three-mile, red-brick Freedom Trail begins at Boston Common and ends at Bunker Hill Monument. It passes 16 historical sites, including 17th- and 18th-century houses, churches, and Revolutionary War sites. As a crucial part of Boston's history, it's often said to be the best place to start exploring Boston. Walking the entire route, marked with red markers, takes about half a day. The historical sites along the way offer a glimpse into the hardships people endured on their journey to freedom. (Source: Internet)

Exploring this historic and cultural city on your own two feet is truly rewarding. I really love this creative idea.

I thought it was a grand avenue, and I kept looking for it on the navigation, but it always showed that I had arrived. I walked a few steps and passed it. Later I found out that it was just a few rows of red bricks, which was Liberty Avenue, hahahaha

Boston is to Americans what Zunyi is to us: a revolutionary base. The Freedom Trail, a double row of red bricks, connects 16 historical and cultural sites throughout Boston, laying out the city's past before our eyes.

The history along the way is very interesting.

Most of them are concentrated near Boston Common, just walk along the red bricks.

My personal favorite is the Granary Burying Ground, across from the Suffolk University Law School. There, you'll find the tombstones of Paul Revere, the figure in the MFA's most famous portrait; the renowned painter John Smibert; Boston's first mayor; and three signatories of the Declaration of Independence: Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and Robert Treat Paine. The small obelisk inside was erected by the family of the renowned Freemason, Benjamin Franklin. The cemetery entrance is decorated with Egyptian influences.

A classic walking route to savor Boston's history, basically starting from Park St. and crossing the entire Boston city. It is a very good walking route with food, drinks and fun along the way.

If you are interested in history, you can follow the Freedom Trail. It is quite interesting!

The week in Boston was a particularly memorable journey. My son didn’t complete the Freedom Trail because he was too young at the time, but the whole city was really great. I hope to have the opportunity to revisit Boston again.

I walked through it twice, passing a cathedral and finding a small square space inside, which was a place for prayer. Then I passed some statues and some memorial decorations, walked across an iron bridge connecting Boston and Cambridge, and arrived at the towering monument. The second walk felt much shorter.

The most famous one! I was in Boston for a conference and stayed downtown. Every day I'd go to restaurants and hang out along this street. It was incredibly convenient for someone like me who has no sense of direction!

A road worth taking! Rich in history, you can enjoy the harbor scenery along the way

If you have limited time in Boston, you must take a day to walk along this trail. The essence of Boston's history is all here. If you have more time, the parks and some attractions along the way are worth a second visit. You can spend a few hours quietly, sometimes just to listen to the birds and people, or to feel the sea breeze and the heat of the sun.

History lovers can take a good walk and string together the entire city. Many historical buildings are interspersed with modern buildings, which is quite impressive.

I thought it would take a long time to walk, but actually 2 hours was enough.

This is a great way to get to know Boston. Take in everything as you go.

Take the red line. Along the way, you'll find historic buildings, shops, and eateries. You can stroll and eat your way through the route. It's a bit like the American way of retracing the Revolutionary Route, perhaps? I saw many Americans bringing their children to teach them about the history of these buildings. If you want to experience the "American spirit" of the people of Massachusetts, you should definitely take a stroll. And there are attractions along the way...

It is nice to visit the scenic spots in the United States, after all, it reflects the era at that time.

Following the directions on the road, you can stroll along and half a day will be enough.

This is a must-see for anyone wanting to understand Boston's history and culture. It takes about 2.5 to 3 hours to complete the walk and see the sights along the way.

It took me most of the day to walk the Freedom Trail. It was easy to find by following the red line on the ground. After crossing the bridge, I had to walk a long way to reach the last boat.

It's quite funny... It's just a road...

It takes a deep understanding of American history to understand the stories behind each building. Even without a deep understanding of American history, seeing the diverse architectural styles is a delight. The red guideline design is particularly worth learning from.

The Uber driver dropped us off at a corner and we were a little lost, but overall it was good.

The photo is of Boston's famous Freedom Trail...
