The Freedom Trail is a 3 mile walking tour around the heart of historic Boston. The path is marked by a red line painted or bricked
into the sidewalk. The historic sites relate mostly to the American Revolution. The Freedom Trail begins in Boston Common and ends in
Charlestown at the Bunker Hill Monument. A map can be purchased at the Information Booth near Park Street Station, but also note that most hotels
offer free historic brochures that contain maps. The Freedom Trail can
be very educational, but is also a great path to follow for shopping,
dining, or to just enjoy the city.
If you want to spend a lot of time at each site, consider following the trail to the Old South Meeting House or Old State House, and then start again from there on the next day. The Trail can
take many hours to explore if you are interested in a lot of detail.
The Freedom Trail starts at Boston Common near Park Street Station. Below is a list of the official sites (with
selective additional detail pages):
