When we speak of Boston, we think of the Freedom Trail. You can set out on this trail for free if you so wish. The trails are all marked with red bricks and paint so you really don’t need anyone to guide you through. You will find about sixteen different stops along the entire Freedom Trail.

If you do some research in advance about the trail, you will find that you can very well go on this one yourself. The best place to find out about things is the Visitors’ Information Center on the Boston Common.
