You can cruise to Boston from many destinations. One of the best things to do in Boston is to simply check out downtown. Just outside the Boston cruise port is a station for the subway otherwise known as the “T”. You are able to take the silver line to South Station which will place you in central Boston. Boston is a great place for any history buff due to its part in the American Revolution. One can follow the 2.5 mile long route called the Freedom Trail which will take you to 16 historically significant sites of the American Revolution. Stops include the Massachusetts State House, Park Street Church, Old State House, Paul Revere’s House, Old North Church and many other fascinating sites. Organized tours can be pre purchased online for $12.
The Great Outdoors
For the outdoor lovers, Boston has two large parks that are perfect for an afternoon walk including Boston Commons, America’s oldest public park, and Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park. For those who want to make sure they see it all, Old Town Trolley Tours offers a hop on hop off style tour throughout the city. This tour offers 19 unique stops that make sure you see the best of what Boston has to offer. Adult tickets are available online for $37.76. If you are looking for a good lobster roll check out Neptune Oyster located in the North End. If you are feeling adventurous try their burger topped with fried clams. For an unique flavor try Haley.Henry in Downtown Crossing. This is a wine bar that serves seafood with Portuguese inspired flavors.
Boston Sports
If you have the time, a Red Sox game is not to be missed if you happen to be in port on a game day. Boston as a cruise port is definitely seasonal so a Patriots game might also be an option, but Bruins and Celtics will probably require a dedicated trip to Bean town.
