Freedom Trail
Boston's historic red-line walking route, best used as a first-visit history lane starting at Boston Common rather than as a reason to overpack the whole weekend.
- Official directions page identifies the Boston Common Visitor Information Center as a starting point.
- Best framed as routing guidance, not a generic attraction list.
