2025 Downtown Boston Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

Boston is arguably one of the most walkable cities in the United States and its downtown area is a perfect place to explore on foot, with its compact and easy to navigate layout. Some of the hidden gems in this area include. Norman B Leventhal park- the perfect place to take a seat on a sunny day, grab a coffee and admire the views of the skyscrapers that make up the financial district towering over you. Chinatown- A beautiful part of the city full of street art and a fantastic selection of restaurants. Brattle book shop- the oldest antiquarian book shop in the United States, a place where you can truly uncover history Washington Street- A pedestrianised shopping street with everything you need and a great atmosphere #boston #downtown

Just to share some of the places and restaurants that I like in Boston. If you are visiting Boston, I would recommend you to experience the Freedom Trail. It is a 2.5-mile-long path through downtown Boston that passes by 16 locations significant to the history of the United States. 📍Starts at Boston Common, 139 Tremont St, Boston, MA 02111 You may follow the red line on the sidewalk for a self-guided tour or join a guided tour. Also I would recommend you to visit Paul Revere House. The colonial home of American patriot Paul Revere during the time of the American Revolution. You will be able to learn about Revere's famous midnight ride and colonial life. 📍19 N Square, Boston, MA 02113 Besides, I would also recommend you to explore the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum. It is a floating museum with live reenactments, multimedia exhibits, and a tearoom, dedicated to the Boston Tea Party of 1773. You may participate in the reenactment and throw tea into the harbor. 📍306 Congress St, Boston, MA 02210 You may also visit the Old North Church, famous for the "One if by land, two if by sea" signal, this church played a key role in Paul Revere’s midnight ride. Would recommend you to try taking a guided tour to learn about its historical significance. 📍193 Salem St, Boston, MA 02113 Also, I would also recommend you to explore the Massachusetts State House. The state capitol and seat of government for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. You can take a free tour to explore around and enjoy the historical sites. 📍24 Beacon St, Boston, MA 02133 Last but not least, I would recommend you to try one of my favorite restaurant, Union Oyster House. It is the oldest continuously operating restaurant in the United States, serving traditional New England seafood. I would recommend you to try out the clam chowder and fresh oysters 🦪. They were all very fresh and delicious ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📍41 Union St, Boston, MA 02108 #getaway #trip #vacation
