Go on a walking tour to discover the best hidden locations in Boston’s North End, the city’s oldest neighborhood. You’ll explore the skinniest house in Boston, lush gardens, and the site where the “crime of the century” once took place, all while walking Boston’s most historic and charming streets. Are you ready to get in on some of Boston’s best-kept secrets?
Starts at The Rose Kennedy Rose Garden
Boston holds more American "firsts" than any other city : the first public park, the first public school, the first public library, the first subway, the first marathon. Stroll through neighborhoods that shaped the nation and discover why historical Boston earned its reputation as the cradle of American civic life. This historical Boston walking tour takes you from the grand facade of the Boston Public Library through Copley Square, across the Public Garden, into Boston Common, up to the State House, and deep into the old city. At each stop, a piece of history snaps into focus. Along the way you will encounter the site where Alexander Graham Bell first transmitted sound, the church where Charles Dickens first read A Christmas Carol aloud, the oldest restaurant in America, and the oldest pub. Every stop is a record. Every block is a chapter of American history.
Starts at Boston Public Library
