Walk the Freedom Trail the first time you visit Boston and you'll quickly get a sense of this coastal city's revolutionary spirit and history. But make sure you also explore some of Boston's fine museums (try the Isabella Stewart Gardner, featuring masterpieces displayed in their collector's mansion) and old neighborhoods (like the North End, Boston's Little Italy). You can't claim to have experienced real Boston culture, though, until you've watched a Red Sox game from the bleachers.

This National Historic Landmark, one of America's great buildings, was built in 1877 by architect H.H. Richardson.
this is first of all a church and secondly a tourist attraction. there is a charge to go in. If you are interested in arts and crafts - this is heaven - it was built in 1877 by Henry Hobson Richardson. Woodwork in the pews is beautiful with each roundel at the end of the pews being slightly different. every style of leaded glass is represented including some designed by the British artist Edward Burne Jones and executed by his friend William Morris who was the leader of the arts and crafts movement in England. Everywhere you look there is beautiful stonework, glasswork, painted murals or timber carving.

Located on historic Beacon Street, this museum is housed in a 1859 Boston brownstone with Victorian furnishings.
While visiting a family friend living in a similar house on Beacon Street 3 blocks away, we decided to take the tour of the Gibson House. It was interesting for us to compare the two 1890's homes, my friends house with modern plumbing, electricity, and newer bathroom and kitchen amenities, with the same size house and similar floor plan filled with all the original fixtures and furnishings. The docent was excellent, and commented that Charles Gibson, the last owner, stated that he wanted to keep the home in the original condition because people living in the 1940s were not be interested in how upper middle class Victorians lived, but folks living after the year 2000 would want to experience that moment in time.

This tony neighborhood--one of the two most expensive residential areas in Boston--started as a bay. The bay was filled in during the 19th century to create the area now known by the name Back Bay. The area is known for its Victorian brownstones, the Boston Public Library, shopping, office high rises and upscale hotels.
There are quite a few popular neighborhoods in Boston, so it's hard to decide where to stay... If you stay in Back Bay, you can find almost everything you need in walking distance (if you're a walker). You can even walk to the North End, or a quick Uber ride can get you there quickly. There is sooooo much to see in Back Bay, and you if you're in town for a short trip, you don't need a rental car.
