Itinerary

1. Start your walk at Boston Common — just open Ciceru nearby to begin exploring the city’s oldest public park, where rebellion once grazed beside cattle.

   10 min

2. Look up at the golden dome John Hancock’s pasture became — democracy with a fresh coat of gold leaf.

About Boston

Boston, the capital of Massachusetts, is a compact harbour city of colonial history, red-brick streets, universities and seafood on the New England coast.

Boston was founded in 1630 and played a central part in the American Revolution, and its Freedom Trail, a red line on the pavement, links sixteen sites across the old centre, from Boston Common to Charlestown. Beacon Hill has gas lamps, cobbled streets and brick row houses, while the North End, the old Italian quarter, has the Old North Church and the Paul Revere House.
