Despite the cobblestones that line some of the streets outside many Boston hotels, the Cradle of Liberty is a modern Mecca for twenty-first century Boston attractions. It's true. Many Boston attractions do center on Colonial-era history such as the patriotic Freedom Trail but once you've had your fill of the 18th century Boston attractions head over to Fanueil Hall Marketplace, Boston's top attraction, to do some shopping, eating and enjoying.
Boston hotels located near the Freedom Trail eliminate the need for moving vehicles altogether. Like most Boston attractions reachable by foot, good shoes and water are a must when taking Boston's most popular 3-mile walking tour. Follow the painted red line on the sidewalk that leads you on a self-guided tour of 16 Revolutionary sites, starting out at the Boston Common, America's oldest park, and ending up at the famed Bunker Hill Monument. Got your fill of Boston historical attractions? Now you're ready to refuel over at Fanueil Hall Marketplace. Opened in 1976, the festival market has spawned countless imitators in other cities but Faneuil Hall is as Boston as Norm from Cheers. To get your bearings, Fanueil Hall Marketplace is divided into five different buildings: Quincy Market (a three-building complex), South Market Building and North Market Building. If you're craving a cup of steaming hot New England clam chowder head over to the Quincy Market food court. If chowder doesn't appeal, you'll find everything edible under the sun from smoothies to schwarma. Weather permitting, soak in the Boston vibe by sitting at a table outside at Durgin-Park, a traditional New England seafood restaurant chock full of Boston flavor.
