Why Boston is the perfect place for everyone to explore

Start with the history of Boston and visit Boston Common, the splendid central public park in the city centre. Dating back to 1634, it is the oldest city park in the United States, consisting of 50 acres of land. It was initially used to herd cows, the British army camped there before the American Revolutionary War in 1775, Martin Luther King Jr and Pope John Paul II have given pivotal public speeches there, and it continues to be a drawcard for public protests, meetings, concerts and leisure. It is the starting point of the Freedom Trail, where history buffs can follow a 4 km path through central Boston that passes by 16 locations significant to the history of the United States. Families with young children will enjoy the Frog Pond – a splash pool in the summer and skating rink in the winter. Adjacent to the Common are the Boston Public Gardens, famous for the “Make Way for Ducklings” statues that kids adore to climb and photograph.
