Discover Boston: where tradition meets innovation

"Follow me – but be vigilant! The Redcoats could be lurking around every corner!" shouts the man in knee breeches and tricorn hat. With his coat billowing, he strides ahead as if it were 1775, leading his group on a Boston tour over the historic cobblestones. Visitors to Boston don't just travel through history, they literally walk right through it, as red bricks on the ground mark the Freedom Trail, which runs through the city like a red thread.
