The experience is very good, the tour guide keeps talking for an hour, amusing everyone. You can experience all the city views on the land surface. The moment I launched the water, I was videoing it. I met other duck boats during the journey. Everyone would learn to duck and say hello to each other.
It’s great, the children like it very much, and they can also let passengers experience the fun of driving on the wide water. The narrator in the car is also very humorous and humorous, telling the historical story of Boston very vividly.

The aquarium is well designed, but the venue is a bit small. When there are activities in the school, there are a lot of children coming. Boston in May was still very cold and encountered heavy wind and rain. The ticket price feels a bit expensive.
The New England Aquarium is an awe-inspiring destination for marine enthusiasts of all ages. With captivating exhibits showcasing diverse aquatic life, interactive touch tanks, and informative presentations, it offers a memorable and educational experience. Friendly staff and conservation efforts further enhance its appeal.

The terminal of the Freedom Trail
This granite monument in Charlestown, Boston, is said to be one of the earliest monuments in the United States, used to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill between the British Army and the North American Colonial Militia (OK, I admit that I checked it recently
)
Now this is the terminal of Boston's Freedom Trail. If the weather is good, you can walk all the way from Boston Park~
The only way to get to the top of the monument is to climb the stairs
There are a total of 294 steps, and numbers are marked every few steps, so that people who are panting and climbing the stairs can have a number in mind
There is actually only a small space on the top of the monument, but looking out through the small windows on all four sides, I immediately feel that climbing the stairs is worth it~
I went there a long time ago, around 2016, probably in November, it was already very cold, the weather was not very good, but it is indeed a good place to learn about the history of the founding of the United States. Be sure to remember to go and see it.

My dears, Trinity Church is worth a visit. In terms of architecture, Boston Trinity Church has a unique Chadson Romanesque style, with a rose-colored sandstone exterior, reliefs and red-topped towers that attract attention. New York Trinity Church is a Gothic Revival classic, which has been included in the National Register of Historic Places and was once a landmark in Lower Manhattan. In terms of culture, Moscow Trinity Church is an important Orthodox church dedicated to St. Vladimir. The interior murals and sculptures are exquisite, and there are precious works of art and cultural relics; there are also historical stories, such as the New York Trinity Church and Alexander Hamilton. In terms of the tour experience, the interior is quiet, and the New York Trinity Church is located at the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway, which can be connected to the surrounding tours.
The rose-colored sandstone exterior of Boston Trinity Church is unique.
This rose-colored sandstone is soft and warm in the sun, giving people a solemn and warm feeling. It has a hard texture and can still remain in good condition after years of baptism. The sandstone is decorated with exquisite reliefs. These reliefs are meticulously detailed and feature religious figures, symbolic symbols, etc., which add a strong religious atmosphere and artistic beauty to the building, making the church look solemn and dignified while showing an exquisite and gorgeous side.
Trinity Church is located in Cappelli Square, near the Boston Library, the Glass Building, and near Newbury Street, Prudential mallo
In the hustle and bustle of the city, the church with red walls and reliefs is reflected in the glass building, which is the intersection of reality and classical art.
Trinity Church was founded in 1733 and is an elegant Gothic retro-style church. The interior of the church is also antique.
Tickets: Church tours are $10 for adults, $8 for seniors with student ID and free for children.

This place has a great selection of food and treats to choose from. You can get some good stuff to take home to friends too.
[Fun] There are all kinds of food on the first floor of Quincy Market. It is recommended to find a seat as soon as you arrive, because it is hard to find a seat and it is always full no matter what time you go. There are also various unique small boutiques and specialty stores selling jewelry, clothing, and souvenirs.
[Scenery] It is very close to the Boston Harbor dock, and it is very convenient to take a boat to the port or take pictures. Quincy Market itself is a historical landmark, with the old City Council Hall, the market, the statue of President Quincy, etc. It is one of the must-see attractions in Boston.

Faneuil Hall, located on Boston's Freedom Trail, was built in 1742 by the wealthy businessman Peter Faneuil. It was originally used as a market. Before the outbreak of the War of Independence, it was used as a place for Boston citizens to gather and have free discussions. It has witnessed countless meetings and speeches by patriots, so it is also called the "Cradle of Freedom" and has played an important role in American history. This is a solemn, three-story red brick building with a Greek-style duplex. After a large-scale renovation, it was reopened to the public in August 1976. When you enter the hall, you can see the words on the wall: This is where the important moment of the founding of Boston was witnessed.
Faneuil Hall is a building on the Freedom Trail. Its red brick exterior is easy to recognize. Faneuil Hall was a historically significant place during the American Civil War. If you are interested, you can visit it.

I discovered this campus by chance while shopping in Back Bay. It looks very low-key from the outside, and I never thought that the famous Berklee College of Music is hidden inside. The campus is not big, with a teaching building hidden in the downtown area. The school name flag fluttering shows the true identity of this building. It is the largest independent modern music school in the world, famous for American pop music and jazz. I heard that it is easy to meet celebrities if you eat and shop around here. There are also MFA Art Museum and Boston Symphony Hall nearby. If you have enough time, you can check in together.
Berklee College of Music is a very famous music university in the United States, but the school is not open to the public. I walked around the small area and the surrounding area is also quite stylish, which is very suitable for a leisurely stroll.
