The cradle of the revolution.  America's walking city.  Beantown.  Red Sox nation's headquarters.  Locus of culture and finance for New England.  Originator of 2 major American faiths.  Boston has much to share with visitors (and even long time residents), from well known landmarks dotting the "freedom trail" from its fabled past to modern attractions such as the recently expanded museum of fine arts. 

If you're just getting started, consider Search Boston's Boston city guide as a starting point which lists a number of hotels, tour operators, and other attractions.

For the adventurous, just grab one of several maps of Boston and see where they take you or consider a fishing tour to explore the depths and bring back something fresh to eat!

If you're interested in a carefully considered introduction to the city and not traveling with a group, a number of tour guides will spend a half to a full day with you often at reasonable rates.  From walking tours to bike tours, the variety of tours run the gamut from historical to natural tours, boat tours that show off the natural beauty of the area's shorelines, islands and ocean.
