Follow the red-brick road, otherwise known as Freedom Trail. The trail stretches 2.5 miles and leads the way to 16 historical sites that are significant to American history. Some of the sites and attractions include the Boston Common, the Old State House, the Bunker Hill Monument, the Paul Revere house and the site of the Boston Massacre.

The Black Rose is the best place to grab a pint in Boston. Touted as the city's premier Irish pub, the Black Rose offers traditional Irish cuisine and beverages. Enjoy favorites like fish n' chips and corned beef along with a pint of Guinness or the bar's own sangria. This popular nightlife hangout also features live music 7 nights a week.

While you're hanging out in the Boston Public Garden, take a ride on the city's signature Swan Boats. The boats are the only ones of their kind in the world and they float the waters of the Public Garden lagoon. A ride on one of these boats is the best way to see all of the attractions in and around America's first botanical garden.
