See the city from its streets and from the water with Boston Duck Tours. You'll take a ride on the amphibious DUCK vehicle and see important Beantown landmarks like the Boston Common and the Prudential Tower, and then you'll drive straight into the Charles River and see the city skyline from a distance. All the while, you'll have a tour guide telling you all about everything you're seeing.
Like many of the buildings in Boston, the Massachusetts State House serves as an embodiment of the city's important history. The state's capitol building, built in 1798, resides on land that once belonged to John Hancock. You'll recognize the building easily because of its 23-karat gold dome roof. You can see the State House while you're strolling down Freedom Trail, or you can opt for an in-depth tour of it's interior attractions.
Hang out on the shore at Carson Beach. Sun bathe in the sand or bike ride alongside the waves. This seaside destination is also popular for joggers and, of course, swimming and splashing in the waves or any other beach recreation you can think of.
Head to the Back Bay Fens and hang out next to a beautiful freshwater marsh. Along with the marsh, this link in the Emerald Necklace park system is home to ball fields, a wartime “Victory Garden” that was established in 1941, and the popular Kelleher Rose Garden, among other outdoor attractions. While you're exploring the park, be sure to pay respects at the World War II, Vietnam, and Korean War memorials that reside in the park.
