Step into the opulence of yesteryear and tour the Otis House Museum. The house is the last surviving mansion in what used to be Boston's most affluent neighborhood in the 18th century; the man who owned the home, Harrison Gray Otis, was a lawyer who served in Congress and was mayor of the city at one time. The Otis House is still decorated with furnishings that were the best of their time period, including fine furniture pieces and art work.

The Charles River Esplanade stretches along three miles of the beautiful Charles River and surrounding attractions. This spot is perfect for relaxating outdoors and enjoying a picnic, fishing, taking a gondola ride, or just sprawling out on a blanket and watching the river roll by. There are also several scheduled events here like fitness classes and festivals.

Sure, New York City and Hollywood are where the movies are made, but Boston has been the production spot of quite a few films. Let the people at On Location Tours take you on an excursion that shows off the spots in Beantown where movie magic has been made. Highlights include seeing the original Cheers bar and the park bench from Good Will Hunting.
