If you're a book lover there's no better way to celebrate that than by visiting the Boston Public Library, the nation's second largest library. This huge library is home to around 6.1 million books, in addition to about 1.7 million rare books and manuscripts that feature records from colonial Boston, early works of William Shakespeare and the personal book collection of John Adams.
If your Christian faith is something near and dear to you, or if you have a love for beautiful and historic architecture, then you must tour the Trinity Church Boston. This Episcopal church and architectural attraction was built in the late 1800s and the American Institute of Architects considers it to be one of the “Ten Most Significant Buildings in the United States”. Intricate stained glass windows, elaborate murals, and dramatic architectural features are all elements of this gorgeous landmark building.
Journey to the center of the Earth at Boston's Mapparium, a large attraction housed at the Mary Baker Eddy Library. The Mapparium is a three-story, painted-glass dome with a glass bridge stretching across the “globe”, allowing visitors to stand in the middle of the Earth. The lovely structure is illuminated with LED lights during the presentation of A World Of Ideas, which is basically an exhibition global history.
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.
