Snaking through 2.5 miles (4 km) of city streets, the Freedom Trail creates a living link to Boston's key Revolutionary- and Colonial-era sites. Stroll from highlight to highlight and you'll see history adopt a vibrancy, palpability, and relevance unparalleled among U.S. cities. Some of Boston's most unique shops, restaurants, and attractions are also located along the trail. Starting point is in Boston Common at the Park St. T station (on the red line). Maps of the trail are available at the Boston Common Visitor Information Center. More Information
