Why go there?

Boston Common, America's oldest public park, offers a diverse range of activities and attractions over 50 acres in downtown Boston. Visitors can unwind on its lush lawns, enjoy iconic swan boat rides, and explore historical monuments. In winter, the Frog Pond transforms into an ice skating rink. The park hosts events, including concerts and festivals, and serves as a hub for the Freedom Trail, connecting visitors to the city's rich history. It's a versatile urban oasis for relaxation, recreation, and cultural immersion in Boston.
