Top 5 picks from the Foresyte community.
#5 Fenway Park Tour
Shared by Jackie Ryan – 22 ❤️
“Baseball’s beating heart. Even if you’re not a Red Sox fan, Fenway is hallowed ground. The Green Monster, the echoes of past games, the energy still alive in the air. A bucket-list stop for any sports lover.”
#4 Harbors & History
Shared by Anne Stewart – 56 ❤️
“Boston is where old meets new. Cobblestone streets lead to glass skyscrapers, and history isn’t just something you read about—it’s something you walk through. We spent our time sailing, eating, and soaking in the energy of a city that never forgets where it came from.”
#3 Boston Tea Party
Shared by Jackie Ryan – 58 ❤️
“History, hands-on. We didn’t just hear about history—we threw tea into the harbor ourselves. Actors in full colonial gear, interactive exhibits, and the kind of experience that makes the past feel real.”
#2 Freedom Trail
Shared by Robyn Campbell – 99 ❤️
“2.5 miles of living history. Walking in the footsteps of revolutionaries. Every turn brought another landmark—Paul Revere’s house, the Old State House, the site of the Boston Massacre. This city wears its past like a badge of honor.”
#1 Whale Watching
Shared by Quentin – 273 ❤️
“Giants of the atlantic. Seeing a whale breach right in front of us? Unreal. We left with salt in our hair, grins on our faces, and a newfound appreciation for how wild this planet really is.”
