    About the best thing there is to see in Boston and it's among the few things that are free. Boston Harbor is a beautiful site and you can spend hours walking around here. It has the Harbor walk that goes on for miles. Good things like museums and parks to check out while going along. This also is nice just sitting on a bench and chilling too. It has many ways to get here and around. Some of these are good and cheaper. The best way is probably by the bus because it also gives you a good view. Much of this is on the east. The Silver Line takes you through the best areas here. Get on it for free at the airport. This takes you past many of the piers and wharfs. Harpoon Brewery is one of the highlights. Lots of seafood places to get fresh lobster if you're into that. Have fun watching the ships come in. The Institute Of Contemporary Art is the best museum along the way. Also goes into neighboring cities like Charlestown. This is so massive you can spend a few days and not only hours looking around here. A lot more about it that can be talked about. It has too much around here to say all of this of course. This has lots of interesting things to check out.

    Nice and clear sky.

    We had a lot of fun on our Boston harbor walk when we were in the city last week visiting. This is my first time being in Boston we hit up a lot of different sites and sceneries and we spent a lot of time outdoors and the beautiful city. This is one of them as we get a walk around the harbor and see the beautiful water and the sites that Boston has

    Harborwalk extends around quite a bit of Boston's waterline. I've been able to enjoy parts of it in East Boston near the Airport which have been nice and then tonight, I found that it extended through the Fort Point section and the Seaport District. Walking along the harbor and under the Congress and Summer Street bridges just before sunset was lovely. A beautiful backdrop of the buildings near South Station including the Intercontinental Hotel and the Federal Reserve appeared. Stunning! I'll need to see about spending some time in the different areas like Carson Beach in Southie.

    I accidentally got very lost and walked through a creepy alleyway trying to find this place but eventually I just searched for Boston Tea Party and found this place. It has beautiful views but I'm not sure I found the right place

    It is a parking lot with a view of Conley terminal and the channel. It is private during the week. You can not stay here long past a limit. I don't remember the limit. Part of the harbor walk with free binocular viewing spot.

    I had to walk on the Harbor Walk in order to get to my City Lights cruise on the Northern Lights boat. It goes along the wharfs by the Wharf Waterfront Hotel and is a very picturesque walk. You can watch the sunset and look at people's fancy boats. It's also dog friendly. The weather here is perfect in June. At night, you can see all the pretty lights of the city while you stare off into the dark and glistening waters by the harbor. My fiance noted that it's a really nice location for proposals. I was worried the walk would be private and not accessible to the public but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was able to get from point a (near the Aquarium) to point B (the Northern Lights boats) while avoiding the large crowds of people toward the city and enjoying some more nature.

    A must see while in Boston. Enjoyed the walk along the harbor as well as sitting on dock area watching sail boats and sea gulls. Beautiful day to see a beautiful harbor.

    Have lived in Boston all my life and still have not done this. I always go to Castle Island and bike the area but did not know the trail went all the way to Morrissey Blvd (Dorchester). Gonna have to complete this trail in increments and invite my biking meetup group. Beautiful water views, great biking, flat paved mostly, Dorchester part has some gravel near UMass. This is a must do!

    I've never walked the full length, but the portion that I have done, from Fort Point Channel up to the North End, is absolutely beautiful.

    The Esplanade was a revelation, one of the highlights of my trip to Boston!…read more We took the T-red, got off Charles/MGH and it was a short walk to the Esplanade, a few miles alongside Charles Rivers with beautiful views of the river, wild life, the bridge and the city! We went on a Saturday morning, locals were walking, jogging, sitting on a bench drinking their coffee. Teams were out in the water roving, a nice visual Boston cliche that you see in movies, but I got to see for real. You can walk for miles here, till you get to the BU Bridge in parallel with the beautiful houses of Beacon Hill. Nice nature, cute bridges, birds, peaceful spots to stop by and look at the water, enjoy a book or a coffee. Nice locals offered to take our photos and we enjoyed chatted with. Beautiful sculptures, clean restrooms, lots of greenery. Great spot for a picnic also. I am sure it's pretty here at sunset. I am sure they have events here as well. My husband regrets not knowing about it. He went to Boston University and walked the BU Beach and the Bridge, but wasn't aware of this part. He would have loved to come here for peaceful walks and some reading. We didn't want to leave. A must see place in Boston!

Lots of paths, grass, benches to just sit and chill. What's cool is how much it changes with the seasons. Spring and summer it's super lively and green. Fall has really nice foliage. Winter they turn the Frog Pond into a skating rink, which is actually pretty fun. What I really like about the Common is how connected it is to everything. You can walk straight to the Public Garden, Beacon Hill, Chinatown, Downtown Crossing, or even hop on the Freedom Trail right from the park. So it always feels busy but not in a crazy, overwhelming way. There's usually something happening too, whether its street performers, random events, protests, food carts, or just people hanging out with friends. You get a good mix of tourists and locals, which makes it feel like an actual city spot, not just a tourist trap. It's generally kept up pretty well. That said, like any busy city park, some areas can get crowded or a little messy during peak times. But honestly, on a nice day it's one of the nicest places in Boston to just slow down for a bit. Overall, Boston Common's a must-see whether you're visiting for the first time or you just want a nice place to walk, relax, or people-watch in the middle of the city.

More than just a beautiful public park, Boston Common is deeply connected to the founding history of our Nation and offers visitors a chance to experience a small piece of America's past firsthand. The park is exceptionally well maintained and provides a wonderful atmosphere whether you enjoy history, walking the city, or simply relaxing outdoors. One of the most striking sights is the impressive Soldiers and Sailors Monument standing prominently near the center of the park -- a reminder of the generations that came before us and the enduring history surrounding this area. Whether you are visiting with family, taking in the historic surroundings, or just looking for a pleasant walk through the city, Boston Common is absolutely worth experiencing while in Boston.
