Boston: The Walking and Shopping Capital of America

Built on a peninsula, Boston is a city full of historic streets and architecture - much of which remain preserved today - that were built to accommodate an 18th century population who lived on a pedestrian scale. Follow the Freedom Trail and spend a couple of hours walking along a route that passes 16 historical sites covering two and a half centuries of America's most significant past. The Freedom Trail includes the Old State House, where the Declaration of Independence was first read in Boston, Faneuil Hall, Old North Church and the brilliantly restored Quincy Market.

It's a well known fact that shopping is one of the top reasons people visit Boston – above sightseeing and museums. One look at the city’s boutiques, malls, department stores, and outlets and you’ll understand why people flock here to stock up on clothes, shoes, jewelry and books.

Enjoy the pedestrian paradise that is Downtown Crossing; take a stroll on fashionable Newbury Street; or stay under one roof at the various flagship stores and Malls in the area, including - Cambridge Side Galleria, The Prudential Mall, Copley Mall, Macys, Marshalls, Filene’s Basement and H&M.

Venture outside the city via car or by scheduled shuttle bus and visit the Wrentham Village Premium Outlets and enjoy the best deals at 170 outlet stores.
