« While in Boston, you absolutely must visit the most prestigious university in the country and one of the best in the world!

« Boston Common is the very first public park in the USA, established in 1634. Initially, it served as a public pasture and then became a site of execution, notably at a tree called the "Great Elm," where murderers, pirates, and witches were hanged. Executions were abolished in the early 19th century, and since then, the park has become a beloved retreat for the locals. Nowadays, the atmosphere in the park is quite positive, vibrant, and cozy! There are two ponds, one of which transforms into an ice rink during winter, along with numerous sculptures and intriguing spots. In the summer, people have picnics on the lawns, play sports, and get creative—the overall vibe is simply uplifting! Plus, this is where the Freedom Trail begins—a 2.5-mile walking route that takes you through Boston’s most significant historical sites, complete with brief descriptions near each landmark! So, if you’re visiting the city, there’s no need for a guided tour. Just make your way to the park, find the brick path marked with "Freedom Trail" near the entrance, and follow the trail laid out with red bricks! »
