Very small so you don't need a ton of time. Also no photography allowed so leave your cameras at home. But a great historical landmark!
Go during holiday time for one of their special events with musicians, apple cider, and strange old-timey baked goods.
Starting from his home, Paul Revere set out on his famous midnight ride in 1775 to warn his compatriots that the British were coming. Built in 1680, it is one of the oldest houses in downtown Boston.
It's eerie to stand there. We took the National Parks Service tour and it was great. The costumed tours tell you the folk legends. The NPS tells you the facts. Their guides have history backgrounds.
A circle of stones marks the site where on the evening of March 5, 1770, British soldiers fired on a mob of American colonists, killing five of them.

Very cool historical landmark with golden statues
Cool landmark
I came with the idea that I will see a basic museum but it's not! It's a really good museum! For adults, teenagers and children! Come at lunch time because it small so you'll have more space. :)
Nice view, interesting landmark
Amazing Monument check it out during the early morning it's beautiful.
This monument commemorates the Battle of Bunker Hill, where the famous command "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes" was issued. The ambitious visitor may climb the 295 steps to the top.
Such a very powerful and chilling monument to visit. Seeing the numbers as the steam rises up puts the impact of this horrid event into perspective and makes clear why we must never forget.
This monument, built in 1995, is covered with etched numbers recalling the 6 million Jews who perished in the Holocaust. Six glass towers represent the chimneys of WWII concentration camps.
I accidentally jogged through here with my dog
Now that you've visited the ducklings (and surely climbed atop the mother duck), head over to the pond during the summer to ride a swan (boat).

Don't try to park near the Gardiner. Park at the MFA or if that's full park down at Landmark shopping area, about a 5 or 10 minute walk.
Absolutely beautiful and charming museum. A must see for anyone visiting Boston. The cafe is quite good as well.
With the dim lighting and unlabeled paintings, this Venetian palazzo seems less like a museum and more of a private collection – which in fact it was. Visit on your birthday, and admission’s free.
Some favorites from our review: the Kenmore Squared and the Landmark. Rize also has a variety of gourmet salads. Portions are generous and come with hand-sliced potato chips or side salad. Read more.
Hidden gem in basement. Landmark sandwich is delicious.

A historic landmark & great architecture of the theater
Try the tea vanilla ice cream. Best in town!
Great presentation and love the new museum. Very friendly staff.
The USS Constitution Museum is a quick boat ride from Boston Harbor. Check out the interactive displays on site and take a tour of the ship.
Families can see what it was like to sail on this ship when they swing in sailor hammocks and ponder whether they could stomach a meal ration of wormy hardtack. Read more.
Go to this Boston landmark & try all the delicious treats. Everything is very fresh, services is always with a smile, just always good.
If you want a traditional cannoli, Maria's trumps Mike's and possibly Modern. The ricotta filling is thicker and not as fluffy as Modern's (which isn't a bad thing). Try the candied fruit topping!
Andrew Zimmern visited Boston's North End, an Italian neighborhood. He stopped by Maria's and tasted the cannoli and sfogiatelle. As seen on Bizarre Foods America.
