In the North End, you’ll pass by the Paul Revere House and Old North Church, where the actors recreate the fateful Midnight Ride.
Faneuil Hall, another stop on the trail, is an old-world structure with modern amenities. Shop the variety of merchants housed in this historic indoor marketplace. A number of street performers are on hand to liven up the already bustling scene on the cobblestone sidewalks outside the building.
The Black Heritage Trail showcases another side of Boston’s history. It winds past Boston landmarks like the African Meeting House. Built in 1806, the building is one of the oldest African American churches in North America. Inside, the Museum of African American History will introduce you to the thriving community that sprung up in Boston’s Beacon Hill.
You can’t fly from Moncton to Boston without visiting its famous Fenway Park. Home to the Boston Red Sox since 1912, Fenway Park still attracts large crowds.

Climb the left field wall, nicknamed the Green Monster, where countless legends have hit home runs out of the park.
For some more outdoor activities, head over to the Jamaica Plain neighbourhood. Many of Frederick Law Olmsted’s landscaped masterpieces surround the area.

Charlestown
Sail through history
Cruise into the riverside neighbourhood of Charlestown with flights from Moncton to Boston.
One of the oldest communities in Boston, the history of Charlestown stems from its location of where Paul Revere began his Midnight Ride alerting the city of British presence.
Climb the 294 steps that lead up to the Bunker Hill Monument. The giant obelisk honours the first battle of the American Revolution in 1775. While the 221-foot statue is an impressive sight, the view of Charlestown is a spectacular reward after the intense hike.
Throughout the neighbourhood, you’ll also notice traces of its rich Irish roots. Waves of immigrants sailed into the Boston Harbor during the Great Irish Famine, settling in Charlestown. You can taste the Irish crafted flavours in local and imported beverages in Charlestown’s bars and restaurants.
The Warren Tavern, which opened in 1780, is one of the oldest establishments in the area. Although it predates the arrival of the Irish, it boasts a well-brewed legacy. It counts President George Washington and Paul Revere among its many prominent patrons. Grab a seat in the historic tavern for a bite of the delicious burgers and live music.
Charlestown’s history stretches down to the Boston Navy Yard. The once active shipbuilding site now serves as a scenic waterfront retreat. Floating in the dry docks is the celebrated USS Constitution or as it is more commonly known, Old Ironsides.
The 18th century warship marks the end of the Boston Freedom Trail, but offers a new trek into the past. Step into the USS Constitution Museum for some legendary Maritime stories. You’ll discover a treasure trove of naval artifacts and exhibits behind the museum walls.
