Making a day trip to Boston? Here are our recommendations for the perfect Boston day
trip, using your Go Boston Card.
Start your day off with two of the premier Boston Attractions: The Museum of Fine Arts and Fenway
Park. They're separated by a 15 minute walk, so it's easy to visit both in the morning
before continuing on with your sightseeing in the city.
The Museum of Fine Arts almost needs no introduction. Over a million visitors come into the museum
each year; they're able to see over 450,000 works of art, explore different exhibits,
films, and dining options.
Once you make your way over to Fenway Park, catch a Fenway Park Tour see such famous
Fenway sights as the Green Monster and the Lone Red Seat without having to pay for tickets
to a game.
The next stop on your day trip is Downtown Boston.
Your downtown exploration begins in the Boston Public Gardens, and the Boston Common.
The Boston Common is the nation's oldest public park, and is full of countless historical
landmarks. It's also the starting point for the Freedom Trail Walk Into History Tour.
The tour takes only 90 minutes, and is practicably a non-negotiable when making a trip into Boston.
Another perk of taking a Freedom Trail tour is that you'll be packing in some learning
and sightseeing while you're making your way to your next destinations: Faneuil Hall, the
North End, and Boston's waterfront.
Faneuil Hall Marketplace, home to Quincy Market, has been around since the mid-1700s. With
your Go Boston Card, you'll receive exclusive discounts and meal deals in the area at Cheers
Faneuil, The Hard Rock Cafe, Hennesy's, Paddy O's, the Green Dragon Tavern, and more.
If you're still in the mood for museums, the New England Aquarium is less than a five
minute walk from Faneuil Hall; and once you've taken in all the marine wonders, at Legal
Sea Foods or one of the many other seafood restaurants to sample Boston's most esteemed
cuisine.
For some Italian dining, there's always Boston's North End, comparable to New York City's Little
Italy. With a bevy of delicious dining options, get a taste of authentic Italian cuisine to
round of your day in this international city. Flash your Go Boston Card for special discounts
and deals at the Daily Catch and Strega.
You can visit all these attractions and so much more with your Go Boston Card. Visit
as many or as few attractions as you desire on your Boston trip for one low price. For
