How to Visit Boston in 2025: 3, 4, & 5 Day Itineraries

"I value the Black Heritage Trail for its 14 sites around Beacon Hill that illuminate African-American history in Boston; you can do a self-guided tour with free maps from the Abiel Smith School or join a guided tour to learn more about the city's role in the history of slavery and freedom." - Matthew Kepnes
