Your Take
For this issue of Beacons, we asked you: What is your favorite tourist spot in or around Boston?
“I have my own favorite spots in and around town, but for tourists, the first stop should definitely be the Freedom Trail. Just follow the line and you can’t get lost while hitting all of the historic highlights of the city.”
— Brian Hutzell ’90
“Long Wharf is a great place for tourists to spend time viewing the various activities around Boston Harbor and the Seaport District. It is within walking distance of the Aquarium, Christopher Columbus Park, Quincy Market, the Rose Kennedy Greenway, and many restaurants and hotels.”
—Susan Flynn ’67
“What is better than getting the true historical Boston experience by reenacting the Boston Tea Party by throwing tea over a ship? Nothing! According to USA Today, it was voted as the #1 ‘Best Patriotic Attraction.’”
—Emily Franciszkowicz ’23
“The Public Garden is a beautifully maintained sanctuary in the middle of the city. Filled with weeping willows, ducks, and squirrels. A space where people can stroll and relax. The Public Garden always seems filled with joy when I am in the city.”
—Aaron Battista ’88
