Attractions in Boston
Fenway Park
Boston's most cherished landmark? Site of Boston's greatest dramas and worst defeats? To many Bostonians, it's not Bunker Hill or the Tea Party ship, but tiny old Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. Built in 1912, Fenway Park is one of the last survivors of old-style baseball parks. Only Wrigley Field in Chicago rivals its legendary status.

Warren Tavern
One of the oldest pubs in Boston, the Warren Tavern has been pouring pints for its customers since George Washington and Paul Revere drank here. It is named for General Joseph Warren, one of the fallen heroes of the Battle of Bunker Hill (shortly after which - in 1780 - this pub was opened).

Chacarero
A Chacarero is a traditional Chilean sandwich made with tender, grilled chicken or beef, muenster cheese, fresh tomatoes, guacamole and the surprise ingredient, steamed green beans. Stuffed into homemade bread, the sandwiches are the hands-down favorite for lunch in Downtown Crossing. This place is a lunchtime favourite so join the queue and enjoy.

Boston Harbor Islands National Park
Boston Harbor is sprinkled with 34 islands, many of which are open to the public for trail walking, bird watching, fishing and swimming. The Boston Harbor Islands offer a range of ecosystems - sandy beaches, rocky cliffs, fresh and salt-water marsh and forested trails - only 45 minutes from downtown Boston.

Paul Revere House
When silversmith Paul Revere rode to warn patriots of the British march to Lexington and Concord, he set out from his home on North Sq. This small clapboard house was built in 1680, making it the oldest house in Boston. The structure actually violated building codes of the day, which - in the wake of the fire of 1676 - required brick construction. Nonetheless, the house survived and has now been restored to its 17th-century appearance.

Museum of Fine Arts Boston
The Museum of Fine Arts Boston is one of the country's finest art museums. The vast galleries are especially strong in American painting, decorative arts, Asian treasures and European painting, including French impressionists. Adult tickets are good for two visits within 10 days (a handy feature, since there's so much to see).

John F Kennedy Library & Museum
This striking, modern, marble building - designed by I.M. Pei - was dubbed 'the shining monument by the sea' soon after it opened in 1979. The architectural centerpiece is the magnificent glass pavilion, with soaring 115-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Boston Harbor.

Sacco's Bowl Haven
For an incredible time warp, head to Sacco's - an unchanged and slightly beaten-up treasure last renovated in 1950. Inside you'll find lots of worn wood lanes, faux-marble benches, a giant stuffed swordfish and old metal lockers. The game de jour is candlepin, the skinny pin game of the Northeast. If you ever bowl here you'll never want to go anywhere else.

Johnny D's
While many nights you may or may not be impressed by easy-listening adult contemporary bands with little pedigree, whoever books at Johnny D's mixes up the sound with klezmer fiddlers, funk covers and notable blue grass acts like King Wilkie. Don't feel like paying cover? Head to the pink Formica bar where the farsighted can still see the stage.

Ye Olde Union Oyster House
The oldest restaurant in Boston, Ye Olde Union Oyster House has been serving seafood in this historic red-brick building since 1826. Countless history-makers have propped themselves up at this bar, including Daniel Webster and John F Kennedy. Apparently JFK used to order the lobster bisque, but the raw bar is the real draw. Order a dozen on the half-shell and watch the shucker work his magic.

Sel de la Terre
Local produce and seafood - plus fresh-baked bread from the attached boulangerie - are the focus of the country French menu at this gem of a bistro on the waterfront. The atmosphere is rustic and relaxed, but service is always attentive. If you are hungry during off-hours, the boulangerie is open early for breakfast, while the bar offers late-night snacks.
