About 10Best's Boston Attractions & Activities Selections:
 No matter your interests, you’re sure to find a perfect fit among the many faces of Boston. If you’re intrigued by America’s early days, plenty of sites celebrate the country’s forefathers – and foremothers. The Freedom Trail, the Black Heritage Trail, and the Women’s Heritage Trail put visitors in the midst of the action and breathe new life into history-book names like Revere, Hancock, and Longfellow. Prefer wandering through peaceful parks and manicured gardens? Don’t miss Boston Common, the country’s oldest public park, or the Public Garden – eight bucolic blocks of trees, flowers, swans and ducklings, a lagoon, statues, and memorials. Folks with a penchant for architecture also revel in the city’s variety of styles, from the IM Pei-designed Hancock Tower to the Richardsonian Romanesque Trinity Church – disparate neighbors in Copley Square. If sports are your forte, a thrilling array awaits, from the beloved Boston Celtics to suburban Foxboro and its Super Bowl champ Patriots (2002, 2004, 2005), and of course, hallowed Fenway Park, home of the curse-busting, 2004 World Series-winning Red Sox.
