Things to do Discover Boston: Past, Present & Beyond

In this afternoon walking tour, you’ll you’ll hear the stories that connect Boston’s past, present, and future as a global city (or in our signature humility, as one of Boston’s official slogans calls our city, "the hub of the universe"). You'll cross parts of the Freedom Trail, hearing about the Revolution/War of Independence from the British Empire. You'll also hear of the numerous other "trails" that continue to inspire locals and visitors, such as the Innovation Trail, the Black Heritage Trail, the Irish Heritage Trail, the new Walking City Trails, and even the Ice Cream Trail! You'll also hear of some of the challenges we are facing, such as sea level rise from climate change and the rising costs of living, with ways that the people of Boston are working to lead the way to create a livable future. You'll have opportunities to experience the city on the water with our growing water ferry transit system as we hop between neighborhoods, taking in the city skyline along with the ocean breeze.
