More Free Things To Do in Boston Every Day

Besides many free events listed in our Free Events Calendar in Boston above, here are some more on-going Free Boston Events every day:

Walk the Freedom Trail
A self-guided tour of the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail brings explorers on a journey covering 16 historically significant attractions. Using the red bricks designating the route, walkers can go at their own pace. The full route of the Freedom Trail goes from Boston Common through the North End until ending at the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown. While most of the 16 highlights on the Freedom Trail are free to enter, some do have a mix of fees and suggested donations assigned. https://www.thefreedomtrail.org

Take in the Sights, Sounds, and Splendor at Faneuil Hall
Hanging out at Faneuil Hall doesn't cost anything unless you count grabbing a snack from one of the restaurants or food vendors in the colonnade. Browsing vendor carts, tuning into a live performer tapping the strings on a cello, and watching people hustling through the square are all free ways to enjoy an afternoon in a spot that has been a gathering place since before the Revolutionary War. faneuilhallmarketplace.com

Walk the Rose Kennedy Greenway
Considered one of the best green spaces in Boston, the Rose Kennedy Greenway came about due to the Big Dig. This public outdoor space offers a lush setting for strolling, resting, or taking in some art installations. While the greenway only covers about a mile, a visit can easily take up hours due to the many beautiful sights to take in along the path. https://www.rosekennedygreenway.org/

See the Bones of Boston
Boston is an old city with a number of historic cemeteries dating back to the Revolutionary War. While the epitaphs on many of the city's slate tombstones have been worn away by time, visitors can make an adventure out of reading the etchings that do remain. While there are several historic cemeteries throughout the city, the Granary Burying Ground on Tremont Street is the final resting place of Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Paul Revere, and other notable figures.

Tour Harvard
There's no need to pass the admissions test to get into Harvard to simply tour the campus. Weekdays are fun times to visit when school is in session because outsiders get a glimpse of what campus life is like while admiring the school's incredible architecture. Just be sure to stay out of any buildings that are closed off to the general public! The Harvard Square Red Line train stop is the fastest way to Cambridge for a tour.

Visit the Massachusetts State House
Watch history in the making with a free tour of the Massachusetts State House. Constructed in 1798, the building is a National Historic Landmark that offers free weekday tours lasting around 30 minutes. Self-guided tours are also available. 24 Beacon Street, Boston, MA | https://www.sec.state.ma.us/trs/trsgen/genidx.htm

Relax in the Boston Public Garden
No trip to Boston is complete without a trip to the beautiful Boston Public Garden. Offering a lush, beautifully manicured garden space covering 4 acres, Bean Town's main garden is famed for its large trees that have been shading paths for hundreds of years! Visitors can also enjoy fountains, benches, and picturesque landscaping. 4 Charles Street, Boston, MA | https://www.boston.gov/parks/public-garden

Take a Tour of MIT
Have a "Good Will Hunting" kind of day by visiting the famous campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Guests who venture here walk in the footsteps of some of the biggest names in engineering and research! In addition to being a brainy school, MIT is a learning institution with a campus full of beautiful art and architecture. Maps are available in the information office for those wishing to explore the campus using a self-guided tour. https://jwel.mit.edu/sites/mit-jwel/files/assets/files/self-guided_walking_tour_of_mit.pdf

Take in a Big View of Boston's Skinny House
The famed "skinny house" in Boston's North End is a must-see attraction dating back to just after the Civil War. This diminutive property with a large reputation was built by a man named Joseph Euestus who constructed the house in protest of his brother taking more than half of the land that was intended to be split between the two. The home's sole purpose was to block the view from the mansion built by Joseph's brother. 44 Hull Street, Boston, Massachusetts

Chase the Graves of Poets
It's not just political figures from the Revolutionary War era who call Boston their final resting place. Many poets and playwrights are also buried in Boston. The Victorian-era Forest Hills Cemetery is a free space attracting literary lovers on a daily basis due to its status as the burial spot for Eugene O'Neill, E.E Cummings, and Anne Sexton. The 300-acre space that makes up Forest Hills Cemetery has been updated over the years to include manicured greenery, an arboretum, and a sculpture garden. A full-color visitor’s guide for enjoying more than 60 points of interest throughout the cemetery grounds is available at the visitor’s kiosk inside the Main Gate. 95 Forest Hills Avenue, Boston, MA | https://www.foresthillscemetery.com/visiting/
