14 Experiences to Add to Your Boston Bucket List

OK, history buffs, this is for you! If you're looking to visit the grounds of the first major battle of the American Revolutionary War, make your way over to the Bunker Hill Monument. Located across the Boston Harbor in Charlestown, this 221-foot granite monument marks the end of the Freedom Trail. However, if you want to avoid crowds, consider following the trail backwards so you can visit this landmark first!

Although it's a bit of a workout, visitors can climb the 294 steps to the top of the monument for a spectacular view of the city as well as the harbor.
