Charlestown’s hilly roads, narrow streets and gaslight
lamps, make it an enticing neighborhood to visit.
Follow the Freedom Trail over the Washington St bridge
from the North End or take the scenic water locks to
Paul Revere Park. Walk through City Square and stroll
down cute Main street, wandering up the windy
residential streets to Monument Square, where you can
learn about the city’s history along with a great view
...More
of Boston at the Bunker Hill Monument. While it’s not
a huge area, there are some excellent restaurants.
Find your way to the Charlestown Navy Yard, which is a
developing area with lots of condos and an additional
site for Massachusetts General Hospital research
centers. Here you will also find the USS Constitution
Museum. After you’re done, hop on an MBTA ferry at the
dock on Baxter street and zip on over to Long Wharf
and the New England Aquarium.
