Walk the Freedom Trail the first time you visit Boston and you'll quickly get a sense of this coastal city's revolutionary spirit and history. But make sure you also explore some of Boston's fine museums (try the Isabella Stewart Gardner, featuring masterpieces displayed in their collector's mansion) and old neighborhoods (like the North End, Boston's Little Italy). You can't claim to have experienced real Boston culture, though, until you've watched a Red Sox game from the bleachers.

The shops at downtown crossing are excellent. We travel here at least once a month. The past 2 times there has been a heavy police presence. We had no idea why until our last trip which was in the 1st week of November. The ongoing problem is the homeless people and the drug addicts. They are more aggressive when panhandling. Our 1st night here we witnessed many people drinking liquor openly and chasing tourists to try to get money. We made sure we were always near the groups of policemen. If the police were not present, I don’t think I would feel safe shopping in this area. Our hotel concierge told us that the city is faced with not only the COVID epidemic but also a heroin pandemic. It certainly is true in this area. People were stumbling around, passed out or screaming obscenities to passerby’s. I would recommend only traveling to this area in the day time hours.
