Top Things to do in Fenway / Kenmore
The 6 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Fenway / Kenmore, Massachusetts (MA)
October 12, 2021 Agatha Simes
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.
