Welcome to BostonDiscoveryGuide.com, an independent travel website about Boston created with enthusiasm by real people who live here, experience all the events, attractions, and fun things to do, and enjoy sharing them with you. 

Our goal?  Giving you the information you need to make the most of your trip to Boston, whether you're coming for the first time or know the city well.

Boston has its roots in Colonial times - and you'll find plenty of authentic sites to explore, including a few Revolutionary War era taverns (beer has always been the favorite brew here), and the city's famous Freedom Trail past 16 historic sites.

But it's also a vibrant modern waterfront city with a thriving theater district, four winning pro sports teams, a passion for music fueled by numerous shows on any given night, a foodie culture with lots of excellent chef-owned restaurants, and wonderful places to shop all over the city. 

If you're visiting with kids or teens, you'll find lots of family-friendly attractions and activities - best of all, many are free or low-cost. 

If you just like to explore and experience the "real" Boston - see the city as a traveler instead of a tourist - start with the city's eclectic mix of distinct neighborhoods, or walk the length our linear parks such as the Esplanade, the Rose Kennedy Greenway, or Harborwalk along the waterfront. 

Thank you for visiting Boston Discovery Guide.  

We hope you have a fantastic time in Boston!
