BEST OF BOSTON: LEXINGTON AND CONCORD
Spend a history-centric day off the ship exploring the best of Boston, visiting the grounds of Harvard University and paying your respects to the historic battlefields at nearby Lexington and Concord.
The coach ride will first take you across the Charles River to Cambridge and the oldest of Harvard University’s colleges, Harvard Yard, where you’ll have free time on your own. Back on the coach again, you’ll move on to the town of Lexington to visit its historic Battle Green as the place where the first shots were fired in the battles of Lexington and Concord in 1775. Moving on again, you’ll next reach the town of Concord and the Old North Bridge, famed as the site of the first full battle of the American Revolution.
Returning to Boston, you’ll have some free time for lunch on your own (at extra cost) at the early 19th-century Quincy Market, where a wide array of restaurants and food stalls await you. Last up, enjoy drive-by vistas of key Boston landmarks such as Copley Square, Trinity Church, the Boston Public Library, Back Bay, Beacon Hill and the Massachusetts State House.
Please note: the order in which sites are visited may vary to suit city traffic
