Boston. A historic and spooky city.
Boston Massachusetts has a lot to offer. It is the subject of our Halloween podcast because it appears to have endless ghost stories.
Cruisers are likely to be dropped off at Quincy Market by the shuttle bus. Everything is nearby. The market is great for fast food, and there is a tribute bar to Cheers. The real one Jean takes you to later in the film.
Faneuil Hall, the Freedom Trail museum and lecture centre is through the market in the next building. The wharf is in the other direction. In our video guide, Jean eventually goes both ways, along the Wharf to the Tea Party Museum, and she starts the Freedom Trail before being distracted with finding the real Cheers bar.

Jean takes you to the visitor's centre in Faneuil Hall run by The National Park Service. She then starts you on the Freedom Trail which is a 2.5-mile-long walk that passes by 16 locations. It is marked out largely with a winding brick line. It was the idea of local journalist William Schofield in 1951, and by 1953, 40,000 people were walking the trail annually. She dives off and finds Cheers then takes you along the Wharf for a very rounded film of Boston. Note, Boston is the subject of our Halloween Podcast (S1E03) because it is famous for its ghosts and ghoulies!
