Cheers Beacon Hill Bar &
Restaurant
Fans of the popular American
comedy series "Merry Company", also known as "Let's Be
Healthy" or "Cheers", will definitely want to visit the Boston
bar, where the action of the TV show unfolded. However, to fulfill their
desire, they will have to go to two different places. The bar, whose facade
appeared in the opening credits of the series, was actually a pub called Bull
& Finch, which opened in the Beacon Hill area in 1969. In 2002, the pub was
officially renamed Cheers Beacon Hill. The interior of this institution has
never been used for filming. Since 2001, a copy of the serial interior can be
seen in the historic building of the city market Fanail Hall. In both institutions,
you can buy souvenirs in the theme of the famous series, which received 28 Emmy
Awards.
Boston Bay Islands and
Boston Harbor Islands Recreation Area
The islands off the coast of
Boston Bay are a wonderful place where there is a lot of sun and sea. 13 of the
34 islands are included in the National Recreation Area. In addition to
wellness activities and various outdoor activities, many Boston Islands (for
example, Lovells Island) are a great place for camping - there are many
beautiful beaches and hiking trails passing through dunes and forest areas.
Lovers of historical sights will be interested in visiting Fort Warren on
George Island, where prisoners were taken during the Civil War. On the same
island you can see one of the two oldest lighthouses in America. No less
interesting is Paddox Island, where the ancient military fort Andrews and the
bunker of the Second World War are located.
New England Aquarium
The New England Aquarium is located on Boston's
Central Pier, a short walk from the city's Rose Kennedy Greenway Linear Park.
There are numerous species of marine animals - from exotic jellyfish and rays
to playful fur seals and penguins. The main attraction of this aquarium, which
opened in 1969, is a huge tank with a volume of 760,000 liters, located in the
atrium of the main building. The giant aquarium is an exact copy of the amazing
habitat - the coral reefs of the Caribbean Sea. A spiral staircase around the
aquarium allows viewers to view sharks, barracudas, sea turtles and schools of
small fish up close. Even special whale watching excursions are organized. At
the aquarium, a modern IMAX cinema (in a separate building) is opened, where
films of marine themes with high image quality are shown.
Museum of Fine Arts
The Boston Museum of Fine Arts is one of the
largest in North America. His collection includes more than 450,000 works of
art. The museum is so huge that it can take a whole day to get acquainted with
its exhibits! Particular attention is drawn to the richest collection of
paintings by famous French impressionist artists; magnificent Classical
collection with numerous frescoes and sculptures from a villa in the Bottaro
district, Pompeii; and collections of Ancient Oriental and Japanese ceramics.
In addition to permanent exhibitions, the museum regularly hosts interesting
thematic exhibitions.
Boston Community Garden
This wonderful English-style landscape park was
created in 1634, and later modified in the Victorian era with the assistance of
the then, first created, Department of Parks and Recreation of Boston. At that
time, 80 species of plants typical of the city and its surroundings were
presented in the park. Bright floral motifs were created using the latest
methods of hybridization and reproduction, which eventually led to the need to
import exotic trees and plants. This park is one of the favorite places for
family holidays of citizens. Here you can ride on an artificial lake on an
ancient catamaran-swan (they were built more than a century ago) or just walk,
admiring the fountains and beautiful trees. After a long walk, it is pleasant
to relax on one of the many benches of the park.
Fenway Park
Fenway Park is the home arena of the famous Boston Red Sox baseball team
since 1912. In addition, this stadium regularly hosts Major League Baseball
games. Fenway Park is one of Boston's favorite attractions for fans of baseball
and the Boston Red team. A distinctive feature of Fenway Park - one of the few
old stadiums left in the United States - the presence of a green wall, which is
the left border of the playing field. Fans gave her the nickname "Green
Monster". In addition, the size of the field is less than the average
value. These features make the outcome of games on the field of Fenway Park
difficult to predict. Even if you are not a fan of baseball, this stadium is
definitely worth a visit to plunge into the atmosphere of the roaring stands
and watch the customs of the emotional fans of this national American game.
