Your 3-hour history & food walk through Boston.

America's oldest public park, since 1634. Start at the central path near the Visitor Information Center — it's the natural launch point for everything that follows.

The 23-karat gold dome you can see from half the city. Free tours run weekdays — but the building itself, designed by Charles Bulfinch and finished in 1798, is the real story. Stand at the front and you're looking at the architecture that defined a young republic's public buildings for the next century.

Cannoli filled to order — that's the rule. There's a long-running debate about Modern vs. Mike's across the street; if you're picking one, Modern fills them when you ask, which is what cannoli should be.

The oldest house in downtown Boston, built around 1680. Revere bought it almost a century later. The interior is small but the construction itself — exposed timber framing, low ceilings, narrow stairs — is the artifact.

"Old Ironsides" — the world's oldest commissioned warship still afloat, launched 1797. Active-duty Navy sailors give the tours. The hull is reinforced live oak; cannonballs reportedly bounced off it during the War of 1812.

You finish on the water. Long Wharf has been Boston's commercial waterfront since 1715 — the customs house, the harbor cruises, the ferries to the islands all run from here. A natural place to end, with food and drinks within a block.
