🍁Fall in Boston | The Most European City in the U.S
Day 1️⃣ Took an early morning train from New York to Boston—a 4.5-hour ride. In the afternoon, visited the Boston Public Garden and the adjacent Boston Common, which is also the starting point of the Freedom Trail. Walked the Freedom Trail—a 4 km red-brick path connecting 16 historical sites that tell the story of American history. Also explored Quincy Market, a famous shopping spot with grand columns and a triangular roof. Strolled through Little Italy and Columbus Waterfront Park. Day 2️⃣ Rode the subway to the Museum of Fine Arts 🖼️. The collection is impressive—especially the Chinese gallery with priceless Buddhist sculptures. (Was a bit sad to miss the Weng family donation.) Ticket: $27. Walked to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum—modeled after a Venetian palace. This private museum holds over 2,500 pieces, and the garden is incredibly photogenic 🌸. Ticket: $22 (tax incl.). Continued to the reflective pool at Christian Science Plaza—a hidden gem. Sat on a bench and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. At dusk, the sunset over the Charles River was breathtaking 🌅. Lots of people jogging and biking nearby. Also spotted a small fountain and sculptures. Day 3️⃣ Took the subway to Cambridge to visit Harvard University 🎓. The academic vibe was inspiring. Took a photo with the John Harvard statue (rubbing his foot for luck 🍀). Also visited the free Harvard Art Museum. Hopped back on the subway to MIT. Went inside the Great Dome and walked the famous Infinite Corridor—where the math challenge scene from Good Will Hunting was filmed! In the afternoon, visited the Boston Public Library—the Bates Hall on the second floor is stunning. Loved the quiet scholarly atmosphere. Right across is the Trinity Church⛪, with over 2,000 sqm of magnificent murals. Ticket: $10. Ended the day walking down Newbury Street, passed by Berklee College of Music, and even stopped by Trader Joe’s for their trendy tote bag! #SceneryOnTheJourney #Travel #USATravel #BostonLife #StreetPhotography #Inspiration
