A 2.5-mile red-brick line through downtown Boston connecting 16 historic sites, from the State House to Paul Revere's house to the USS Constitution.

Know before you go

The line is painted or laid in brick the whole way: just follow it on foot, no map needed, though the official app adds context at each stop.
Budget 2-3 hours to walk it end to end without stopping; a full day if you tour the historic houses and churches along the way.
The National Park Service runs free ranger-led walking tours of the downtown half: worth booking ahead in summer.
It ends across the river in Charlestown at the USS Constitution and Bunker Hill Monument: pace yourself for that last stretch.
