Famous for everything from the Red Sox and Paul Revere to Cheers and clam "chowdah," Boston is a popular destination for so many reasons. Part history lesson, part modern metropolis, the Hub offers attractions to suit every taste and interest.

Here is a list of some of Boston's most popular attractions:

• Freedom Trail
  A red line on the sidewalk takes you on a self guided tour of Revolutionary sites. \The tour is approximately 2 1/2 miles long and begins at America's oldest public park, the Boston Common, and ends at the Bunker Hill monument.
  
  
• Paul Revere House
  This is the house from which Paul Revere set out on his midnight ride in 1775 to warn the patriots that the British were coming.
  
  
• Old North Church
  It was from the steeple of this church that the hanging of "two" lanterns signaled Paul Revere that the British were coming by boat and not by foot.
