On your Freedom Trail Walking Tour, you’re going to have to keep your eyes peeled. For one thing, you’ll be walking through the heart of Downtown Boston, always be watchful of traffic, but also, you’re going to want to keep an eye on the sidewalk to make sure you’re following the Freedom Trail’s markings!
Like any other hiking trail, the Freedom Trail is marked. A red line, either painted or made with vertically-facing red bricks on the sidewalk, marks the path you should follow from site to site as you walk the Freedom Trail. This iconic red marking has been the symbol of the Freedom Trail for as long as it’s existed and makes for practical, eye-catching marking that visitors can easily follow. However, if you choose to use a group or self-guided walking tour, your trip through Downtown Boston will be even more accessible.
