Suggestions for Monument near Downtown Boston, Boston

Brenden C. • June 23, 2019Scenic but small

Alex • June 30, 2014The bathrooms in the basement of the visitor center/gift shop (first floor) are among the cleanest in the city, tourists don't know about them, local secret!

Kevin M. • August 9, 2013Such a very powerful and chilling monument to visit. Seeing the numbers as the steam rises up puts the impact of this horrid event into perspective and makes clear why we must never forget.

Kaitlin • January 19, 2016It's not in the common or the public garden; it's actually across the street. Don't miss it, though, if you love Poe! Be sure to take a close look, too, more than meets the eye at first glance.
