Planning
Where Does the Freedom Trail Start?
Find the starting point at Boston Common, plus transit and parking tips.
Boston Common Visitors Center
The trail officially begins at Boston Common, near the Visitors Center at 139 Tremont Street. The Park Street MBTA station (Red and Green lines) is steps away.
Can I start elsewhere?
Yes. Many people start at Faneuil Hall or even walk it in reverse from Charlestown. Starting at the Common keeps the stories in chronological-ish order.
