1. Take a stroll through the Beacon Hill neighborhood<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you recently moved into the <\/span>Beacon Hill<\/span><\/a> neighborhood, you\u2019ll quickly find out that it\u2019s one of the most picturesque neighborhoods in the Boston<\/a>. Whether you\u2019re an amateur photographer or simply enjoy taking in historic architecture, walking around this historic neighborhood is a great free activity in Boston.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Strolling through the affluent neighborhood of Beacon Hill is a charming way to spend the morning in Boston,\u201d says Brittany Sawyer of the <\/span>Travel by Brit<\/span><\/a> blog. \u201cHowever, you can\u2019t miss the chance to take a photo at Acorn Street\u2014the most photographed street in the USA. Acorn Street is located between Mt. Vernon Street and Chestnut Street in Beacon Hill, and is beloved for its cobblestone pathways, gorgeous greenery, and historic buildings that embody New England charm. Acorn Street gets busy quickly, especially in the warm summer and crisp fall months, so arrive early to take stunning pictures without tourists in the background.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Lawn<\/p>\n

2. Visit Lawn on D for games and more<\/span><\/h2>\n

Lawn on D is a popular outdoor event space in the <\/span>Waterfront District<\/span><\/a> of Boston. With room for over 4,000 people, there is ample room for groups of all sizes. But while this space is best known for hosting private events, locals looking for free things to do in Boston can also enjoy it without paying a dime.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHands down, my favorite thing to do in Boston is visit Lawn on D in South Boston,\u201d says Christina Skeldon of <\/span>Macaroni Kid South Shore Boston<\/span><\/a>, a local guide for families in the Boston area. \u201cWith lawn games like cornhole and bocce ball and their unique solar-powered ring-shaped swings, it is fun for the whole family and open morning through night seasonally. The best part, all of it is free. They do have food and beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) to purchase and fun pop-up events all season long.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Isabella<\/p>\n

3. Check out the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum<\/span><\/h2>\n

Museums can be a great way to get to know a new city, especially when they include local exhibits that provide insight into the city\u2019s history. A visit to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is a perfect example of a budget-friendly activity in Boston that\u2019s also educational.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum may be the most infamous institution in Boston, following the still-unsolved art heist in 1990, but beyond the headlines, this gorgeous historic building is home to some of the finest works of art in the world,\u201d says local blogger Kate Andrews of <\/span>Fashionably Kate & Co.<\/span><\/a> \u201cIt is a must-visit during your time in the city. If you\u2019re looking to save on museum admission, plan your visit for the first Thursday of the month. On these so-called \u201cFirst Thursdays,\u201d everyone gets in for free after 3 p.m. The museum stays open until 9 pm, so you\u2019ll have plenty of time to wander through its hallowed halls. Don\u2019t forget to take a walk through the museum\u2019s gorgeous courtyard while you\u2019re there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Take in some local art at The Mural Project<\/span><\/h2>\n

Murals are great because they showcase the work of local artists, add a vibrant splash of color to any neighborhood, and you can enjoy them for free. If you\u2019re looking for something to do in Boston that doesn\u2019t cost a dime, check out The Mural Project, a network of murals and street art scattered around the Museum of Fine Arts. According to <\/span>Darryl’s Corner Bar & Kitchen<\/span><\/a>, looking at The Mural Project is a great free and culturally enriching activity to take in at your leisure. The artists in charge of the project, Rob \u201cProblak\u201d Gibbs and Rob Stull, are both artists-in-residence at the MFA.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Boston<\/p>\n

5. Boston Public Garden<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sometimes, the best free things to do in Boston involve simply walking around and taking in your surroundings. Boston\u2019s Public Garden was established as the county\u2019s first botanical garden in 1837. Located just west of <\/span>Downtown Boston<\/span><\/a>, it\u2019s the perfect place to escape the city’s noise and unwind after a long day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica\u2019s first public botanical garden, Bostonians and tourists alike have enjoyed walking through this beautiful sight for nearly two centuries,\u201d says Tina Wood of Trapology Boston<\/a><\/span><\/span>, a Boston escape room. \u201cIt\u2019s like a zoo for flora. Visit the many monuments and sculptures that decorate the path, or ride in a swan boat that circles the pond! No matter what, it\u2019s a beautiful breath of fresh air and greenery right in the heart of the city.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
