6. Explore the Irish Heritage Trail

There’s more to Boston’s Irish history than green beer and the St. Patrick’s Day parade. Take a self-guided tour through Downtown Boston and discover the city’s rich Irish past. Stops include the Boston Irish Famine Memorial, the Kevin White Statue (left), and the State House.

Maps are available at the visitor’s centers throughout the city as well as online at www.irishheritagetrail.com.
