The area

Address

Neighbourhood: Downtown

The largest area of the city, Downtown is rich with historical and iconic sites in Boston. Stroll through one of Boston’s most famous green spaces, the Boston Public Gardens, check out and make way for duckling statues, picnic under a beautiful tree overlooking the pond, and walk over the iconic footbridge where, during summer time, you will catch a swan boat toting children and eager tourists through the pond. Have your camera ready to capture its peaceful beauty in the middle of a bustling city. Continue on through the Gardens and take in some open green space at the Boston Common, where you can spend time throwing a frisbee, sitting on a park bench, or, in the winter time, skating on the frog pond. Head north from the end of the Common to see the golden dome of the State House, and travel through government center to Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall, both a historic and popular destination worth a quick visit for a first time to Boston. Head to Long Wharf to visit the Aquarium, or catch a boat to Charlestown or even Cape Cod.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Walked past the Tremont Temple Baptist Church along Park Street which had a very nice facade design and architecture.

If you can get inside, this is a very beautiful building

Apr 2018 • Friends

On a cold mid-week winters morning we spotted this interesting building, on closer inspection we found it to be The Tremont Temple Baptist Church. Re-built in 1896 by Boston architect Clarence Blackall, after a couple fires in1827 damage the much smaller Temple. It was designed to be self-supporting with a large auditorium and retail shops on the ground-floor, and offices on the upper floors. The auditorium has hosted many concerts and recitals, Charles Dickens read from "A Christmas Carol" and "The Pickwick Papers" on his first stop on his 1867–68 tour of the United States. British composer Benjamin Britten's opera The Burning Fiery Furnace was shown here in 1985.
TIP: Unless there is an event Sunday is the only day that you can see inside
