fenway park

You can’t visit Boston without seeing its most famous place of worship. No, I’m not talking about Old North Church—I’m referring to Fenway Park. For those who have visited before, it’s obvious that baseball borders on religion in Boston, and there’s no better place to witness this fervor than this baseball stadium, one of the oldest in the country. Opened in 1912, the old field has seen seven world championships—almost half of which, famously, happened this century. Even if you can’t swing a ticket to a game to see the famous Green Monster, the Lone Red Seat (which marks the longest home run ever hit in the park), and to try a Fenway Frank, don’t worry. Yawkey Way, the street the stadium is on, is as historic as the stadium itself, and is always bustling during game day.
