The Old North Church towers in the North End of Boston. Tip for first timers: you can walk down certain streets and obtain a better photograph than standing right next to the old Church. Different streets give you different angles. I believe this is pretty much a required destination if you visit Boston as a tourist.

This place is very cool. The church has some great history and sits in a great part of the North area. You can get a great picture of this steeple from the Paul Revere statue just in front of it. It has a lot of great area to hangout and eat a packed lunch if you wanted. I enjoyed my time here and the little history posters that tell you the importance of the building and its history. Its close to the Paul revere house and a cool place to see if touring Boston. Very beautiful place.

Good stop along the freedom trail. The church has a lot of history and the guides provide a nice overview. Believe it was $8 per person to get in. The church ‘boxes’ (see photo) were pretty interesting and overall worth the stop and was nice to take a break along the freedom trail. Nice bathrooms and friendly staff.

Very interesting place indeed, however be careful of the vending-machine justice warriors that reside within the crypts. Blast em on sight! Ad Victorium!

Pretty cool Place. But, dont go into the basement. I went there and some lady named Glory or something like that pointed a Minigun at me and this dude in a white t-shirt somehow knew who I was.

Great location, everyone was friendly, just make sure to bring some stimpaks.

Great place to visit. So much history in one place and the staff are all very friendly and eager to answer your questions.

Very nice old church, but unlike all the others Ive visited here in Boston, you must buy a ticket to enter. While this isnt that big of a deal, the staff was not really helpful and didnt seem to want to answer any questions. Plus there really is nothing more to the tour other than the church and you cannot enter the steeple.There appeared to be some sort of chocolate store or museum but I had already turned in my ticket before I realized you needed it to enter. The gentleman at the ticket booth do not mention this and simply directed me to the church. The directions simply were not clear, the staff was not particularly helpful, and all in all the visit was less than satisfying.

Such a charming spot in the heart of the old city of Boston. Love visiting this historic spot and taking friends from out of town to see it. Beautiful exterior and peaceful interior. Would love to take an official tour some day. Bathrooms conveniently located next door.

Currently closed due to the pandemic it’s still worth visiting if you’re a tourist to Boston.

This is the famous One if by land, two if by sea church. The tower is tremendous and could be seen for a very long distance. Inside see the walked pews (walked to retain heat) and the choir church organ (behind the organ is access to the tower where two revolutionaries went with their lanterns in 1775). See also the now bricked-up side window where they escaped.

Simple yet worthwhile place to visit. Interesting placards and signs let you in on a unique historical perspective of both Boston and our colonial era. Wont take long to walk through it, but youll leave with a greater appreciation of our nations origin.

Nice place in fallout 4, many ghouls, all like i prefer

The Old North Church (suggested donation $3 per person) is a national historic landmark which you can visit as part of your Freedom Trail sightseeing in downtown Boston. Opening Hours are 9am to 6pm (during October 2015) daily.Built in 1723, the church was constructed in the style of Christopher Wrens many church projects in London. However its is most famous for its association with historical event of Paul Reveres Ride in April 1775. Here he instructed fellow patriots to hand two lanterns in the steeple to warn militia in nearby Charlestown that the British forces were arriving.From the outside of the church, you can view the famous steeple where the lantern was hung during Paul Reveres Ride. If there is nothing else that interests you about the church itself, seeing the steeple and thinking of the events that occurred here in 1775 at the dawn of the American Revolution.Within the Old North Church, you will find pew boxes, procured by families for worship over the centuries. There are fewer information cards within the congregation hall compared to Kings Chapel but the interior is in well preserved condition, making it a nice look-see but not critical if youve visited other churches on the Freedom Trail and are pressed for time.Overall, this is a must-see attraction for those with particular interest in early American history. Those taking in the Freedom Trail attractions will want to make a stop here as well.Note: Not far away is the Paul Revere Mall where you can see a statue of Revere riding on horse. That is nice thing to see before or after a visit to Old North Church depending on which direction you are following on the Freedom Trail.

Very interesting historical site. Pay the extra $2 to go up to the bell ringing room but bring your climbing shoes. Its a steep and narrow staircase.

Neat historical stop. A bit pricey but there’s a presentation a few times an hour which is great. You can’t see everything without buying the extended tour though.

I highly recommend touring the old church if visiting Boston. I also recommend paying the small amount for the “behind the scenes” tour which will take you up to where the bells are rung and through the crypt below. It is exhilarating and humbling to stand in a place where so much history and well known people have been present. The church itself is beautiful. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, articulate and exuded a pure passion for the past. Don’t forget to tour the chocolate shop next door for some colonial chocolate!

Nice old church you know

Attended a wedding here in January. It was a very nice time and the church was very pretty.

I joined the tour and it was super interesting. This was a great tour, the staffs were super friendly and interesting to hear the stories back in the old days!

From a historical perspective it doesnt get much better than this. However, the price of admission for the tour was not worth it. The speaker looked like a high schooler who was reading from a script and did not speak with any personality. They use the word gardens very loosely.

Great history here.This was basically the Rich persons ChurchEach booth is paid for annually.The organ is first pure American made.The 4 angels are from a pirate ship which were stolen.Bust is most likeness of any photos of president.

Its a really small church. It isnt particularly beautiful inside. The historians inside are cool and will talk to you as long as you want but not even they can save this place from being in actuality rather irrelevant.Save your money. Take a photo on the outside. Look up the Longfellow poem on your phone and call it good.

Cool piece of history. I remember watching the movie National Treasure when the father talks about Old North Church to give the bad guys a fake clue as to where the treasure could be. It was pretty cool seeing it in real life. Just follow the Freedom Trail and you will get there. The streets around there have that old time feeling as they are narrow and have old sidewalks. Definitely something to see when youre in the Boston area. They ask for a $3 dollar donation when you go in but it is not required to enter.

Hosts inside with historical knowledge answered questions. Note the Wardens pew and stick used to keep congregation alert. Read brochure from ticket stand to see other areas included in ticket price. Discounts available for some holders of Old Town Trolley passes, seniors, military. Tour the Boston Tea Party museum First...fantastic presentation by actors, involves we tourists, puts things in excellent perspective. Fun day. Even though we learn in school a bit of this history, we learned much more on the tours.

I skipped the paid tour as I thought this was just another church. Then I read the tour includes a crypt below. My loss. lolThe park behind this church was more interesting to me personally.

I got turned around in the basement and some lady pointed a minigun at me. Overall, A very interesting experience

Beautiful church with great passive info opportunities, but I was VERY disappointed with the tour. The guide seemed rude and apathetic and more interested in making snarky remarks than encouraging a love of history in our group. I was not impressed with him or the girl who ended our tour by speed-reading through a well-written account of the Churchs history. She also seemed disinterested and apathetic. I hope they can improve their interpreter team for the better.

Such an important historical sight and a must see on the Freedom Trail. The church is beautiful. Its neat to see the cloistered pews and raised pulpit. Definitely a neat place to explore and catch little details.

Amazing piece of history. If you are visiting Boston on holiday or for any reason at all stop by for a second to take in the history and the beautiful surroundings. The building itself dates back hundreds of years.

A nice place to visit along Bostons historic Freedom Trail. Its almost 300 years old and is historically significant for military and political, and not religious, reasons. We liked its colorful history as much as its beautiful interior. Free admission.

A very classic and ionic landmark of American history. The Old North Church is beautiful and well, old. The staff are nice and they offer a paid tour of the crypts beneath the church. Also for some reason I saw a wild turkey running around outside. The church is free with a suggested donation. Hope this helps!

Very important piece of historical facts

Loved visiting the church from which the lanterns were hung that set Paul Revere on his ride to Americas independence in the 1700s! The docent explanation of this historic site brought it all to life and is a must see when visiting Boston!

Not to be missed by anyone visiting Boston. Did you know you can attend a service there? Incredible staff and the vicar (Ellie) is a treasure. Had hoped to attend a service there but hung out with family instead. If you cant visit, at least, drive there. Its a stunning site and was at one time the highest point in Boston.

Very cool to be in a place where so much history happened! The workers are all very knowledgeable and I enjoyed every minute

Very cool to see this historic landmark. Gift shop was closed but they let me look upstairs.

It was truly amazing to walk I to that church. So much of it has been preserved. There is a really cool tour of the crypts available too. I highly recommend visiting the North end of Boston and especially the Old North Church.

Great place to learn more about Bostons history (and an extension would be of Americas origins). Loved learning about Paul Revere and the people behind the American Revolution. Lovely interior, would definitely recommend as a stop along the Freedom Trail.

Beautiful piece of history to discover with family! Would recommend anyone to go visit

The church is beautiful, the only place Ive ever seen box pews. The tower and crypt tour is fascinating.

This place is very cool the church has some great history and sits in a great part of the North area. You can get a great picture of this temple from the Paul Revere statue just in front of it you, enjoyed much time here and the little history posters that tell you the importance of the building and its history.

Very interesting Church that marked Paul Reveres ride. Go inside and check it out. Its definitely worth the time to do so.This church, and other areas in the North End of Boston are worth seeing if youre attending a concert or sporting event at TD Garden and have chosen to park in the North End.This predominantly Italian part of Boston has many great restaurants to choose from. Its also within easy walking distance to TD Garden.

Thankfully it’s cheap to get in. Definitely wait to hear the talk. It’s about 15 minutes and very interesting.

This is not a National Park Site. It’s $8 for an adult to go inside the church. $10 if you want an actual tour. There aren’t any plaques or anything to read inside the building so you don’t get much without the tour. Just look around the outside and move on down the Freedom Trail.

I cant wait to get back up there

Beautiful historic place to visit. The buildings all around are beautiful too.

It was nice 8 dollars for adults and 4 dollars for kids to enter includes a chocolate making demo and tour in building.

My family enjoyed roaming around this beautiful church. They do not charge but ask for a donation.

Very interesting. Take the behind the scenes tour when you are there.

Visited this very spot where the picture was taken. Wall plaques adorn the wall of this park explaining in great detail the many historic figures that lived in the North End and were instrumental in part of this countries freedom. I did not into the Old North Church as a service was going on. What a lovely spot, easy to find, clean and steep in history. My only regret is that I didnt take pictures of the plaques to re-read later.

Beautiful old church with amazing history. Its worth a visit.

I went to the left of the church and discovered another courtyard that was quiet and contemplative.

Great place to visit, although, i was quite disappointed that there were no railroad agents in the basement....

Beautiful place and interesting facts!!

Wasnt greeted by a bald man with sunglasses. Very disappointed

Amazing historical site, but have to pay to go in.

Took an Uber from the airport straight to the old north church to have a nice walk thru the north end. Walk up the street a little once you get out of the Uber to see the full picture of the old north church where Paul revere hung the lights And go for a nice walk thru little Italy to Hanover street.

The Old North Church is, of course, historically famous but also interesting since the inside is still set up the way churches were nearly 300 years ago. Make sure you walk around and look at things. We did notice that someone was talking to those inside as we entered so we just missed out on the little tour information they make every so often. There was also a couple of boxes for donations near the entrance. The neighborhood still has an old feel to it as does most of the North End portion of Boston. Dont miss this church, the Revere home, the old nearby cemetery, and the rest of the North End.

Such rich history! A must see when in the area.

A great place and a must see!

THE place to visit in boston! Very beautiful on the inside. They have an informative story every 20 minutes inside the church. There is an admission fee though.

Really APPRECIATE that THIS church is forever fortunate in having AWESOME great features about it. Thank you God and I am blessed to have been in this church. AWWOMDERESOMELY BLESSES AND A

A great historical visit. I stayed here a.long time reading and just feeling the history.

While the history of the church fantastic, architecture impressive, and the grounds well maintained, I cant say I really enjoyed my experience here.The fact that they now charge 8 dollars per person to enter is rather insane. First off, this is not worth 5 bucks to see. The inside, while amazing, is just not worth paying for. Any average Catholic church looks the same. In all honesty it was just as busy even with charging to get in, so there are no pros to this new change.I recommend this place to everyone to stop at and look at, make sure to get a photo of Paul Revere on the back. However I dont recommend actually going in to anyone, its a waste of time and money.

Lot of history. Worth a visit if your in the area.

WWG1WGA

Just beautiful. A must see. Yes its hot in the summer with no AC, but was well worth it

Really neat to go into this old church and see how they use to have it set-up.

As expected... historic..... well preserved.

This was a very nice historic church to view.

The fees here are out of hand. Very poor value to pay to go inside. Very similar to another church on the freedom trail with only a small optional donation. Almost what I would call a tourist trap. If they simply charged $1 per person then more people could afford to see it and they might collect the same fees. This literally a 10-20 minute stop if you are walking the trail. Ironically the trail celebrates a fight against high taxes and fees and now it is full of them.

Beautiful church!! The neighborhood is very nice

We absolutely loved our Behind the Scenes tour! The Behind the Scenes tour includes the church, its bell tower, and the crypts that lie beneath. Our guide was Doug. He was so friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Boston!

Checked out the church and did the $2 tour. Loved it learning a lot of interesting history and it was fun to learn about the church.WARNING:The crypt area is very small, appearing fragile with really worn bricks, concrete, etc. on the wall and feels like a crawl space you can stand in. IT IS NOT JUST PASSING THROUGH. We spent 15-20 minutes down there. Super interesting but also somewhat creepy and uncomfortable.I would do the tour again, however, would have appreciated it more with a heads up about the crypt experience prior to getting a ticket.. or the option for a quick walk through and the tour info before or after the crypt.

Did the behind the scenes tour to go up to the bell tower and down in the crypt. Our guide, Spencer, was incredibly helpful and informative. He kept the pace of the tour good and interesting. Was really surprised that the tour was focused more on the bells of the church than the history of the revolution, BUT I was pleasantly surprised by the information provided. My son was a little bummed that we did not get to go up into the steeple - but thats dangerous and not practical. I dont remember seeing that limitation before we got the tickets however so it seems like you should be going up there until you actually get to the tour and then they tell you that you dont actually go up all the way. Its still worth a tour, however, as you do learn a lot of things you didnt know that you wanted to know.

A must see for history bluffs. Make sure to stopb6 tu he chocolatier if you like chocolate at all. They have some of the best Ive ever tasted. I only wish they sold the prepared hot chocolate the give out as samples instead of just the mix.

A must see if you are in Boston. Worth the price of $8 for admission. Check out Paul Reveres House, a short distance walk from there.

The pace itself is not very special but the history, the walk, the surroundings, all are amazing.

Loved the tour. Pay the extra for the crypt tour. Loved learning about the history.

Be whole neighborhood was so beautiful. Very Old England feel. Must go!

The Old North Church was built in 1723 and I found it very pretty from the outside.

Nice to see, gotta buy tickets to get in

What a beautiful and historic landmark. There is a small fee to enter the church. It is reasonably priced and the staff is knowledgeable. We also took the Behind the Scenes tour. This took us to the bell ringing room and down into the crypts. Highly recommend it! Walking the same steps as those hundreds of years ago is priceless.

Historical place. Nice walk

Absolute waste of money!!! After purchasing our tickets we asked where to go and the man in the booth grunted and pointed to the side of the building. The only thing there was a garden and a group of people for a tour. We werent allowed on the tour...so we go inside...its just a basic church...you dont actually see anything or can do anything. But oh yeah, you can see a garden on the other side of the building. NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG

Was not actually roving with feral ghouls. Very disappointed. Had to leave my laser rifle at the entrance.

A great piece of history to stop along the freedom trail. Old north church is free for the public to tour, but we opted into doing the very reasonable mausoleum tour of old north church and it was great. The tour went through the historic mausoleums in the church basement, as well as the more modern version offered today. I’d highly recommend this tour our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions.

Railroad hasnt arrived yet I checked place is still cool but I did see some ghouls. in the lower level. Im not sure if this was intentional but it scared me a good bit. Great scones though.

Absolutely wonderful. Ive always wanted to visit here and the tour was great. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaged.

Excellent sight to see while on vacation!!

Very interesting place to visit. You can see the church itself, different gardens and a chocolate shop.The only weird thing was that they presented their traditional chocolate, let us try and then immediately prepared for closing. So I had no opportunity to buy some chocolate and go to another shop for it.

This is not worth the money! If you pay $8 you get to see just the first floor of the small church. It’s cool to see the pews but I really doubt it’s worth traveling to see. We paid the extra $2 each to see the bell tower and crypt and this was a definite waste of money. We laughed that we just wasted $20 on that.

So beautiful, and historic, really a must see!

A beautiful church and very historical. There were a lot of people there but it was still peaceful. Theres a lot around it to see, too. Its on the Freedom Trail, which is definitely worth walking. Its right next to a Paul Revere park, the North End, and some other cool little places.

A lovely historical site.

Awesome history and really neat craftsmanship

The girl at the ticket booth told me I would have the time to do the Behind the Scenes tour then the Bones and Burial one. However, when I finished the Behind the Scenes tour, the BnB already left to the Burying Ground.So I ran there to join the group, but they were already done with that part of the tour.So we went back to the church, only to visit the same crypt we visited during the Behind the scenes tour.

Our first stop on the Freedom Trail! We were able to buy tickets for three of the official sites on the Freedom Trail here, which includes admission to Old South Meeting House, the Old State House, and Paul Reveres House. These tickets never expire, so you can save them and come back at another time if you want.The Old South Meeting House is a meeting house for the Puritans to worship. It was the largest building in Boston at the time, and it is most famous for being the organizing point for the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773. On that day, 5,000 colonists met at the Old South Meeting House to decide what to do with the taxable tea sitting at Griffins Wharf. After failing to have the tea sent back to England, Samuel Adams stated, This meeting can do nothing more to save the country. These words were rumored to be a secret signal to the Sons of Liberty to walk down to Griffins Wharf and dump the tea into the harbor, marking the start of the Boston Tea Party.As you can see, there is just so much history and colonial significance in this place! And the interior is really beautiful, especially since its arranged in the traditional New England meeting house style. This is definitely a must stop on the Freedom Trail

Worth going to see if you appreciate history. Its like being in a time machine. Close your eyes and imagine it being 1776
