The Public Garden, established in 1837, holds the title of America's first public botanical garden. This beautifully landscaped garden, located adjacent to Boston Common, features Victorian-style floral patterns, exotic imported trees, and winding pathways perfect for a leisurely stroll.

Highlights include the iconic Swan Boats, which have been a beloved attraction for over a century, and the lagoon that hosts the famous swans, Romeo and Juliet.

The garden's lush setting, with its rich variety of plants and historic statues, makes it a serene escape in the heart of the city and a popular spot for weddings and relaxation. It's also a stop in the Boston Equality Trail for the park's history of being a popular gay cruising site in Boston until the 1980s.
