Old North Church 193 Salem Street, Boston, MA 02113

"While I did not tour the inside of the Old North Church, I enjoyed my walk around the perimeter just as much. The steeple of the Old North Church can be seen at quite a distance, framed between two lines of tall trees. A statue of Paul Revere is positioned in the foreground, aligned with the church's steeple. This is the famous steeple that Robert Newman and vestryman Capt. John Pulling, Jr. climbed to signal Paul Revere's message that the "British were coming" by sea. If you're visiting Boston, this spot is one of many you will encounter walking the Freedom Trail. It is well worth your time."

"Situated in the North End of Boston, this is a wonderfully historic church which is well worth a visit! Most famous for its links to Paul Revere and the Midnight Ride, it also has a really interesting history and crypt too. I think more signs have gone up within the church which I found really interesting, there's a lot more context about the parishioners. Definitely have a good look inside and don't miss the window at the front of the church with the lantern hanging up, there's a great story to it! There is an admission charge to enter and there are also tour options too. There's a little outdoor booth by the entrance to buy tickets but if there's no one there, you can buy in the gift shop. Winter is not too bad, but I would say in the summer months- crypt tours especially do sell out so it's worth pre booking online if you're on a tight schedule! There has been a shakeup of the tours (I'm sure I remember doing combined crypt/bell tower tours!) but now they are separated out and are $10 each including general admission to the main church area. The crypt has recently reopened after renovation and I will say, the tour I took today was the best crypt tour I've done at the Old North. The guide was brilliant and there were lots of snippets of information about what had been found during the renovation too. If you are interested in the New England burial grounds and the traditional grave motifs, Copps Hill is close by too!"

"We had a great experience here, we just paid for the basic audio tour and loved it. It’s about 40 mins of total listening, and nice to walk around. We booked our tickets in advance and they were good for anytime that day."

"The new audio guide is really good! It’s clear the church put lots of time and effort into researching and creating it. They let us store our luggage as well so we could easily enjoy our time there. Very helpful staff!"

"Like many other Boston attractions, this church has an imposing story to tell. Admission is not free. Its white interior is beautiful, and its outdoor garden a wonder to pause and reflect on the different roles of each actor in the history of this city and country."
