Piers

Charlestown's Piers provide stunning views of the city and Boston Harbor. Overlooking the harbor, one can see the planes landing and taking off from Boston's Logan Airport. Of special interest is the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat. The waterfront also features an hours long tour of the city, with views of Independence Park, Bunker Hill Monument, and the USS Constitution Museum. All this is set against a backdrop of stately homes, cobblestone streets, and centuries old churches. Walking along the pier reveals panoramic views towards the sea and its maritime activity, with the skyline of downtown Boston in the distance. A few notable restaurants are located conveniently near the pier. All of these combine to make the Piers in Charlestown a must visit destination worthy of its place in history.
