Boston Emerald Necklace Bike Tour

Bike through Boston’s most beautiful green spaces on the enchanting Emerald Necklace

Designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, the Emerald Necklace connects Boston’s most beautiful parks, gardens, waterways, and historic neighborhoods, offering an unforgettable and serene cycling experience.

Beginning in downtown Boston, your scenic bike tour takes you to the iconic Boston Common and Public Garden before following the beautiful Charles River Esplanade.
