USS Constitution
3 savesRecommendation by Lemi
We end our pilgrimage on The Freedom Trail at the USS Constitution. Climb aboard this historic warship (called a frigate), where the masts loom high into the sky and the canons still look poised for battle. Before being docked at the harbor, the frigate traveled the West Indies (Caribbean), Brazil, and Africa. It fought in a war against pirates, where it earned a legendary reputation. Instead of being pierced by the cannon balls hurled against it, the heavy ammo bounced right off its sides. Our friend from earlier, Paul Revere, also had a hand in its construction as he smithed the copper fastenings. Now, the USS Constitution is a water-faring attraction that lends a peek into life at sea.

Intramuros
Without having to drive far, Intramuros allows you to enjoy yourself in a rich history hidden behind huge walls and cobblestone street that have been destroyed, preserved, and rebuilt many times. By visiting Bahay Tsinoy, Casa Manila, or the Distileria Limtuaco Museum, the country's oldest distillery, you may find yourself in the tactile traces of diverse cultures that influenced Intramuros, such as American, Spanish, and Chinese.
