Discover Boston through its most iconic film and TV moments. Start at the Boston Public Garden, where Good Will Hunting fans can sit on the bench where Robin Williams and Matt Damon shared their unforgettable scene. Nearby, swan boats glide across the lake just as they did on screen, and a small plaque honors the emotional impact of that moment. Then, step into the world of Ted—find the filming spots where the talking teddy bear lounged on the grass, snap a photo by the lake, or recreate a scene on the bridge for a lighthearted memory.
Next, head to Cheers Beacon Hill, the real-life bar that inspired the legendary sitcom Cheers. Its golden sign and famous staircase are a must for photo ops. Inside, order a classic drink, explore character displays, and browse souvenirs like the iconic “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” mug. In just two hours, you’ll walk through movie history and feel the pulse of Boston’s on-screen charm.

Located in the heart of Boston, the Boston Public Garden is more than just a scenic escape—it’s a memorable film landmark. This lush, historic park famously appeared in Good Will Hunting, where Robin Williams and Matt Damon shared a heartfelt conversation on a lakeside bench—now marked with a commemorative plaque. The garden also features in Ted, with its open lawns and Swan Lake setting the stage for the plush bear’s quirky adventures. Visitors can ride the century-old swan boats, stroll through blooming tulips in spring, or reenact favorite movie moments against a backdrop of natural beauty. Adjacent to Boston Common and supported by a vibrant community, the garden blends cinematic nostalgia with timeless charm, making it a must-visit for film lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.

Across from the Boston Public Garden in the charming Beacon Hill neighborhood is the Beacon Hill Pub, which—originally founded in 1969 as the Bull & Finch Pub—rose to international fame as the inspiration and exterior filming location for the beloved NBC sitcom Cheers. Its iconic front entrance served as the memorable backdrop where characters like Sam, Diane, and Norm entered the bar “where everybody knows your name.” Today, visitors can relive the nostalgia of the show, snap photos at the famous staircase, and enjoy a drink or bite to eat in a place that’s become a true piece of television history.
