If you think big American cities are just endless concrete jungles full of cars and glass skyscrapers, Boston, USA will completely change your mind. This city on the East Coast is a true one-off, because it’s rightly nicknamed the most European city in the entire United States — something you’ll notice on your very first stroll. Instead of wide boulevards, you’ll find narrow cobbled lanes, historic brick houses, and an incredible sense of ease that greets you at every step.
The best thing about Boston, though, is its incredible compactness, because it’s probably the only major American city you can comfortably explore entirely on foot. The locals have even made it easy for you: a famous red line called the Freedom Trail runs through the whole historic centre and safely guides you through the most important milestones of American history. So pack the comfiest sneakers you own, because you’ll really put them to good use here.
Whether you’re looking forward to soaking up the university atmosphere in nearby Cambridge, or you want to admire the gorgeously coloured foliage during the famous Indian summer, this city is guaranteed to win you over. Forget about renting a car — hop on the oldest subway in America instead and set off to discover the countless cosy cafés, Italian bakeries, and beautiful parks.
TL;DR
- The Freedom Trail is an absolute must, as this four-kilometre route leads you through all the key historic sites.
- The oldest public park in the USA, Boston Common, is the perfect spot to relax and picnic on the grass.
- Across the river lies famous Cambridge, where you can’t miss a walk around the campuses of prestigious Harvard and MIT.
- Don’t bring a car into the centre — you’ll get everywhere far better and faster on foot or on the local subway, known simply as “the T”.
- In the Italian North End you’ll find the best bakeries and cafés, so be sure to stop by for the legendary cannoli.
- The most beautiful time to visit is autumn, when all of New England glows with the brilliant colours of Indian summer.
💡 Boston is a student city, so in September and during graduation season accommodation prices shoot up and availability disappears. On this map you can compare offers by neighbourhood — staying near a subway stop outside the centre works out much better, and you’re only a few minutes from the Freedom Trail.
The full destination guide: North America — guide and what to see
When to visit Boston
If you want to experience the city at its absolute best, plan your trip for September or October, because that’s when the famous Indian summer reigns. During this period the whole of New England turns incredible shades of red, orange, and yellow. This colour explosion combined with the historic brick architecture creates utterly breathtaking scenery straight out of a romantic movie. The weather is still very pleasant for long walks in these months, though the mornings can get a little chilly and call for a light jacket.
Since Boston is a huge student hub with universities like Harvard, MIT, and Boston University, there’s one big thing to keep in mind. In September thousands of students descend on the city, which brings an amazingly lively atmosphere buzzing with energy. Unfortunately, it also means significantly higher accommodation prices, so during this time you need to book well in advance. If you want to avoid the autumn peak, May and June are a great alternative, when it’s already lovely and warm and all the city parks are in full bloom.
On the other hand, I’d suggest avoiding the winter months unless you’re a true lover of frosty weather and snowdrifts. Winters here can be pretty harsh, with lots of snow, and a very strong, icy wind blows in off the ocean. This wind can make walking around the city quite unpleasant and will constantly send you looking for shelter in cafés. The summer months of July and August are fairly hot and humid, but if higher temperatures don’t bother you, the city is paradoxically a bit emptier in summer, as many locals escape to the coast for their holidays.
Where to stay in Boston
Choosing the right location is absolutely key to exploring the city, and the best strategic choice is staying right in the centre so you have everything within walking distance. Forget about commuting from distant suburbs in a rental car. The streets in the centre are narrow and one-way, and parking is astronomically expensive, so a car would be more of a nuisance. A lovely — if slightly pricier — option is one of the historic neighbourhoods like Beacon Hill or Back Bay, where you’ll sleep right in the middle of the prettiest brick lanes. Hotel prices in Boston are generally among the higher ones in the entire United States, so it really pays to book rooms through Booking.com as early as possible.
For lovers of history and traditional luxury, the absolute icon is the Omni Parker House, a stunning historic hotel sitting right on the Freedom Trail. It’s actually the longest continuously operating hotel in the USA, where Malcolm X once worked and where John F. Kennedy even proposed to his future wife, Jackie. The rooms have wonderful old-world charm and heavy drapes, and the location a short walk from Boston Common is simply unbeatable for exploring on foot.
If you prefer a more modern style and want to be in the middle of the action, a great choice is The Godfrey Hotel Boston, housed in a beautifully renovated building. You’ll find it in the bustling Downtown Crossing area, so you’ll have plenty of great restaurants and cafés around you, plus you’re just a few steps from the nearest subway station. For travellers on a slightly tighter budget, an excellent tip is the design-led The Revolution Hotel in the South End, which offers smaller but very cleverly designed rooms and a wonderful youthful vibe at more reasonable prices.
22 things to see and do in Boston
1. Freedom Trail
This is the absolute backbone of any first visit to the city, and honestly the very best way to grasp the basics of American history in a single day. It’s a roughly four-kilometre route that is marked by a bright red line right in the sidewalk, so you definitely can’t get lost on it, even without a map. The trail connects a total of sixteen of the most significant historic sites where the United States was literally shaped and where the fight for independence began.
There’s absolutely no need to worry about hiring an expensive paid guide, because you can comfortably walk the whole route on your own at your own pace. You can easily spread it over a full day, stop for coffee in the adjacent lanes, and explore the individual historic buildings in detail. Walking the trail itself costs nothing at all, though entry to a few specific museums along the way may require a ticket.
💡 Tip: Set aside at least half a day for the walk and start early in the morning at Boston Common to comfortably avoid the biggest crowds of tourists. The route then leads you through the centre and ends across the river at the Bunker Hill Monument, from where you can very conveniently return to the centre by subway.
2. Boston Common
This beautiful green space in the middle of the busy city is the oldest public park in the entire United States, founded way back in 1634. Over the centuries it has served all kinds of purposes, from a simple cattle pasture to a camp for British soldiers to a grim site of public executions. Today, thankfully, it’s a beautiful oasis of calm that also boasts a fabulous rating of 4.7 stars from almost 39,000 reviews.
It’s essentially Boston’s Central Park in a smaller, cosier form, where locals come to read, hold picnics on the grass, or simply relax. This is where the famous Freedom Trail officially begins, so you’ll also find a handy visitor centre full of maps and information. The park is huge, full of mature trees, and offers gorgeous contrasts as sleek glass skyscrapers rise right behind the green treetops.
3. Public Garden
Right next to the first park lies another green gem that, according to many, is even a touch more charming — as its high rating of 4.8 stars from nearly 19,000 visitors confirms. The Public Garden holds the title of the first public botanical garden in the USA, laid out in an ornate Victorian style. You’ll find precisely trimmed flower beds, beautiful statues, and an overall setting that feels incredibly romantic and manicured.
An absolute classic and huge icon of this park are the famous Swan Boats, which have carried visitors around the little pond continuously since 1877. It’s a lovely, if perhaps slightly kitschy, experience that families with children can’t get enough of. If you come in spring, the garden will amaze you with thousands of blooming tulips, while in autumn the trees turn the most vivid shades imaginable.
4. Acorn Street and the Beacon Hill neighbourhood
When people say Boston is the most European city in all of America, it’s largely thanks to the incredible charm of the Beacon Hill neighbourhood and its narrow lanes. This neighbourhood is full of gorgeous Georgian-style brick houses, historic gas lamps, and window boxes literally overflowing with colourful flowers. The residents here take real pride in how their homes look, so every front door looks like it came out of an expensive home-living catalogue.
The absolute highlight and centrepiece of the whole neighbourhood is Acorn Street, which is very often said to be the most photographed street in the USA. It’s a narrow, steep lane paved with original cobblestones — it has no official rating on the maps, but it reliably works as a huge magnet for the eyes. Definitely head here very early in the morning or in the evening, when there aren’t crowds of photographers around and you can enjoy the truly historic atmosphere.
5. Faneuil Hall Marketplace
This huge historic marketplace is by far the most visited place in our entire selection, as clearly shown by its impressive roughly 49,000 reviews averaging 4.5 stars. Faneuil Hall has served as a market and public gathering place since 1742 and is often nicknamed the Cradle of Liberty. It’s from here that fiery speeches calling for American independence once rang out, while today it’s a lively hub full of shops and stalls.
Beyond the shopping itself, the space in front of the marketplace is famous for its brilliant street performers, who entertain the crowds every day with acrobatics, magic, or musical acts. The whole square is beautifully paved and breathes an atmosphere of old times, even though today you’ll mostly find branches of well-known fashion brands. Either way, it’s an absolutely great spot for picking up small souvenirs or simply watching the bustle with a good coffee in hand.
6. Quincy Market
Right in the heart of the Faneuil Hall Marketplace complex sits Quincy Market, a huge and incredibly popular food hall that holds a rating of 4.5 stars from more than 14,000 reviews. The long historic building with Doric columns is literally packed inside with dozens of food stalls offering just about everything you could think of. It does get pretty crowded and the noise is ever-present, but that energetic atmosphere is absolutely worth it.
When it comes to local cuisine, the local specialities are the thick, creamy clam chowder and the famous lobster roll, which draw tourists from all over the world. But don’t worry at all if you’re not a fan of seafood, because you’ll find plenty of great vegetarian options too. In the middle of the hall there’s a large seating area under a glass dome, where you can calmly eat your catch of the day and recharge.
7. The Italian North End neighbourhood
If you love places with a truly authentic soul and great food, you’ll surely fall for the North End, which is essentially Boston’s version of the famous Little Italy. This is actually the oldest residential area in the whole city and is famous for its tangled narrow lanes and historic brick buildings. The air here constantly smells of freshly baked bread, herbs, and strong Italian espresso.
The main draw of this neighbourhood, though, is undoubtedly its wonderful bakeries, where you simply must stop for the legendary cannoli. These are crisp fried shells generously filled with sweet ricotta cream, and locals wage endless debates over which bakery makes them best. Whichever one you choose, be prepared to possibly wait a while in line — but that sweet experience is absolutely unbeatable.
8. USS Constitution and museum
If you diligently keep following the red Freedom Trail line and cross the bridge over the river, you’ll reach one of the greatest historical treasures in all of America. Docked here is the oldest commissioned warship still afloat in the world, the USS Constitution, launched all the way back in 1797. People absolutely love this majestic sailing ship, which is reflected in its wonderful rating of 4.8 stars from more than 3,300 visitors.
The ship has been nicknamed “Old Ironsides” for centuries, because during the War of 1812 enemy cannonballs bounced off its solid oak hull as if it were made of real iron. Visitors can step right onto the deck, which to this day is proudly maintained by active U.S. Navy sailors in uniform who are happy to answer any of your questions. Right next to the ship you’ll find a superbly done museum full of interactive exhibits.
9. Bunker Hill Monument
Roughly at the very end of our well-known red line rises a huge granite obelisk dedicated to one of the first major battles of the American War of Independence. The Bunker Hill Monument, which has earned a superb 4.7 stars from more than 7,200 reviews, dominates the entire Charlestown neighbourhood and is visible from afar. The area around the monument is also beautifully kept and offers a very pleasant spot to rest on the grass.
If you have enough energy and don’t suffer from claustrophobia, I definitely recommend climbing all 294 steps to the very top of the obelisk. The climb spirals up a very narrow internal staircase and can be quite exhausting, but the view over Boston and its sprawling harbour from the little windows at the top is a truly deserved reward. Just bear in mind there’s no elevator inside whatsoever, so you really have to rely on your own legs.
10. Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum
Almost all of us have heard at some point about the famous Boston Tea Party, USA, which essentially kicked off the entire American Revolution — and this is where you can experience that event to the fullest. This highly rated interactive museum, with 4.6 stars from nearly 9,800 reviews, sits right on the water and offers an utterly unique experience. It’s not some boring classic museum with glass cases, but a live theatrical show with professional actors in period costumes.
During the tour you become direct participants in that stormy historic night of 1773, and you even get to throw a replica crate of tea overboard into the sea yourself. The site also includes gorgeous wooden replicas of two historic sailing ships, which you can climb aboard and explore in detail. It’s huge fun not only for families with children but is guaranteed to entertain adults too, who want to learn a bit of history in a more engaging way.
11. View Boston observation deck
If you’re longing to see this compact city from a proper bird’s-eye view, head straight for the Prudential Tower skyscraper. The observation deck here, which was formerly called the Skywalk Observatory and now goes by the new name View Boston, holds a nice rating of 4.6 stars from more than 2,100 people. It’s located on the fifty-second floor of the building and offers an utterly stunning panoramic view in every direction.
Unlike the old observatory, today’s View Boston is a hugely modern and interactive space, where alongside the views through the glass you’ll also find an outdoor terrace called The Cloud Terrace — an absolutely great spot for cracking photos. Getting your bearings in the city is much easier from this height, and you’ll beautifully see how closely the city is tied to the water. I recommend heading up just before sunset so you can see the city bathed in golden light and then beautifully lit up in the dark.
12. Charles River Esplanade
This beautiful, long green promenade stretching right along the bank of the Charles River is one of the locals’ favourite places for active relaxation after work. Although it’s a public space with no official rating, trust me — it’s an incredibly photogenic spot, especially during the autumn Indian summer. The promenade runs for several kilometres and is lined with mature trees, benches, and small wooden docks jutting out into the water.
In short, it’s an absolutely ideal place for a morning run, renting a bike, or just a calm afternoon stroll while watching white sailboats and rowers training on the river. During the warm summer, free open-air concerts and evening film screenings take place at the Hatch Shell music pavilion. If you want to escape the noise of the big city for a while and recharge by the water, you simply won’t find a better place in Boston.
13. Harvard University
Since you’ve made the journey to Boston, it would be an absolute sin not to cross the river to the neighbouring city of Cambridge and visit the campus of one of the world’s most prestigious universities. Harvard boasts a rating of 4.6 stars from more than 6,700 visitors, and its historic campus, known as Harvard Yard, looks exactly as you know it from famous movies. You can get here from the centre in a few minutes by subway and find yourself in a completely different, beautifully academic world full of brick buildings.
Be sure to walk through the main courtyard full of centuries-old trees, under which students constantly sit with laptops and thick textbooks. A big tourist tradition here is rubbing the toe of John Harvard’s statue for luck, though local students will smilingly confirm that the statue doesn’t actually depict the real founder of the university at all. The campus is freely accessible and you can walk around completely free of charge, or join an organised tour.
14. Harvard Museum of Natural History
Right on the university campus is one of the best museums in the entire area, which quite deservedly has an incredible rating of 4.8 stars from nearly 5,800 people. This natural history museum is a bit smaller than the famous one in New York, but it has enormous charm and hides exhibits you simply won’t see anywhere else in the world. The interiors with their wooden display cases evoke a lovely, faintly mysterious atmosphere of 19th-century scientific discovery.
The absolutely biggest and most unique draw of the museum is the famous collection of Glass Flowers, once created for the university by father and son, the Blaschkas. These are thousands of incredibly detailed botanical models made entirely of glass, so precise that with the naked eye you can’t tell them apart from living plants. Besides that, you’ll also find huge skeletons of prehistoric dinosaurs and a wonderful collection of rare minerals.
15. MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
A little further downstream in Cambridge sits another academic giant that draws the attention not only of enthusiastic scientists but also lovers of architecture. The MIT campus has a lovely rating of 4.7 stars from over 4,600 visitors and offers a completely different atmosphere from the traditional, historic Harvard. While Harvard is the embodiment of old history, MIT feels like a glimpse straight into the future, where the world’s greatest technological innovations are born.
What draws most tourists with cameras, though, is the architecturally fascinating campus, full of modern and unconventional buildings. The most famous of these is definitely the strangely twisted Stata Center, designed by the celebrated architect Frank Gehry, which looks as though it defies the laws of gravity. Also worth seeing is the majestic Great Dome, which is the heart of the whole institute and around which real student life pulses.
16. Fenway Park
Even if baseball doesn’t interest you at all and you don’t understand its rules, this place is such a huge part of Boston’s identity that you definitely shouldn’t miss it. Fenway Park is the oldest Major League Baseball stadium still in operation, opened all the way back in 1912. Its fans have awarded it an amazing 4.8 stars from nearly 46,000 reviews, making it a place with enormous sporting soul and nostalgia.
If you happen not to manage to get tickets to an actual Boston Red Sox game, definitely go at least on an organised tour of the stadium, which runs even on non-game days. Guides enthusiastically take you onto the empty stands, explain the history of the famous tall green wall known as the Green Monster, and get you into places an ordinary spectator would never see. It’s a fascinating window into American sporting culture, which is treated here almost like a sacred religion.
17. Museum of Fine Arts (MFA)
For all art lovers this museum is an absolute must, as it’s among the very largest and most important art museums in the entire United States. With a rating of 4.8 stars from around 20,000 reviews, it ranks among the very best that Boston can offer its visitors. The building itself is enormous and holds unbelievable treasures from all over the world, from ancient Egypt to contemporary and often provocative modern art.
Set aside plenty of time for your visit, because properly walking through all the exhibitions is at least a half-day of strolling. The biggest highlight here is the huge and highly prized collection of Impressionists, including many famous works by Claude Monet. But you’ll also find a wonderful department of Asian art with a beautiful Japanese garden where you can rest. The museum is gorgeously spacious and never feels as unpleasantly crammed as some famous museums in Europe.
18. Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
This museum is an absolute one-off with a rating of 4.7 stars from more than 11,000 people, and in my opinion it’s one of the most beautiful and fascinating places in the whole city. The building was created by an eccentric art collector who had a perfect replica of a Venetian palace built for herself. The art collection here is gorgeous, but what makes the museum a global sensation and huge draw is its darker, unsolved history.
In 1990, the most famous art heist in history took place here, when thieves stole thirteen works of enormous value, including rare paintings by Rembrandt and Vermeer. The case remains unsolved to this day, the paintings were never found, and the museum strictly adheres to its founder’s wish that nothing in the collection may be changed. That’s why empty frames still hang in their original places on the walls, lending the whole palace an incredibly mysterious and slightly melancholic atmosphere that gives you chills.
The centrepiece of the whole palace is the stunning inner courtyard beneath a glass roof, which is filled year-round with blooming flowers, green ferns, and ancient statues. It’s a perfect oasis of calm where you can sit and simply soak up that incredible Venetian atmosphere in the middle of an American metropolis. Tickets to the museum are very often sold out, so I strongly recommend sorting out your purchase online well in advance.
19. Boston Public Library
You might be wondering why you’d want to visit a library on holiday, but this historic building on Copley Square is guaranteed to amaze you. It’s the first large public library in the USA, having earned a lovely rating of 4.8 stars from nearly 3,800 reviews. Its interiors look more like a royal palace than a place for borrowing books, and right at the entrance you’re greeted by massive bronze doors and a beautiful marble staircase with lion statues.
You definitely have to head to the main reading room called Bates Hall, a stunning, enormous hall with a high barrel-vaulted ceiling and iconic green lamps on the long wooden tables, where complete silence reigns. A real treasure is the inner courtyard with a small fountain and arched arcades, which looks as though someone transported it straight here from sunny Italy. Entry to the library is completely free, and it’s an absolutely ideal place to duck into if you happen to be caught out by rain.
20. New England Aquarium
If you’re travelling with family and looking for an activity that’s guaranteed to thrill even the youngest children, this huge aquarium is a sure bet. With more than 28,800 reviews and an average of 4.4 stars, it’s among the most popular attractions sitting right by Boston Harbor. Even if the concrete building might not look all that modern from the outside, inside hides a colourful underwater world that immediately draws you in and won’t let go.
The main architectural and experiential feature here is the huge, four-storey cylindrical tank placed right in the middle of the building, around which a spiral ramp winds. As you slowly climb upward you can safely watch sharks, rays, and hundreds of vividly coloured fish swimming around an artificial reef. Right at the entrance, a large colony of adorable penguins greets you with a great racket, and it’s very hard to tear the kids away from them.
21. Samuel Adams Boston Brewery
For all fans of a golden brew, here’s a great tip for a trip to the Jamaica Plain neighbourhood, home to one of the most famous American breweries. The Samuel Adams brewery has a great rating of 4.7 stars from around 2,300 reviews and offers very popular and, above all, fun tours. It’s a great contrast to traditional Boston history, because here you’ll learn all about modern beer brewing and how this brand once helped kick off the craft brewery boom in the USA.
During the roughly hour-long and very relaxed tour, experienced guides walk you through the whole production process, let you taste various malts, and give you a whiff of hops. The very best, of course, comes at the very end, when a very generous tasting of several kinds of beer awaits you in the cheerful local tasting room. The atmosphere here tends to be very friendly, and you can often take home a nice tasting glass as a souvenir too.
22. Boston Harbor Islands
If after several days of demanding walking around the city streets you feel you urgently need a bit of nature, head out to the islands in the bay. This national and state park is made up of dozens of small islands with a rating of 4.7 from just under 1,500 reviews and is an absolutely perfect escape from the bustle of the big city. You get here very easily and fairly quickly on a regular ferry, which departs right from the centre at Long Wharf.
On the islands you’ll find kilometres of well-kept hiking trails, the historic Fort Warren, and above all absolutely fantastic, photogenic views of the Boston skyscrapers right from the water’s surface. You can have an afternoon picnic here, quietly watch the birds, or simply stroll along the peaceful beaches and enjoy the wonderful calm. It’s a lovely paradox, because although the city pulses with life just across the water from you, you feel as though you’re in a completely different world.
Where to go next from Boston
If you have more time on the East Coast, it would be a shame not to venture beyond Boston too. A short train ride takes you to the famous town of Salem, known for its 17th-century witch trials. The town itself is beautiful and full of historic houses, but I have to warn you about the famous Salem Witch Museum, which has a fairly poor rating of 3.7 stars from nearly 13,400 reviews. According to many reviews, it’s more of an older narrated show with figures than a real museum, so definitely consider whether it’s worth the entrance fee for you at all.
Drive roughly an hour and a half south and you’ll find yourself on the gorgeous Cape Cod peninsula. It’s a renowned summer destination full of long sandy beaches, romantic lighthouses, and charming fishing villages, with a great rating of 4.7, offering the true seaside atmosphere of New England.

Frequently asked questions
How many days are ideal for visiting Boston?
In my opinion, three to four days is the absolutely ideal amount of time to walk the entire historic Freedom Trail route, visit the prestigious universities in Cambridge, and explore at least one major museum. If you spend just a long weekend here, you’ll see the highlights, but you’ll have to rush a lot and won’t have time to enjoy the atmosphere in the parks.
Do I need a rental car in Boston?
Definitely not, a car would be more of a huge hassle here. Streets in the historic center are very narrow, one-way, and poorly marked, plus parking in the city is astronomically expensive. You can get everywhere easily and quickly on foot or by the local metro called the “T”, which has a very dense network of stops and covers everything essential.
Do you have to pay for the Freedom Trail?
Walking the trail itself and following the red line on the sidewalk is completely free. You only pay admission if you want to go inside some of the specific buildings or museums along the route, such as Paul Revere’s historic house or the Old South Meeting House museum.
What should I try from the local cuisine?
The Boston classic that all tourists seek out at Quincy Market is the thick clam chowder soup and the lobster sandwich called a lobster roll. But you definitely shouldn’t miss the Italian neighborhood of North End, where you’ll find the best family bakeries and amazing sweet cannoli tubes filled with delicious ricotta.
Is Boston suitable for visiting with children?
Yes, the city is perfect for families with children. Kids will be absolutely thrilled by the enormous cylindrical aquarium with penguins, the romantic ride on swan boats in the park, and they’ll definitely be hugely entertained by the interactive Tea Party museum, where they can throw replicas of tea into the water themselves.
What’s the best way to get from the airport to the center?
From Logan International Airport it’s really just a short distance to the center and public transportation is very easy. You can use the free Silver Line bus, which will quickly take you to South Station, or the blue metro line, which you can reach from the terminal via a shuttle bus.
When is the best time for fall foliage viewing?
If you want to see the famous Indian summer in full force and vibrant colors, head here ideally in mid-October. The coloring of the trees naturally varies slightly each year depending on the current weather, but October is generally your best bet for the most beautiful yellow and red colors in all of New England.
Tips and Tricks for Your Vacation
Don’t Overpay for Flights
Search for flights on Kayak. It’s our favorite search engine because it scans the websites of all airlines and always finds the cheapest connection.
Book Your Accommodation Smartly
The best experiences we’ve had when looking for accommodation (from Alaska to Morocco) are with Booking.com, where hotels, apartments, and entire houses are usually the cheapest and most widely available.
🚗 Car rental on the roadVerified rental cars in the United StatesSearch with the DiscoverCars comparison engine — it compares prices from dozens of local and international rental companies, and most bookings come with free cancellation.
Compare car prices in the United States →Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
Good travel insurance will protect you against illness, accidents, theft, or flight cancellations. We’ve had a few hospital visits abroad, so we know how important it is to have proper insurance arranged.
Where we insure ourselves: SafetyWing (best for everyone) and TrueTraveller (for extra-long trips).
Why don’t we recommend any Czech insurance company? Because they have too many restrictions. They set limits on the number of days abroad, travel insurance via a credit card often requires you to pay medical expenses only with that card, and they frequently limit the number of returns to the Czech Republic.
