It was great to see the beautiful architecture of the old church, inside and outside. The wood carvings were too beautiful to describe. It is not a quick trip. There is so much to see. Everywhere I looked was amazing 👏

Beautiful and over 100 years old. Father Jean I believe was his name gave us a little bit of information and welcomed us with a smile. He told us there’s bathrooms which we later used and also told us about the throne where Pope JP II sat when he visited the US for the first time and allowed us to seat on it and take pictures.

Beautiful church. Beautiful architecture. Came 10 minutes before closing for their last tour. You definitely don't need a lot of time to see everything if you're in a rush, however it's $10 to tour. Very cool visit.

I loved Trinity Church. It's a little gem. The outside is very gorgeous especially since the church is surrounded by modern skyscrapers. But it's the inside that it's breathtaking. The price to enter is $10 for adults. Worth it a visit.

When is the best time to visit Trinity Church (Boston, United States)?
