Boston True Crime & Courtroom on Film

Eight real Boston and Dedham locations tied to the city's true-crime and courtroom dramas, from the Boston Strangler case to Sacco and Vanzetti's Dedham trial

Film crews come to Boston for streets that can pretend to be anywhere. Here is what they used. Eight stops over 34.1 miles, about an hour and a half of driving. Every stop narrates itself when you get there, at whatever pace you feel like walking.

It is one of 50 tours in Boston, each taking a different line through the city. Nothing is booked and nothing expires, so you can start it on a whim and finish it whenever you like.
