What's something fun to do while in Boston??

Question

I've never been to the east coast, and will be in boston for 3 days. What should i do/see while i'm there??????

Answer 1

#0. RIDE THE DUCKS! I say this as before #1, because this is a great thing to do first. The Duck Tours are in vehicles that are half boat, half van. They go over most of the city, and can show places that you may want to visit later. The guides are generally smart and funny.

#1. Freedom Walk. This walk through Boston goes through the heart of the city, and includes stops at most of the major Revolutionary Way historical points.

#2. Take in a museum or university tour. If you're a computer/technology type, go to the MIT museum and campus. More formal and historical? Go to Harvard. And set aside $20-$30 to go through stuff like Paul Revere's house, the US Constitution (1800's battleship), and the smaller museum sites that cover the American Revolution.

Shopping in Quincy Market (whis was the town marketplace for 300+ years), but there are no "Malls" or "Outlets", so there are shops everywhere.

Do not expect to find much parking. Take the "T" (the subway).

Answer 2

Take a tour of Fenway Park. Even if you don't get to see a game it's a great experience, and pretty cheap for a lot of fun. Walk the Freedom Trail, take a Duck Tour, go to the Museum of Science, the Museum of Fine Arts, check out Harvard Square, eat in the North End, shop at Fanueil Hall. . .There's so much to do and see, it'll fill up three days very quickly!

Answer 3

Luckily for you, most things are very close. You can almost walk to many things!

In Boston, Fanuiel Hall/Quincy Market is a must.

Freedom Trail as well, except don't walk the whole thing. Just hit some of the highlights. Go to the old North Church, South Meetinghouse and the Cemetery to see John Hancock and other tombstones.

If you like museums, the MFA (Museum of Fine Arts) is one of my favorite in the world (that and the Musee D'Orsay in Paris). Museum of Science is pretty neat too.

If you like Baseball, you might be able to catch a Red Sox game. You can probably get tickets cheap now that they're starting to fall out of the pennant race.

If you like to shop, go to the shops at Prudential/Copley Plaza. Also, be sure to walk down Newbury St just for fun and window shop.

Harvard Sq can be entertaining to walk around. Or you can bounce down to MIT and walk those hallways as well. Next to that is the esplanade, where you can walk the Charles River, which is gorgeous in the summer time, walk downtown and grab something to eat near fanueil hall!

You can also get a day pass for the "T" (subway) and ride all over just for fun!




If you want to wander outside of Boston (like if you have a car),

There's also Salem (north of Boston),
visitng Bunker Hill memorial in Charlestown (and you can climb it)
visiting Old Ironsides (USS Constitution) in Charlestown,
JFK library (just south of Boston),
visit Lexington and Concord (where it all started) out Route 2.

Enjoy the seafood! For affordable seafood, No Name's is the place to go. Outside of that, you could do the old reliable Durgin Park @ Quincy Market.

As you might be able to tell, Boston's one of my favorite cities. Hope you have a fantastic time!

Answer 4

Get in a cab and bypass to the Union Oyster domicile for dinner. that's the oldest continuously operating eating position in the U. S.. that's a tad expensive (2 human beings cost us $50 - yet one had lobster), notwithstanding that's so worth it! Take your digicam! that's an excellent section! you may also take a stress to Salem. that's 1/2-hour north of Boston and there are one of those pirate and witch museums to make certain!!! :) have exciting! :)

Answer 5

The Freedom Trail
The Museums
Fanueil Hall
Visit Lexington and Concord
Harvard Square

Answer 6

Go to the Boston Aquarium and also the science Museum is good.

Answer 7

Go to a Red Sox game. Especially if they are playing the Yankees. The old stadium surely won't be around much longer.

Answer 8

I don't know how far Boston is from Harvard Square,but if you can,go there. There's lots of entertainment,in the pubs and on the streets! Y.

Answer 9

Go on the Duck Tour. You ride around in an amphibious truck by land and by water.

Answer 10

Go to a Red Sox game
