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 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!

If you are visiting Boston do a Ducktour! It is a lot of fun and it takes you through a lot of the high points. They run them out of the science museum.
Also check out the Italian section of the city if you like to eat :) They have some amazing restaurants and a place called Mikes Pastry's. They have cookies and desserts that are to die for.

The Fanueil Hall/Quincy Market area is my favorite. Shopping, dining, bars, and entertainment all right there. A good mix too, and reasonable prices.
