The Absolute Best Activities There Are To Do In Boston
Juliana Daniel Updated on Nov 07, 2022

It's strange since, after touring the United States on a road trip and other excursions, I was apprehensive that Boston might feel a bit mundane in comparison. That's not to suggest that everywhere in the USA is the same, though.

Take A Walk Along The Freedom Trail

It's a requirement if you're visiting Boston. Our conversations with locals on the streets of Boston echoed the same sentiment: the Freedom Trail is a must-do if you ever visit the city. In the span of 2.5 miles, you'll see 16 landmarks, such as the Granary Burial Ground, Park Street Church, and the Massachusetts State House.

Explore The Historic Back Bay District

Visiting the historic district of Back Bay is high on my list of recommendations for what to do in Boston. Visit the charming Newbury St. boutiques and street vendors in the neighbourhood. There are many great places to eat, but if you want the best Black Truffle Risotto, you should stop by SRV Restaurant. Visit Luke's Lobster Back Bay if you're ready for some East Coast seafood.

Stroll Down Acorn Place

You can reach the iconic Boston Common in only a few minutes from the charming side street of Acron. I think it's one of the most charming small cobblestone alleys. Several streets here are reminiscent of those in Cambridge, England, or the quaint towns in the Cotswolds (England). Something about its messy, disorganized appearance is endearing. Don't think you're going to be spending hours here.

Go To A Game At Fenway Park

I'm not a huge sports fan but I will admit that I enjoy going to a new sporting event whenever I travel, and in Boston, that means baseball. Fenway Park, the home of the Boston Red Sox, is a must-see for anybody in the area, regardless of whether or not you enjoy baseball.

Take A Swanboat Ride at Boston's Public Garden

Boston's Public Garden is a haven of tranquillity. The Swan Boats are adorable, and the exotic trees and colourful blooms are a sight to behold in the first public botanical garden in the United States. Please keep in mind that the swan boats are closed during the winter.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

The MFA has approximately 455,000 works of art, so it's sure to have something that satisfies your artistic appetite, whether it's Impressionist paintings, early American art, or Asian or Egyptian. Conversely, if you're not really into "art," you should generally avoid this place. As I previously stated, this is one of the greatest places to see in Boston if you're an art lover.

Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall Gorge

To me, Faneuil Hall evokes the atmosphere of London's Borough Market. There are several mobile restaurants, and If you're a history buff who also enjoys shopping, you'll adore visiting Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Faneuil Hall, North Market, South Market, and Quincy Market are the four buildings that make up this historic marketplace, which is teeming with one-of-a-kind retailers, national chains, street entertainers, and countless eateries.

Visit Isabella Stewart Gardner

This stunning museum, modelled after Venice's Palazzo Barbaro, holds Isabella Stewart's private art collection. Many paintings by Italian masters like Raphael are on display alongside those by artists from the United States, Asia, and Europe.

Go To A Boston Symphony Orchestra concert

Whether or not you are a fan of classical music, you should not pass up the opportunity to see the Boston Symphony Orchestra play in Symphony Hall. There are almost 250 performances annually, so there's bound to be something interesting happening during your visit.

Go To Boston Common, the City's First Public Park.

The fact that the Boston Common is the oldest public park in the United States is its most prominent feature. While in town, you might potentially see a live musical or theatrical production. Even if it isn't, it's still a beautiful place to have a picnic or meander about at your leisure.

See The Paul Revere House

The Paul Revere House is a must-see in Boston since it's a breathtaking historical relic that any history buff will appreciate. The house's convenient location on Boston's Freedom Trail makes it a worthwhile pit break.

Visit The Historic Granary Burial Ground

You might be tempted to skip it because of its fearsome reputation, but don't immediately dismiss it only because of that. The Granary Burying Ground is one of the oldest in Boston, and the city's history is typically framed in terms of its "made it" individuals. Take a stroll in this tranquil area and discover more about the notable people that formerly called Boston home.
