Things To Do
Newbury Street
Boston’s premier retail strip. Stores and restaurants are pricier closer to the gardens, and become more affordable as you make your way down the street. When your shopped-out, grab lunch at Stephanie's.
North End
Knows as Boston’s “Little Italy,” we highly recommend dinner at one of the neighborhoods numerous restaurants (we like Limoncello and Assaggio). And afterwards, get a cannoli from either (or both) Mike's Pastry or Modern Pastry to join the cannoli debate!
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Boston's oldest, largest and best-known art institution. The MFA also boasts one of the largest collections of Claude Monet's work outside France.
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
The legacy of bohemian heiress Isabella Stewart Gardner; her home is now a museum displaying her impressive private art collection. But as a Venetian palace in the middle of Boston, the structure of the museum is a one-of-a-kind experience itself. Watch "This Is a Robbery: The World's Greatest Art Heist" on Netflix before you visit
Freedom Trail
The Freedom Trail is a 2.5-mile-long path through Boston that passes by 17 locations significant to the history of the United States. It winds from Boston Common in downtown Boston, to the Old North Church in the North End and the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown. Most of the sites are free or suggest donations, although the Old South Meeting House, the Old State House, and the Paul Revere House charge admission.
Faneuil Hall / Quincy Market
A well-known stop on the Freedom Trail; a shopping center with many stores & restaurants. The area is made up of 3 historic market buildings & a promenade. Faneuil Hall Marketplace is also home to the world famous Quincy Market, the oldest food hall in the country!
