It’s hard to run out of things to do in Boston. A walk on the historic Freedom Trail could be the perfect way to kick off an adventure here, since afterwards, you can move on to a range of top-notch art museums, like the Institute of Contemporary Art, or see the glass flowers at Harvard, take a boat trip out on Boston Harbor, or merely stroll the Harborwalk.
With so many historic sites, parks, performance venues, museums, shops, and restaurants to visit, you’ll have no trouble filling up your itinerary, from the Paul S. Russell Museum to the Mapparium or South End Open Market. If all that touring has you begging for a break, a visit to the Grand Ten Distilling company is one of the most fun things to do in Boston.
