Things To Do
Boston Duck Tours
The Boston Duck Tour is Liz Orie's favorite thing in the world! It is a popular sightseeing tour that takes you on a narrated journey through Boston in unique "duck boat" vehicle. These tours take you through the major spots in the City and travel on both land and water. Highly recommend! *Note, the pick up location is very close to the hotel block - New England Aquarium Departure Location
Newbury Street
Charming and vibrant street known for shopping and dining, lined with boutiques, galleries, cafes, and salons! Newbury street is busy and is a quintessential Boston experience with a trendy atmosphere :)
Boston Common
America's oldest public park offers a serene oasis in the heart of the city, with lush green spaces, scenic walking paths, and recreational activities for all ages. Relax by the iconic Frog Pond, explore historic monuments and statues, and hang on the grass!
North End
Boston's "Little Italy," is a charming neighborhood bursting with Italian culture, delicious cuisine, and historic charm. Wander through narrow cobblestone streets, sample authentic Italian cuisine and pastries (the famous Mike's Pastry) and admire iconic landmarks. Clare's first apartment was in the North end for three years!
Charles Street
Visit Charles Street in Beacon Hill for such a charming street filled with shops, cafes, and more! Visit Beacon Hill Books and Cafe for a good bookstore and outdoor coffee/tea shop.
Fenway Park
Take a tour of Fenway Park and enjoy a behind-the-scenes glimpse into one of America's most beloved ballparks, home to the Boston Red Sox. Walk the grounds, learn about the stadium's rich history, and even step onto the iconic Green Monster.
