Boston is, at heart, a walking city, so prepare to be on your feet a lot when discovering activities to do in Boston. One of our favourite characteristics of the city is its accessibility!
When you’re not walking, you’ll most likely be using the train (or bus): single tickets, a one-day link pass, or a seven-day link pass may be purchased at any T station. Charlie cards (the locals’ preferred mode of transportation) are only available at certain stations and must be obtained directly from an MBTA employee.
However, for a short journey, I wouldn’t worry about it: simply pick up a pass. Single rides are $2.25 one way, so if you plan on doing a lot of sightseeing, a one-day ($12.50) or seven-day ($21.25) pass will almost probably be a better price.
Both Uber and Lyft have an office in the city, although Uber is far more prominent and has far more drivers. Cabs, of course, are also available.

- Mary Baker Eddy Library
If you’re a travel nerd, a map nerd, a history nerd, a geography nerd, or all of the above, you should stop by the Mapparium while in Boston. The Mapparium is an unusual exhibit: it’s a beautiful (and massive) stained glass globe designed to display all of the continents in their genuine dimensions, as opposed to standard maps and you see the world from within it by standing on a bridge.
The geographical map is frozen in time to when the Mapparium was established in 1935: the number of countries that have changed names and/or borders in that time is astounding, and Jeremy and I had a great time identifying places we had visited that had changed in the intervening 80+ year.
- Back Bay
What more could you want than beautiful mansions, plenty of trees, and trendy restaurants? Back Bay is one of Boston’s trendiest districts and should be on your list of things to do in Boston. We had brunch at Buttermilk & Bourbon and truly loved it–order the biscuits if you go. Here are some of the top Back Bay attractions!
- Beacon Hill
Beacon Hill constitutes one of America’s finest as well as most attractive neighborhoods. Check out Louisburg Square for some lovely homes, and Acorn Street for plenty of photo options. Popular Acorn Street can be found in Beacon Hill and may be the most photogenic of all the spots to visit in Boston. It’s also one of the country’s most recognizable streets. Charles Street in Beacon Hill also has many retailers and restaurants, making it an ideal location for a dinner.
- Revere Beach
Growing up in the suburbs of the United States, we still get thrilled about all the many things that may be reached by public transportation around the world–and we get even more pleased when that variety occurs right here at home. You may ride the T directly from Boston to the United States’ first public beach–there is no easier way to get to Revere Beach!
- Charles River
We didn’t get to tick sailing lessons off our list of things to do in Boston this summer because we felt it would be too ambitious to try to squeeze it in with as much traveling as we planned to do on the weekends. We sense a tug toward the small student boats bobbing on the ocean as we drive by! If the weather permits, take your hand at sailing while in Boston. Right on the Charles River, sailing packages of all sizes are available.
