What are the cannot miss things to do in Boston? Going in to weeks!?

google Boston and you will get events and map of where your staying see if tigers are playing there when your there when you going I'm going during hunting season

I was just there, I would suggest following the freedom trail. Do it alone, don't go on a tour and just strategically plan your day so you can do your eating and shopping and tourist stuff. Go to Mike's Pastry (north end/ little Italy), fanuel hall and legal seafood and you will be straight! Boston's only 2.5 miles in length so pace you're self over all those days.

Fenway Park

I'm from NH, and didn't think I'd like to do the typical "touristy" type things because I'm not quite a tourist. However, my husband convinced me to try the Duck Tour during a daytrip to Beantown during our honeymoon roadtrip. I LOVED it. We did the tour first thing in the day (buy your tickets online because the boats fill up fast!). They take you around the city on these amphibious boats--so the first half is all in the streets and you'll get to see all of the landmarks. Then, the boats drive right into the Charles River and you get to see the city from that vantage as well. Normally they let the kids on the boat drive it for a bit while in the water--it's fun to watch :)

The best part was that we got to see just how close everything was to each other, and were inspired to put some "must-do" things on our list. We ended up spending the rest of the day walking in the city (didn't even need the T!) and really, really enjoyed our day. We had lunch in the North End, saw the Commons, checked out the historical cemeteries, went up to the Prudential...just walked everywhere!

I've been going to Boston for daytrips my whole life, and that day was by far the best. The Museum of Science, the Aquarium, Fenway...all really fun, too, but getting out and walking around the city to discover the little nooks and crannies was definitely the most enjoyable.

I live in Boston and have all my life. MUST SEE FENWAY!!!!! Best hands down.

To the first answer if yor talking about the Detriot Tigers then they were already here for opening week. They won't be comming back to Boston at all this season.

I would suggest first taking a tour of Fenway Park and hanging around the area before the Sox game. It is like nothing else in any city that has an MLB team. The atmosphere outside of Fenway on Landsdowne Street and Brookline Ave is amazing. The Cask n Flagon is a great place to watch the game, or Boston Beer Works if you are into Micro Brews.

I would suggest heading to Quincy Market(Fanuiel Hall) and checking things out. Also, stroll through the Common and Public Gardens. To eat, I would suggest seafood and Italian. The North End has about 100 restaurants and is some of the best Italian food you can find anywhere. Legal Seafoods is good, but I would suggest Anthony's Pier 4 or the Union Oyster House (America's oldest restaurant). The MFA (Museum of Fine Arts) and The Science Museum are must sees. Harvard Square is also a cool place to go and checkout along with Memorial Drive in Cambridge for fantsatic views of the city.

i'm going to agree with many of the other posters and suggest a tour of fenway park. really great and it's actually pretty cheap.

-chowder at the union oyster house (america's first restaurant).
-following the freedom trail (like smartgal said -- alone. way better without a tour guide).
-duck tour (even people who actually live here long going on them)
-picking up sandwiches and having a little picnic in the public gardens or along the charles river
-for museums, you might want to check out the museum of science or the museum of fine arts.
-walk around beacon hill

To Do In Boston:

First, check out www.bostonusa.com to get some ideas of what may be going on in town while you are there. I also suggest you pick up Boston For Dummies – it’s a great book and will give you directions on how to get to a lot of places.

If you’ve never been before, you may consider purchasing an MBTA subway pass. That way you’ll never have to worry about having exact change for the subway. You can make this purchase at www.mbta.com. They offer the passes in 1, 3, and 7-day passes. If flying into Boston through Logan International Airport, you can pick-up the blue line (in bound) to get to downtown Boston.

FYI – when taking the subway, more commonly known as the “T” – if you want to head towards ‘downtown’ Boston (i.e. State Street/Park Street) then you’ll want to take an “in bound” train, anywhere away from those points, would be an ‘outbound train.’

All of the locations that I suggest below are accessible from the “T.”

For things to do – Boston has a ton – it all depends on what you are looking to do. I would first suggest that you take a tour or trolley; it’ll give you great insight as to where ‘touristy’ things are located. Please note, that Boston is considered a ‘walking city,’ which means, that even though things may look very far apart on map, in actuality, the probably aren’t. There are several tours/trolleys to choose from. One unique tour is the Boston Duck Tour (http://www.bostonducktours.com). These tours sell out quickly, so you’ll have to take advantage of this when you first arrive to Boston. This tour is good rain or shine. You can board from either near the Boston Science Center or the Prudential Center. You can also purchase tickets at either location. When I was in Boston in 2006, you could also purchase tickets at Fanueil Hall (see below).

You’ll more than likely want to partake in the Freedom Trail walk. There is/are tours by bus you can take, but if you like to walk (and are able), walking it is like no other. You can go to the official website (http://www.thefreedomtrail.org/) to print out a map and get information on what the trail is all about.

If you like sports, baseball especially, see about doing a tour of Fenway Park. Not sure the exact dates of your trip, but more than likely, baseball will still be in season, so you’ll have to call to find out what dates/times tours will take place. http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/bos/ballpark/tour.jsp

If you are looking for ‘greener’ pastures, check out the Boston Common and Children’s Garden, as well as take a stroll along the Charles River (down the esplanade).

Fanueil Hall and Quincy Market are another good stop. Usually there are street performers and music going on. http://www.faneuilhallmarketplace.com/

The Boston Aquarium is another great stop and near the Fanueil Marketplace. You can find out more about the Aquarium by going to http://www.neaq.org/. While here, you can also sign up to do a whale watch out of the Boston Harbor.

There are plenty of college campuses to check out – MIT, Harvard, Northeastern, Boston University, Boston College, etc.

If shopping is your thing, check out Newbury Street - http://www.newbury-st.com/.

If you’d like to see a show – check out Blue Man Group – http://www.blueman.com/. It’s a complete one-of-a-kind show. There is nothing like it.

Other things to check out are: Cheers, Christian Science Reflecting Pool, Copley Square, Boston Children’s Museum, Boston Science Museum, Isabella Stuart Gardner Art Museum (there are many museums in Boston), etc.

Have a great time. I’ve vacationed there several times and I absolutely love it!!
