As four days at Boston to spend

As four days at Boston to spend -

as one of the oldest cities in the United States, Boston has to do a lot of interesting things. It is not as big as New York or Chicago, and it often feels like a huge city as a city. I think this is a plus because Boston has all the advantages of a large metropolis without the intensity and fast pace of New York.

Boston is not a city to rush through. Unlike many other locations, people who visit Boston rather not do in a day or two. It's as if they know that this is a relaxed city that deserves a little more time. I think you get a very good feeling and an overview of Boston during a four-day visit. Here is a route that will allow you to see the best that Boston has to offer:

Day 1
Freedom Trail

the Freedom Trail is a 2.5-mile walk through the historic Boston. It takes you through all the major attractions and monuments. To view all the sites to see on the track, expect it to take most of the day. In all of the foot, which is involved, this is the only type I would of the day. You want to take your time and see all of the pages. After all, Boston has a very long history. It can "Super touristy", but it does an amazing job, the story of one of America's oldest cities presented

Packed in Faneuil Hall -. Quincy Market in Faneuil Hall is to stop the place and eat lunch on the Freedom Trail. There are about two dozen different places to eat. You can from Greek into sushi sandwiches just get everything here and more, since you are in Boston, try the clam chowder, a local specialty New England.

Day 2
Boston Commons

in Boston Commons Begin your day, a huge park, which many people warm summer days looks. There are many different ways to go, even to the Frog Pond, where children and adults can cool. In winter it is on the pond skating. Boston Commons is also a great place to go people watching.

Boston Public Gardens

After early morning walk, head across the street to the public gardens. You can in the middle of the gardens take a swan tour of the pond, or you can just go for a walk and some nice flowers see

walk around the Back Bay -. The end of the park meets Boston Back Bay, our version of New York's SoHo and the West Village. This is where Boston's elite and rich life and near Newbury Street is our Madison Avenue, with many expensive shopping. The handsome brownstones and tree-lined streets make for a quiet, leisurely stroll. Keep sitting at the park on Commonwealth Ave and people and cars go

lunch on Boylston -. Moving toward Boylston Street and lunch on the terrace of one of its many restaurants. If you want to spend a bit more money, eat on Newbury Street. Stephanie is good for both food and emptying your wallet. Snappy Sushi has great lunch specials and Kashmir has delicious (and spicy) Indian food

Copley Square and Trinity Church -. Copley Square is a great little park where you can buy discount theater tickets, listen to musicians, and the views of the Hancock Tower at. You can also go in Boston Trinity Church, which is the provision of one of Boston's oldest and most beautiful churches.

Charles River

Double back toward the Charles River and walk the river. If it is summer, you can go to a free show at the Boston Hatch Shell or sailing on the river to catch. If not, it's still a nice walk along the river, where you will meet runners, playing children, and people in sports

Museum of Science -. At the end of the bank of the river is the Museum of Science. If you are not too tired, check the museum and the Omni Theater inside. Although many are of the exhibits for children, it is still one of the best museums in the country. Your Space exhibition is excellent

Day 3
Visit the Aquarium -. Boston Aquarium is one of the better ones I've ever been. It's really well done, the fish in a few small tanks, all of which are not overloaded, and there is a lot of information on how to protect the oceans.

Explore the North End

historic North End is the heart of the Italian community in Boston. You will hear as much Italian as you are the accent Boston. In the morning you will see little Italian grandmas shopping, while the grandpas have their morning espresso. It's almost like in Italy. You find here the best gelato outside of Italy

Head Up to Prudential Tower -. Once you are out of the North End, go back to see Prudential Tower in Copley. You can climb the tower and a bird's eye view of the city.

Arnold Arboretum

About 260 acres of free public space are from sunrise to sunset. There are walkways, gardens, open lawns, and tons of flowers from around the world. Relax under the plant and a step back from the fast pace of the city. This place is much quieter than the public gardens and offers a greater variety of plants. They also have a large bonsai tree collection

to a game See -. Boston is a sports town. During the year you will find the sports teams. Boston are stubborn about their teams, so you are sure that some intense emotions to experience, if you're going. If you really want a Boston sports experience, go to a Red Sox game. If you can not get to hang around the bars of near Fenway. Just never, ever, ever root for the Yankees!

Day 4
Take a free tour of Harvard

Founded in 1636, the oldest university in Harvard's the USA. Head to join his home in Cambridge (Harvard Square train stop, red line) and a free tour. Find out more about the university's history, architecture, programs and myths. When you're done, wander around and experience eclectic offers of Harvard Square. There are a lot of good to hear street musicians. (Tracy Chapman got their start here.)

Hang in Harvard Square

See the mix of life in Harvard Square. Walk around, strolling mix in antique shops and coffee shops and watch artists vagabonds, locals and students. There are some cool little shops in

Take the Sam Adams Brewery Tour "The Garage". - After four days of sightseeing, you deserve a beer or five. Sam Adams brewery offers free tours of the brewery. Sam Adams is a big brewery in Boston and locals drink it widely and frequently. Tours begin in the afternoon and depart every 45 minutes. You get a couple of free samples along the way. If you are under 21, do not worry. You can still go, you can not just drink.

Boston is a great city, and I say that not just because I grew up there. I have never met a person who did not like. Come to Boston and find out what is a big city. The four-day itinerary will give you a good overview of the city on a beautiful, relaxed pace. They will move around a lot, though, so make sure you get an unlimited "T" pass (train-pass). If you have more time, you can squeeze some other activities. But why so hurry a nice place?
