Day 1 Exploring the City
Day 1 Exploring the City
Start your day with a delightful breakfast at The Paramount in charming Beacon Hill. Then, take a leisurely stroll down Charles Street, adorned with cozy boutiques and inviting cafes. Your next stop should be the nearby Charles River Esplanade Park, where you can soak in stunning views of the city skyline.
Continue your journey to Boston Common and Public Garden, the oldest public park in the United States. Here, you can relax by the pond or enjoy a swan boat ride. Your historical tour begins as you embark on the Freedom Trail from the park's corner. This 2.5-mile trail leads you to 16 iconic landmarks, including the Massachusetts State House, Paul Revere's House, and the Old North Church. We personally experienced both walking the trail and using the convenient Old Town Trolley, and we found the trolley to be the optimal choice. If long walks or bustling city streets aren't your cup of tea, the trolley offers the flexibility of hopping on and off at your preferred destinations.
Don't miss the opportunity to hop off at Stop #3 to explore the USS Cassin Young warship, Stop #5 for a visit to Samuel Adams' Brewery, Stop #9 for the captivating Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and Stop #14 for an immersive journey through the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museums, allowing you to relive a pivotal moment in American history. Once you disembark at Stop #14, take a short walk to the Seaport District to see the beauty of the city's harbor and panoramic views.

Kickstart your second day with a delightful breakfast at Stephanie's outdoor patio on Newbury Street. Afterward, head to Harvard University in the nearby city of Cambridge. You can choose between a guided campus tour or explore the historic institution on your own. Don't forget to explore Harvard Square, a vibrant hub filled with charming bookstores, cozy coffee shops, and street performers.
Next on your agenda is a visit to the iconic Fenway Park, the hallowed grounds where the Boston Red Sox play. Opt for a guided ballpark tour or, if it's baseball season, catch a live game for the full Fenway experience.
End your day with a delicious dinner at Contessa, the restaurant at the Newbury Hotel. With beautiful panoramic views of Boston, it's the best way to wrap up your trip.
