What to do in Boston?, by geoffw on Jun 26, 2015 13:48:34 GMT 1, Plenty to see and do - I'd recommend in no particular order:
ICA - nice location, great building, usually have a decent show on.
Check out the large Os Gemeos piece on the Greenway near South station.
Duck Tour - cheesy as hell but a good way to see the various neighbourhoods/area and go for a little dip in the Charles river.
Science Museum
Whale Watching - think it's about $50 but you go out on a boat in to the bay (2 hour trip each way) and if you don't see any whales, you get a refund.
New England Aquarium is really nice, and cool if it's warm outside. The sea lions are particularly good fun.
Boston Common + Public Garden are great in the summer and last time i was there all the messages to Robin Williams (bench scene in Good Will Hunting) had been left on the ground.
Fenway Park - the stadium tour is great, watching a game depends on whether you like baseball or not.
Pizza at Regina's in the North End. Again, kinda obvious but they are great pizzas. North End is great to stroll around in general.

The Os Gemeos piece on the Greenway is not there anymore...however, there is still one Os Gemeos piece on Stuart Street on the side of the Revere Hotel. |

What to do in Boston?, by JAlternatiรณn on Jun 27, 2015 22:55:13 GMT 1, I was in Boston for the first time a few weeks ago as we're opening an office there, and loved it. Stumbled across the Os Gemeos when falling out of the steakhouse opposite (highly recommended eats). Great vibe to the city and nice and easy to walk around big sections of it.
Enjoy your trip.... I can't wait to go back.... oh, and you have to get a photo by the Cheers bar sign if you're of a certain age

What to do in Boston?, by sin on Jun 28, 2015 1:09:13 GMT 1, There is a small gallery right by where the big Os Gemeos piece was. Can't recall the name. Also bunch of good art from kids at the museum school. However outside of that the gallery (and street art) in Boston is light.
The ICA is rad, awesome gift shop. The swoon pagoda is tits.
