Three 'must sees/do' in Boston?

Still planning what to do when we get to boston next week, only there for three days so want to get as much in as possible, so what are your top three things to do or go and see?

Thanks.

Three 'must sees/do' in Boston?

Go to Omni Parker House and have Boston Creme Pie invented there.

Walk the Freedom trail which is right outside of Parker House

walk in Boston Common

walk to Quincy Marketplace as its on the freedom trail and only 2 blocks from the Parker House.

All the historic sites are right around

The hotel and along the trail including shopping at Filene%26#39;s Basement which is a fun stop to check out the bargains/

Go on a trolley tour which will give you a great site of the city (Tickets at Conceirge at the Parker House and the trolley is 1 block away.

Three 'must sees/do' in Boston?

1. Walk the Freedom Trail and definately spend some time exploring the North End along your way.

2. Pick one of the many amazing Musuems in Boston...My favorites are Musuem of Fine Arts and The Isabella Stewart Gardner Musuem

3. Top of the Hub...you can%26#39;t beat the spectatcular views.

1) Fanueil Hall/Quincy Market (Holocaust Memorial, Shopping, Nightlife, etc.)

2) Walk along Newbury Street... it ends into the Boston Public Garden and the Boston Common where you can check out the Frog Pond and go ice skating

3) Reflecting Pool near Copley and it%26#39;s near the Prudential center where you can go to the Top of the Hub for drinks/dessert (overrated for dinner in my opinion)

For food, I would certainly check out the North End for great Italian food and pastry.

Days 1 and 2: I would suggest you first take a trolley tour of Boston - it%26#39;s the best way to acclimate yourself and then figure out what you want to go back and see in depth. (You could do the getting on and off the trolley thing, but you spend half the time waiting for the trolley.)

Start the Freedom Trail on your first day, though if you have 3 days, I would skip the part where you go to Charlestown - too cold for that, plus, you%26#39;ll see it on the trolley (that%26#39;s the one place you might want to get down if you%26#39;re interested in seeing the USS Constitution).

If you keep 2 days for the Freedom Trail, you will have plenty of time to stop and look around. It takes you through Faneuil Hall, the North End, etc. so all the major sites are covered.

Day 3: Walk down Charles Street - the most charming street in Boston. Right at the Commons and the Boston Gardens - so you can stroll around both when you%26#39;re doing this area. (I would get down at the Park Street station if you%26#39;re taking the subway). You%26#39;ll be right on the Commons. Charles Street has something like over 30 antique stores and many little art galleries.

Have breakfast at Paramount cafe - the local favorite. Or lunch at Fig%26#39;s. All of Charles street is lit with gaslamps and is so beautuful, oldworld, and romantic - as is the whole neighborhood, Beacon Hill. You can%26#39;t leave Boston without walking around here. I%26#39;d suggest walking up Mt. Vernon Street (right off Charles Street), Louisberg Square (where Senator Kerry lives) and then find Acorn Street - this is on many postcards of Beacon Hill.

You%26#39;ll still have time to hit the Back Bay after this. Walk down Newbury Street and walk around Copley Square (by now, you%26#39;ll know where all these things are and some of the history behind it if you%26#39;ve taken the trolley tour so it%26#39;ll be fun to re-discover these places on foot.)

Have a great time in Boston - remember to bundle up! THis is a lot of walking and you want to be warm and comfortable.
