This is our Boston Travel Guide for tourists visiting the first time! We spent two days in this quaint historic city where we saw many famous historical landmarks and charming old world buildings. The presence of nearby elite universities like Harvard and MIT gives the city an intellectual vibe too. And of course, we enjoyed lots of awesome food here, especially the fresh and delicious seafood that Boston is well-known for. Based on our experience, we have created the below travel guide, which will be useful if you are visiting Boston for the first time!

    Hi Evan,

    Thank you for sharing your Boston itinerary. I will travelling to Boston 7 to 10 Dec: arriving 7 Dec noon & leaving 10 Dec morning for Manhattan. I believed you also traveled to Boston in December. Was it freaking cold? Also your itinerary was for 1.5 days, are there enough things to do for 2.5 days? Cheers

    Hello Paul,

    Yes it was really cold! Especially when the wind was blowing. I think the temperature went down to minus -3°C even during the day. Make sure you wear plenty of layers! I actually spent 2 full days in Boston, you can check out my itinerary here. Yes there are definitely enough activities to keep you occupied for 2.5 days! You can check out the beautiful public gardens, walk the Freedom Trail, go shopping, check out the iconic landmarks, go on a day trip to Harvard, etc. You can check out my article on the 10 best things to do in Boston.
