5 days in Boston Itinerary

Rich in museums, restaurants, shops, and historical sites, Boston attracts over 16 million visitors each year. New England's largest and most influential city, Boston ranks among the world's major centers of education and culture.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Captain Jackson’s Historic Chocolate Shop and the Printing Office of Edes and Gill and Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. Head to Boston Public Market and Old South Meeting Housefor some retail therapy. There's still lots to do: admire all the interesting features of Castle Island, examine the collection at Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate, take in nature's colorful creations at Arnold Arboretum, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at King's Chapel.
