No there is nothing to see or do in Boston. Sorry.

Depends on age group of travellers, but in general I would recommend:<BR><BR>Newbury Street/Back Bay/Copley Square - shopping, dining, etc.<BR><BR>Faneuil Hall - touristy, but good for families and new visitors. Also near historical sites and "The Freedom Trail"<BR><BR>The North End - Great Italian food, The Old North Church ("one if by land...")<BR><BR>The Boston Commons - basically just a large public park, but the Swan Boats run during the Summer Months<BR><BR>Children's Museum<BR>Museum of Fine Arts<BR>U.S.S. Constitution<BR><BR>Definitely take a trip to Cambridge - home of Harvard. Great neighborhoods and fun to walk around Harvard Square, as well as visit the college itself.<BR><BR><BR>

My favorites were the Museum of Fine Arts, whale watching and the Freedom Trail.

Drive on over to the JFK Museum and Library.<BR><BR>For shopping bargains, head over to Filene's basement.<BR><BR>

If you're asking, don't bother.

Gee, think you could even BOTHER with a websearch, or even checking out the resources herewithin on Fodor's, or expending any effort whatsoever??? BOSTON is positively MAGNIFICENT with a zillion websites for recommendation on enjoying a visit to same. You COULD do a little RESEARCH.

Swan boats are in the public gardens not the Boston common. On the Charles river there are excursion boats, duck tours and gondola rides. The gardner Museum is a little gem, and you can see the empty frames still in their place where the biggest unsolved heist took place,<BR> The museum of fine arts in the same area has a great al fresco dining spot "Frazier court" . There's a french film festival starting next week. The museum of science is currebtly showing a salute to Australia. If you are her this weekend , the World's frisbee championship is on by the river. Have fun, its easy to walk in this city.<BR>
