And now for the good news: you can still see a whole lot of the city because Boston is quite a walkable city. In fact, it is the third most walkable city in the US<\/a> and holds a walkability score of 82! It\u2019s really no wonder that it\u2019s been dubbed \u201cThe Walking City.\u201d<\/p>\n Therefore, if you do only have two days to see Beantown, you will have to make some sacrifices, but you can still see plenty, especially if you follow our guide to having the perfect 2 days in Boston.<\/p>\n Experts Tip:<\/strong> There are plenty of free things to do in Boston<\/a>, so you don’t have to break the bank during a weekend away.<\/p>\n Fun fact for you: Dunkin Donuts started in Quincy, which is just down the road from central Boston! This fact alone alludes to the locals\u2019 love for the beloved coffee bean (this really adds a second reason for it being nicknamed \u201cBeantown,\u201d in our opinion).<\/p>\n Before you start your first day of exploring, be sure to do as the locals do and get a cup o\u2019 joe. Head to either the nearby Dunkin or up your coffee game by trying your nearest Tatte Bakery & Cafe<\/a> or Thinking Cup (165 Tremont Street)<\/em>, two of the best coffee shops in Boston<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Freedom Trail<\/a> is the best place to start your sightseeing adventure as it is the most efficient way of seeing the significant historical landmarks in the city. This 2.5-mile-long walking trail has its starting point at Boston Common and ends at Bunker Hill Monument. You can even eat your way through the Freedom Trail when you join our Best of Boston food tour<\/a>!<\/p>\n The 16 authentic and historical stops along the trail include the following in sequential order:<\/p>\n When you do intend on following the Freedom Trail, make sure that the indoor sites you\u2019d like to see have visitor hours that correlate with your trail-blazing time. Allow yourself at the very least a couple of hours for the entire trail as well.<\/p>\n After you finish up the Freedom Trail, be sure to either explore Charlestown yourself or take a taxi (Uber and Lyft are your best options) or the subway (called \u201cthe T\u201d) back into the downtown area.<\/p>\n Right next to Boston Common lies Boston Public Gardens<\/a>, which are the oldest botanical gardens in the United States. These beautiful gardens feature a quaint pond (which turns into an ice rink in the winter), swan boats, an enamoring bridge, and thousands of vibrant tulips in the spring.<\/p>\n One of the must-see features in the Public Gardens is the \u201cMake Way for Ducklings\u201d statues, which feature a wandering duck family. These statues are easy to love for both children and adults!<\/p>\n Wind down your exploratory day with a short walk through the historical North End, which is also named Boston\u2019s Little Italy. Stroll through the windy, snug cobblestone streets and top off your busy day with some of the best Italian dishes in the city.<\/p>\n Slurp up some heavenly spaghetti or other Italian favorites at nearly any place you find, but you should certainly highly consider doing so at The Daily Catch<\/a> (sensational Sicilian-style food), Carmelina\u2019s<\/a>, Neptune Oyster<\/a>, Bricco<\/a>, and Table<\/a>.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget to treat yourself to something sweet from either Bova\u2019s Bakery (134 Salem Street, Boston, MA 02113)<\/i>, Modern Pastry<\/a>, or Mike\u2019s Pastry<\/a>!<\/p>\n Boston Duck Tours<\/a>, cruises, kayaks, Codzilla<\/a> high-speed boat\u2013 any way you can and want to do it, we highly recommend you hit the harbor. Boston Harbor is a significant sightseeing point in the city and is a highly historical body of water.<\/p>\n After cruising on the high seas (sort of), you\u2019ll likely have a hankering for some fresh seafood\u2013and Boston is an excellent place to indulge in such.<\/p>\n The Barking Crab (88 Sleeper St, Boston, MA 02210)<\/i>, Atlantic Fish Co.<\/a>, Neptune Oyster<\/a>, Saltie Girl<\/a>, B&G Oysters (550 Tremont St, Boston, MA 02116)<\/i>\u2026the stellar seafood venues are endless.<\/p>\n Now for one of the most quintessential Boston things to do: visiting the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum<\/a>. This entertaining and educational floating museum is one to not be missed as visitors can learn about the Boston Tea Party, which occurred on December 16, 1773, with the assistance of live actors and interactive exhibits!<\/p>\n When in Boston, do as the Bostonians do\u2013 watch the Sox play at Fenway Park! And don\u2019t worry: you won\u2019t break the bank doing so. You can find pretty cheap seats available, especially when you consider the bleacher seats!<\/p>\n Afterward, be sure to go bar-hopping outside \u201cAmerica\u2019s most beloved ballpark\u201d for the full, local experience!<\/p>\n Is there no game on when you\u2019re visiting? No problem because you can also enjoy a guided tour of Fenway<\/a> \u201cPahk.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/assets.devourtours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/jacob-licht-8nA_iHrxHIo-unsplash.jpg\")
