So there you have my best 10 - check them out if you are looking for something to do.

If you want the Boston tourist historical experience first then do the Freedom Trail Walk which any good hotel or tour office will give you a map for. It will give you your bearings of the city. Plenty of shopping and photo opportunities of the old churches and monuments from the 1700-1800's along the way.

Another good way to see the city is to get on a bike. The trail along the river from Boston right up to Cambridge is fantastic and you can see if there are any events at "the Hatch" or take a picnic to have on the riverfront or ride into town for a proper lunch.

Shops at Newbury and Boylston St or in Harvard Square have something for everyone from op-shops to the top fashion houses and big mall at the Prudential Centre. I loved Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie for something a bit quirky.
