Boston Ultimate 2-day Guide/ The Perfect 2 Day Itinerary
Besides being known for its popular baked beans, Boston is overall one of the most unique cities in America. With it’s strong English and Irish influence, you walk around the old city and in certain areas feel like you went back in time. Full of beautiful parks, old brick architecture, cobblestone and overall rich in culture, art and charm. Did I mention they have the most delicious food?
Before going to Boston all I knew about it was the Boston Marathon, Harvard and the cool accents they have. Oh, how I was shocked to find the beauty it truly carried. Fun fact, Boston is a city of firsts, they had the first public school in 1635 named Boston Latin, the first public beach, the first public garden in 1634 Boston Common, and the nation's first subway system in 1897 called Tremont Street Subway.

Best time to Visit
With a place that has all four seasons, my suggested time to visit would be Fall or Summer. The Autumn vibes in this city will make you fall in love. There is the colorful leaves, not as many tourists and still warm weather. You could also enjoy the beaches and parks much more in the summer.
Transportation
Did a Road Trip from Toronto to Boston (8 hours). So, make sure you’re stuck with someone you actually like haha. I love Boston because it’s just so easy to get around. It's the perfect size to walk around the best places on foot.
Stay
Battery Wharf Hotel Boston Waterfront- A former Fairmont Hotel, so the room was beautiful. The bathroom especially was my favorite.
Day 1
1. Delicious meal at Nando Restaurant
Starting in the North end of Boston, this area is jam-packed with amazing restaurants, a great area to head to for dinner. I had the most delicious memorable meal here. The large open window gave an indoor, outdoor feel and I could enjoy my meal and wine while people watching, as the beautiful streets were packed with people.
2. Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum
Isabella, an intelligent energetic elite, was the creator, founder and homeowner of this beautiful Museum. She was a worldwide art collector, and collected masterpieces that would later be displayed in this museum.
Right before she passed, listed in her will she requested one thing. The pieces remain completely untouched. This wish was disrespected after the most famous art heist occurred at the museum. Still unsolved, and the frames still missing the work of art that belonged to it.
Walked around to the cutest areas
3. The Christian Science Plaza
Stumbled upon this beautiful water fountain at the Christian Science Plaza.
Took pictures in the lobby and enjoyed the beautiful architecture and interior design. I love me a Fairmont.
5. Boston Public Library
Shhhhh.
6. Acorn Street on Beacon Hill
Did some shopping near Copley Square Garden - Went to Zara and later got a blue colored latte (wish I remembered the name) as a reward for all my walking so far.
Acorn Street is known to be one of the most photographed streets in all of America. Had to see what it was about. I loved the cobblestones, reminded me of Europe. I also loved exploring the cute nearby neighborhoods.
7. Boston Public Garden & Boston Common
Visited the oldest city park in the United States. Boston Public Garden adjacent to Boston Commons is more aesthetic I would say. The garden has gorgeous paths, fountains, trees, a huge pond and more.
8. Seafood restaurant Rabia's Dolce Fumo
First, I wanted to go to Neptune Oysters but there was a long line which we waited in but gave up after we realized there was another oyster spot couple stores down. No regrets, the oysters and massive seafood platter (that required a bib) was well worth it.
Day 2
9. Fenway Park
Red Sox Stadium. Fenway Park is the oldest major league ballpark still in use. History and nostalgia for Boston natives are heavily associated with this stadium.
10. Visit to Harvard University in Cambridge
I wanted to feel like I belonged so I wore a backpack to feel like I just came from class, although campus was closed :) Went to a couple stores and bookstores and enjoyed the overall ambiance and aura the streets gave.
11. Pinocchio's Pizza
Famous Sicilian Pizza shop where Mark Zuckerberg was a regular at before dropping out of Harvard. Pizza was actually really good and just what I needed after a lot of walking.
