Some things to do include:

  • Charles River boat tour: From May to October, see Boston by boat! Enjoy a 70-minute, fully-narrated sightseeing cruise along the Charles River that will take you around the cultural sights of Boston and Cambridge.

  • Boston Public Library - Central Library: Check out spectacular paintings, tapestries, architectural details and sculpture.
