Mountainous trail near Boston, see it especially during October when the leaves are turning. Very pretty.
Go to Harvard Yard, the Harvard museums. Have cake and coffee at The High Rise Cafe on Brattle St. Go to the MIT Museum. Watch an independent film at the Kenmore Square Cinema. Go to the Central Sq nightspots - River Gods, Zuzu's, The Middle East.
Boston, apart from the Back Bay, the Common, and the Aquarium, is a bit boring and touristy. If you're from England, the historic sites won't seem very historic.
Central Sq - Harvard Sq on the subway red line
Beautiful, genteel place for a walk. On the E branch of the Green T line, so a good place to unwind after a few hours in the MFA or the Isabella Stewart Gardiner Museum.
Go to Tourist Information in the main park and pick up a Freedom Trail booklet (about $3 or $4) and then follow the trail around the city. It is clearly marked as it is a red painted line that you follow. The booklet will give you the history of Boston as you go. You can take either an hour or a whole day and get to see pretty much the whole city.
