3 Days in Boston
Colonial History, Contemporary Art, and Fresh Seafood

August 29, 2024
This waterfront city is full of historic firsts and landmarks that predate the American Revolution. So it’s no surprise that one of the most popular things to do in Boston is travel back in time along The Freedom Trail, with stops including Faneuil Hall, Paul Revere’s home, and Boston Common, the first US public park. Another is visiting downtown Fenway Park, the only MLB stadium that still has a hand-operated scoreboard. Delve deeper, and you’ll uncover worthwhile contemporary attractions, preppy-chic hotels, and a pioneer spirit that lives on thanks to cutting-edge universities and a diverse cultural scene.
Compact and walkable, Boston and neighboring Cambridge are packed with appealing neighborhoods: the museum-lined harbor; the cobblestone streets and brownstones of Beacon Hill; the upscale shops of Newbury Street; and the North End with its Italian bakeries and oyster bars. Seafood is a must, and most corners of the globe are well represented at restaurants and food halls alike. When you’ve had your fill, Boston makes a great jumping-off point for a summer coastal road trip or exploring fall foliage in New England.
Start below with our recommended three-day Boston itinerary and learn about some of the benefits that you can enjoy throughout your journey when you book through American Express Travel®.

The Langham, Boston
Located in the Financial District on Franklin Street The Langham, Boston occupies a designated landmark—the original Federal Reserve Bank of Boston—and complimentary guided Heritage Tours delve into the building’s past. But it’s also kept up with the times. The Langham reopened in 2021 after a two-year makeover that introduced a new club lounge and refreshed the gorgeous 312 rooms and 17 suites, now with marble baths with walk-in showers. The flagship Italian restaurant Grana is a stunning space with sparkling chandeliers while The Fed is a more casual option for craft cocktails and British pub food. There’s also a heated indoor pool, a spa, and a fitness center with Technogym equipment and Peloton bikes.

Meals That Are Worth the Wait
Neptune Oyster
Be prepared to wait at this popular little oyster bar in Boston’s North End, where the line has been known to sneak around the corner. “All worth it,” say the devoted regulars. In addition to raw bar specialties and seafood towers, Neptune also excels at lobster rolls and Mediterranean-inspired main courses.
O Ya
If you’re in a celebratory mood, contemporary Japanese restaurant O Ya delivers with a 20-course omakase dinner that is one of Boston’s most satisfying splurges. The exquisite, flavor-packed dishes arrive one by one so that each gets its moment to be savored and appreciated.
Mike’s Pastry
Mike’s Pastry is a non-negotiable stop when in the North End of Boston (mikespastry.com). Since 1946 it has been selling a wide variety of pastries, but cannoli are the specialty. Flavors range from original to mint chocolate chip to limoncello. They only accept cash, and the line is usually out the door.
Step Back into Colonial History
Retrace important milestones from about 250 years ago along The Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile pathway marked by red bricks that goes from Boston Common to Bunker Hill. Rightfully one of the most popular activities in Boston, The Trail takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending how many of the 16 landmarks you stop to visit. They include Paul Revere’s home and Old North Church where the “One, if by land, and two, if by sea,” signal was sent. Explore more highlights below.
The oldest public park in the United States, Boston Common served as an encampment for British troops during the Revolutionary War and a pasture for cattle until the 1830s. Nowadays, the Frog Pond attracts ice skaters in winter, while theater lovers turn up in summer for Shakespeare on the Common. Year round, activities in Boston Common include picnicking, people-watching, and strolling through this 50-acre green space, crisscrossed by trails and dotted with monuments.
High Street Place
One of the newest Boston attractions is High Street Place, a vibrant food hall that celebrates local diversity (highstreetplace.com). Many of the vendors are female and/or people of color and their offerings range from globally inspired street food to artisanal desserts and craft cocktails. High Street Place also hosts cooking demonstrations, live music, and other events.
Tour Harvard and MIT
Pop quiz: where can you find Boston’s most exquisite collection of glass flowers? At the under-the-radar Harvard Museum of Natural History (hmnh.harvard.edu). It’s just one example of why you don’t need to be a prospective student or parent to appreciate a campus visit. For insights, book a guided tour that combines Harvard and MIT; stops include Winthrop Park, the Red House, and The Old Well Brattle House. Leave time to explore Cambridge, which has become a hub not only for higher learning but also for some of the Boston area’s buzziest restaurants.
Sample the Cambridge Food Scene

Oleana
Oleana is beloved for small plates packed with big flavors that reflect the culinary traditions of Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean. It’s best enjoyed in a group so that you can sample widely among the meze dreamt up by James Beard Award-winning chef Ana Sortun. If the weather obliges, you can dine out in the garden.

A meal here is a journey through diverse flavors.

Meals of handmade pasta and hearty entrees are served in a cozy setting characterized by a wood-burning fireplace and an impressive bar—equally suited to a romantic dinner or a leisurely catch-up with friends.
Immerse Yourself in Fine Art
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Modeled after Venetian Renaissance palaces, the former home of eccentric socialite Isabella Stewart Gardner makes a dazzling impression. Let yourself be charmed by the statues and greenery of the glass-encased courtyard and eventually make your way through the collection of artwork from legends like Matisse and Titian. If you notice empty frames, they are placeholders for paintings stolen in 1990—part of the greatest unsolved art theft in history.
Purchase Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum tickets online.
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
The MFA’s comprehensive collection counts about 500,000 works that take you on a journey through time and space, from ancient Nubian art to contemporary North American masterpieces to the largest collection of Japanese art outside Japan. The museum caters to all comers, including children and the disabled.

Fenway Park Tour
Since 1912, fans have poured into Fenway Park to root for the home team right in the heart of Boston. It is the oldest Major League Baseball stadium in continual use and the only one that still features a hand-operated scoreboard. Guides lead you through the hallowed walls and out on to the field itself, as they share legendary moments of Fenway Park and bring its history to life with vivid anecdotes. You can also enjoy the views from the Green Monster, a wall that overlooks left field and measures 37 feet and 2 inches tall.

Saltie Girl
This tiny 6-booth and counter seating restaurant in Back Bay has an amazing seafood menu. Dive into dishes like fried lobster and waffles, French burgundy snails, whole belly Ipswich clams, or hearty clam chowder. Don’t pass up a charcuterie plate of tender little bites of tinned fish.

Boston's Back Bay & Beacon Hill Neighborhoods
Below are some of our favorite spots to hit in the attractive neighborhoods of Back Bay and Beacon Hill, full of landmarks, restaurants, and green spaces.
It feels tranquil and inspiring inside the Renaissance Revival halls of the Boston Public Library’s flagship location, which is also our nation’s first public library. Tours shed light on its significance and highlights like murals by John Singer Sargent. The onsite café is a hidden jewel, where you can linger over afternoon tea (bpl.org).
Trinity Church has been a cornerstone of Bostonian religious life since the original Episcopalian parish was founded in 1733. The church that stands today was rebuilt after an 1872 fire and is known for its stained glass, choir, and place in popular culture (thanks to the film The Boondock Saints).
One of the sweetest activities in Boston is paying a stop at this shop and café off Newbury Street for chocolates made from responsibly sourced cocoa beans without additives. Chocolate is also on the menu, along with premium coffee and tea options. Boxes of the award-winning animal-shaped chocolates make satisfying souvenirs (burdickchocolate.com).
Greystone Cafe, Bakery, and Provisions
Mother-and-daughter duo Patty and Jacqueline named the bakery after the street on which the pair grew up, and Greystone has a homey vibe (greystonecafe.com). There are patio tables and benches where you can savor your pastries in the sun, plus a walk-up window perfect for taking a treat to go.
Browse Boston's South End Shopping District
South End is an artsy and super-chic neighborhood with beautiful Victorian architecture and many boutiques and art galleries. It’s also a hub for Boston’s LGBTQ+ community.
Amsterdam-born Natalie van Dijk has been introducing Boston to talented furniture and accessory designers since opening Lekker Home in 2003. It’s a destination for those creating a home from scratch as well as shoppers in search of a statement piece or a hostess gift. You might pick up a cozy throw, quirky candleholder, or serving dish to treasure (lekkerhome.com).
Patch NYC was founded by Don Carney and John Ross after they bonded over their love of the handmade process and vintage items. Both designers have spent their whole lives creating and crafting—and, along the way, developed an eye for selecting distinctive home décor and fashion pieces (patchnyc.com).
Michele Mercaldo is a master craftswoman who has created intricate works by hand for over thirty years. Her boutique sells her clean and minimal metal-based handcrafted creations along with those of like-minded jewelers, many of them local. As you shop, you can catch a glimpse of her workstation and take in a gallery space that showcases Boston artists (michelemercaldojewelry.com).
Get a Taste of the South Side
Myers + Chang
In the South End of Boston awaits Myers + Chang, a family-style Asian diner with a cool vibe and dumplings that keep locals coming back for more. Wok-charred noodles with black bean sauce and the ginger, garlic, and pea fried rice are other forms of satisfying comfort food. Wash it all down with homemade pineapple vodka.
Book Myers + Chang on Resy and get special access when you add your eligible American Express® Card to your Resy profile. Terms apply. Learn More.
Shore Leave
Tiki torches are a sure sign that you’re leaving New England far behind and entering a tropical paradise, aka Shore Leave, which serves up Pacific Rim-inspired plates like bluefin tuna poke and pork belly bao. As island beats play, settle into the bamboo bar with your drink of choice: citrusy and shaken or stirred and spirit-forward.

Any booking cancelled within 48 hours after the initial booking will result in a voided billing transaction. Voided billing transactions do not result in a charge or refund and will not appear on your monthly Card statement. Dates of a booking cannot be modified once made. Card Members must cancel their booking and make a new booking through AmexTravel.com; in which case, the new booking will be subject to availability, any cancellation policies and fees, any increase in the nightly rates or other fees, and any other applicable policies or fees of the Host. After cancellation, the property previously booked may not be available for subsequent booking for up to 24 hours or more.

$200 Hotel Credit: Basic Card Members on U.S. Consumer Platinum Card Account are eligible to receive up to $200 in statement credits per calendar year when they or Additional Platinum Card Members use their Cards to pay for eligible prepaid Fine Hotels + Resorts® and The Hotel Collection bookings made through American Express Travel (meaning through amextravel.com, the Amex® App, or by calling the phone number on the back of your eligible Card) or when Companion Platinum Card Members on such Platinum Card Accounts pay for eligible prepaid bookings for The Hotel Collection made through American Express Travel (meaning through amextravel.com, the Amex® App, or by calling the phone number on the back of your eligible Card). Purchases by both the Basic Card Member and any Additional Card Members on the Card Account are eligible for statement credits. However, the total amount of statement credits for eligible purchases will not exceed $200 per calendar year, per Card Account. Fine Hotels + Resorts® program bookings may be made only by eligible U.S. Consumer Basic Platinum and Additional Platinum Card Members. The Hotel Collection bookings may be made by eligible U.S. Consumer Basic and Additional Platinum Card Members and Companion Platinum Card Members on the Platinum Card Account. Delta SkyMiles® Platinum Card Members are not eligible for the benefit. To receive the statement credits, an eligible Card Member must make a new booking using their eligible Card through American Express Travel on or after July 1st, 2021, that is prepaid (referred to as "Pay Now" on amextravel.com and the Amex App), for a qualifying stay at an available, participating Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection property. Bookings of The Hotel Collection require a minimum stay of two consecutive nights. Eligible bookings must be processed before December 31st, 11:59PM Central Time, each calendar year to be eligible for statement credits within that year. Eligible bookings do not include interest charges, cancellation fees, property fees or other similar fees, or any charges by a property to you (whether for your booking, your stay or otherwise).
Statement credits are typically received within a few days, however it may take 90 days after an eligible prepaid hotel booking is charged to the Card Account. American Express relies on the merchant’s processing of transactions to determine the transaction date. If there is a delay in the merchant submitting the transaction to us or if the merchant uses another date as the transaction date then your purchase may not earn the statement credit benefit for the benefit period in which you made the purchase. For example, if an eligible purchase is made on December 31st but the merchant processes the transaction such that it is identified to us as occurring on January 1st, then the statement credit available in the next calendar year will be applied, if available. If you have transferred to a different Card at the time the merchant submits the transaction, you may not receive the statement credit. Statement credit(s) may not be received or may be reversed if the booking is refunded, cancelled, or modified. If the Card Account is cancelled or past due, it may not qualify to receive a statement credit. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as eligible, you will not receive the statement credits. For example, your transaction will not be eligible if it is a booking: (i) made with a property not included in the Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection programs, (ii) not made through American Express Travel, or (iii) not made with an eligible Card. Participating properties and their availability are subject to change. If American Express, in its sole discretion, determines that you have engaged in or intend to engage in any manner of abuse, misuse, or gaming in connection with this benefit, American Express will not have an obligation to provide and may reverse any statement credits provided to you. If a charge for an eligible purchase is included in a Pay Over Time balance on your Card Account, the statement credit associated with that charge may not be applied to that Pay Over Time balance. Instead, the statement credit may be applied to your Pay In Full balance. Please refer to AmericanExpress.com/FHR and AmericanExpress.com/HC for more information about Fine Hotels + Resorts and The Hotel Collection, respectively.
