Would I recommend Boston for a long weekend? Absolutely.
I just got back and I'm still a little smitten. A game at Fenway Park was the highlight for me. There's something about that old ballpark, the crowd, the history in the walls, that you just don't get anywhere else. Even if you're not a huge baseball person, a Red Sox night is worth it for the atmosphere alone.
The rest of the trip was mostly wandering, which is my favourite way to see a city. Back Bay and those brownstone streets are so pretty you'll keep stopping to take photos. Boston Common and the Public Garden are right there when you want to slow down for a bit, and the food was genuinely good everywhere we ended up.
What surprised me most was how much we packed in without it ever feeling like a march from one sight to the next. Everything's close, walkable, and easy to string together. A few days felt like plenty and not rushed.
Have you been to Boston, or is it on your list?
