Culture Places Map
Culture in Boston:
Faneil Hall Marketplace
bring a water bottle! there are plenty of places to refill, and trust me, buying drinks there adds up quickly, especially on a hot day.
Museum of Science
It can get busy on weekends, so try to visit on a weekday if you can. Your experience will be way more enjoyable without dodging crowds, especially in the popular areas.
Boston Museum of Fine Arts
Harvard Square
Bunker Hill Monument
If you're planning to take photos, try to go during golden hour around sunset. The colors of the sky make for some truly stunning shots of the monument!
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Boston Children's Museum
If your kids are into water play, go straight to the ‘Construction Zone’ right when you get in. I made the mistake of saving it for later, and it was packed. We spent a good hour there!
Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum
I recommend getting there early, around 9 AM, to beat the crowds and have a more personal experience. The first tours fill up quick!
Boston Public Market
I recommend bringing a reusable bag! Some vendors offer discounts for using them, and it's just better for the environment. Plus, you'll need something for all those goodies you'll want to buy!
If you're planning to grab a bite, avoid lunchtime rush around 12-1 PM. I waited forever to get my food. Aim for around 11, it's way less crowded!
Quincy Market
If you want to enjoy some live music or performances, check the schedule. I discovered a great band by chance! But, I'd recommend looking it up ahead of time
I think grabbing a drink from one of the bars inside could save you some cash. The food prices can add up quickly, and it helps to budget a bit.
