I’m looking to do a quick fly in trip to Boston this Friday, only for a couple of days.

Was wondering if anyone could share the must see and does that have been there

Thanks

Fenway Park – Guided tour, even if there's no game on.
 
Been to Boston many, many times, one of my favorite destinations. Gone there by bike and by Porter out of The Toronto Island airport. Be forewarned if you’re riding or driving , plan your arrival around rush hour, traffic is as bad or worse than Toronto. Highly recommend the Old Town hop off and on trolley tour, there’s others but they are the best. One of the stops is the USS Constitution, oldest active ship in the US Navy, it’s over 200 years old .Because it s technically active Navy ship you are required to show your passport before boarding so make sure you have it with you. Also , I can’t stress this enough, do yourself a favor and stay in the downtown core where you can walk to everything, yes hotels are pricey but worth it. If you’ve got enough time, I would highly recommend taking the high speed ferry to Provincetown on Cape Cod. It’s absolutely beautiful, but that would take up a full day to get there and return.

…also September is a beautiful month to go. July and August can be quite hot and a lot more tourists.
 
Many, many yrs ago, on a high school trip, we were advised to stay away from the "combat zone".
So, that might be something to check out?

Go down to the Wharf. Have the clam chowder in a sourdough bowl. You won't be disappointed. Then check out the galleria. Lot's of history and lore in the surrounding parks.

JFK Library and a pint at the Cheers bar. Downtown is actually a nice area to walk and shop and eat/drink.

Fenway is worth the tour. There are some nice places to eat and have a beer there too. House of Blues was enjoyable.
