Let me start by saying that this trip was a surprise. It was spontaneous. It was a freaking blast.
I tagged along with my sister, my best friend and my soul mate. Which are all, as a matter of fact, the same wonderful person.
These are the 17 things you absolutely HAVE to do while in Boston, even if it’s just for a weekend:
1. Visit Harvard
Ok, so it’s not Boston per se, but it’s Harvard. HARVARD. Or, as they say over there, HAHVAHD.
2. Walk the Freedom Trail
The streets have a differentiated brick line that literally show you the way around the important historical places that led to the Independence of the United States.
All you have to do is follow the not-quite-so-yellow-but-still-
3. Go downtown
There are some events around here, street entertainers and a lot of bustling activity. It’s a fun and eclectic experience.
4. Grab a bite to eat at Quincy Market
At first, it looks like a gigantic hallway filled with delicious goodness. And basically, that’s exactly what it is.
Quincy Market is one of the places where your only problem will be choosing WHAT to eat, because everything looks delicious.
5. Go to the docks 
The docks are beautiful, and even more so when you realize that the Massachusetts Bay is a direct connection to the Atlantic Ocean. And if you go around sunset or once the moon rises, the views will be simply breathtaking.
6. Have a Boston Tea Party
The Boston Tea Party Museum is a must when visiting this wonderfully colonial city.
And drink Tea at Alice’s Teahouse inside the museum.
7. Feel tiny beneath the gigantic flag at the Boston Harbor Hotel
Yup, that’s me. And I do feel tinny tiny.
8. Have breakfast at Henrietta’s Table
It is simply delicious. Scrumptious. And sooooo good. You’ll find it inside Charles Hotel in Cambridge. For more information, visit their webpage.
9. Visit MIT
CANCER CURING IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITY. You feel smarter just walking through its halls.
10. Get some lobster (or Clam Chowder)
We highly recommend Boston Chowda inside Quincy Market. You’ll know you’re in the right place when the line stretches out over half an hour wait.
11. Grab a beer (and a burger) at a college bar
Or pub. Or restaurant. Or whatever they call themselves these days. We went to Grafton Street Pub & Grill, and it was amazingly delicious.
If you want to know more (we kinda know you do),visit their website.
12. Pick up leaves and throw them around like an idiot
Just like that. An idiot.
13. Drink a beer at Cheers
Where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad you came.
14. Visit the State House
The capitol is a mindblowing and dazzling building you’ll be glad you didn’t miss.
15. Take a stroll through Boston Commons
Specially near sunset, this park has an amazing aura.
16. WATCH AN NFL GAME
I mean, if you get a chance. We’re huge Patriots fans, and it is worth every single penny.
17. Have the time of your life
There’s no more to say. I know we did.
Boston is an amazing place where both the past and the present live. Its colonial architechture, its urban design and its technological advancements make it a wonderful place to travel to.
And you should, definitely, keep it in your travel bucket list.
Also, have you heard of ESTA? It’s a form that you can apply for that allows you entry to the United States without a visa! If you’re planning a trip to the United States, you might want to check it out: www.estaform.org.
