Boston is an easily walkable city. The best place to stay is in the downtown area, centred around Copley Square. Here you are at the centre of the shopping and tourist zone. There are 2 large malls, all indoors, and the boutique lined Newbury Street, as well as the tourist attractions of the Library and Boston Common, a perfect place to take a sandwich lunch. At the top of the Boston Common is the start of the Freedom trail, a red lined walk which takes you past many of the historical attractions of Boston, though a lot of them are based around an American view of throwing out the British.
Other Boston attractions worth seeing are the Waterfront with the cool aquarium, and the university district of Cambridge with MIT and Harvard. Be warned that driving and parking in Boston is not fun, and is best to use the metro. Parking in Boston will run to $30 a day in a lot. Street meters are only free after 8pm and on Sundays.
