Hey readers! Today I am sharing all of my favorite things to do in Boston. If you are attending the AOTA Conference in March, you may have extra time to explore the city. In case you missed my previous OT Conference guides, check out this tab on my blog! Again, I want to remind you that this is March in New England. I am hopeful that it is on the warmer side, but it is very possible that weather will not permit some of these activities. If you go to any of these places, post a picture and tag me on Instagram! Have fun!
Historic Landmarks
Freedom Trail – Explore historic Boston on the 2.5 mile trail. Start at the Boston Common and end at the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown!
USS Constitution – Hop aboard this historic ship and tour the museum in Charlestown.
New England Holocaust Memorial – View this memorial that is meant to be a beacon of memory and hope.
Paul Revere House – This historic site is fully accessible! See the house where Paul Revere lived, the man who warned Samuel Adams and John Hancock that the British were coming.
Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum – Check this out for a multi-sensory, interactive, live experience from the Revolution.
Old North Church – This is Boston’s oldest church! It is famous for Paul Revere’s ride and the saying “one if by land, two if by sea.”
Granary Burying Ground – Part of the Freedom Trail, this cemetery holds the burials of historic figures such as John Hancock, Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, James Otis, the Franklin family, and Robert Treat Paine.

Exploring the City
Faneuil Hall – Enjoy shopping, dining, and more!
Boston Public Garden & Boston Common – Two of my favorite places in the city, the Boston Public Garden is a beautiful location for a picnic and enjoying the city views. In the spring, enjoy beautiful flower gardens and a swan boat ride. The Boston Common, located across the street from the Public Garden, is home to tennis courts and baseball fields. Enjoy the green space and dogs playing!
Newbury Street – My favorite dining and shopping destination in Boston.
Theater District – Home to beautiful theaters such as the Boston Opera House and Emerson College’s Cutler Majestic Theater.
Fenway Park – America’s most beloved ballpark!

Walking & Biking
Charles River Esplanade – If we are lucky enough to have a warm weekend in March, the Esplanade is another one of my favorite places in Boston. Enjoy a bike ride or walk along the Charles River.
Commonwealth Avenue – Commonwealth Avenue, from Kenmore to the Boston Public Garden, may take the cake for my favorite place in Boston. I love going for walks along this beautiful tree-lined brownstone street.
Lawn on D – This may not be open in March, but I still wanted to include it. This is a really fun spot to play lawn games, enjoy music and drinks, and ride light-up swings.
