Heading to Boston for a few days, and looking for some unmissable things to do in, or within 3 hours drive, of Boston.

Originally posted by RagnorakThe Boston Museum of Science is really great. Harvard Square and Yard are well worth a visit. I hear the Duck Tours are pretty good too, but have never been on one. If you're here during baseball season (or not), a visit to Fenway Park would be a must too.

If you're mobile, Cape Cod or the North Shore beaches (Wingaersheek/Good Harbor) are good for a trip too. Plymouth is a nice seaside town as well.
The South End is really good for dinner (bit pricy) and the Back Bay is a good area for wandering around the brownstones and seeing how the other half shop.
There are probably other things I'm forgetting too...
Originally posted by RagnorakI did forget....the North End is a great place for Italian food. There are many, many good restaurants, and you can also wander around the oldest part of town, check out the harbor and get great Cannoli or gelato there too. Also, the Paul Revere house here is cheap and worth a brief visit too.

Lovely! When are you going? I thought Dublin was so much like Boston like no city I had visited.
Make sure you visit the Public Garden (Boston Common) and have a picnic while you people watch. It's quite pretty.
The MFA (fine arts museum). http://www.mfa.org/
Elizabeth Stewart Gardner Museum: a private residence transformed to a fine art museum donated by Ms. Gardner is one of my faves.

Walk in Back Bay which surrounds the public garden if you enjoy beautiful architecture.
Visit the North End if you want tons of Italian restaurants to choose from.
Take a trip to Cambridge (home of Harvard and MIT) and just walk around Central Sq. It's very close by train and you can take in the local energy and watch the college kids run around. It is full of awesome clubs, restaurants, events and culture.
If you're really adventurous and love nature (and willing to drive under three hours, visit the White Mountains National Forest, you won't regret that trip): http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/forests/white_mountain/
