World Cup Matches in Boston

Things to do in Boston

From iconic landmarks to waterfront strolls, Boston packs plenty to do before and after the match. Walk the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail past 16 historic sites, then wander the Boston Common and the Victorian-era Public Garden. Art lovers can’t miss the Museum of Fine Arts and the intimate Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, while families will love the New England Aquarium on the waterfront.

Baseball fan? Tour Fenway Park. For great eats, stroll the North End’s Italian bakeries and trattorias or head to the Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market area. Across the river, explore Harvard Square in Cambridge and browse its indie shops and cafes. On sunny days, walk the Charles River Esplanade, catch harbor views along the Boston Harbor Islands ferries, or check out restaurants and rooftop bars in the Seaport.

Whether you’re into history, art, or seafood with a view, Boston’s compact layout makes it easy to pack in plenty between matches.
