1/2 day in boston

Really depends on what you are interested in. Museum? We have plenty to pick from. History? Walk part of the Freedom Trail. Quintessential Boston? Walk through Beacon Hill, Boston Common, Boston Public Garden. Shopping? Hit the stores on Newbury Street and Copley Place. Quick tour around town? Hop on a Boston Duck Tour.

thnx for the info - we were planning on doing this the wkend of memorial day. our plan was RI friday, sat morning / early afternoon in Boston, and then head to the cape - is this a bad idea w/ traffic and all? we could always switch our day trip to Boston to Mon if that would be better? we will be staying in the Cape til%26#39; Tues aft.

It really is a terrible idea on a Saturday, but you already got thst message in your other post.

ok, i%26#39;m really starting to reconsider about going to boston. seems like the better choice is to go straight from RI to the cape on sat morning. One last question, is it a terrible idea for sat b/c it%26#39;s a holiday wkend, or b/c its just for 1/2 a day? I still would like to do this sometime this summer, just maybe not that wkend.

Unfortunately, for that Sat. not to be spent sitting in traffic the entire day you%26#39;ll have to start the day super early. It is a holiday weekend, but traffic to the cape and back is tough any weekend in the summer. The earlier you can get on the road the better! If you are going to be traveling anytime in the afternoon in either direction - you%26#39;ll be wishing you had switched travel days.

Whatever you decide, enjoy your trip and be safe!
