Things to Do Alone in Boston, Boston, Massachusetts

Boston MA in the USA is a great mix of tall skyscrapers, a beautiful harbour, and lots of amazing spots to eat and shop. If you're travelling solo, Boston is a great place to visit. It’s the perfect city to explore and there’s a real buzz as you walk around, and it’s easy to get caught up in the energy. Whether you're there for a weekend or just a day, this guide will help you make the most of your time in the city alone.

Whilst it is a bit cliché for America on your Boston solo trip, you have to try the bagels served at the South End Buttery. They have so many different breakfast choices and amazing coffee, the perfect way to fuel yourself for a day of exploring.

You can follow Tremont Street from the South End, which will lead you directly to Boston Common – the first public park in the USA.
