How to Visit Boston in 2025: 3, 4, & 5 Day Itineraries

"I like spending time on Castle Island in South Boston for its Fort Independence, beaches, running trails, picnic areas, and free access to the old fort (which was once used as the first state prison); it can get busy on summer weekends but offers good seaside recreation." - Matthew Kepnes
