Spend some time hanging out in the country's oldest park. The 50-acre Boston Common is the anchor for the Emerald Necklace park system and is the starting place of the famous Freedom Trail. There are quite a few monuments throughout the park, and several outdoor events take place in the Common throughout the year.

Unconventionality at its finest is showcased at the Museum of Bad Art. Just like the name states, the museum is dedicated to the display and preservation of “art too bad to be ignored.” The MOBA is the only museum of its kind and holds a collection of nearly 600 pieces, and exhibits between 50 and 70 works at a time. See bad art in all forms, from paintings to sculpture, photography and more.

The Bank of America Pavilion has hosted some of the world's most famous performers on its stage. This entertainment venue has been rocked by The Beach Boys, Britney Spears, Willie Nelson, Blondie, Pat Benatar, Incubus, ZZ Top, Styx, Stone Temple Pilots, Peter Frampton, A Perfect Circle and many others.

While you're hanging out in the Boston Public Garden, take a ride on the city's signature Swan Boats. The boats are the only ones of their kind in the world and they float the waters of the Public Garden lagoon. A ride on one of these boats is the best way to see all of the attractions in and around America's first botanical garden.
