On your doorstep

What you’re living next to if you stay here.

• 5.Fenway Park — The oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball, home of the Red Sox since 1912, with its quirky angles and the towering 'Green Monster' wall. Catch a game or take a tour; there's nothing else quite like a night here.
• 8.Museum of Fine Arts — One of the great encyclopaedic museums of America — vast Egyptian, Asian and Impressionist holdings and a famous collection of American art. A superb half-day, and a warm refuge on a cold or rainy afternoon.
• 9.Harvard & MIT (Cambridge) — Cross the Charles to the world's most famous university town — Harvard Yard and its bookshops, MIT's bold modern campus, and the cafés of Harvard Square. Wander the quads, rub John Harvard's shoe for luck, feel very clever.
• 13.Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum — A Venetian-style palazzo built around a glorious flowering courtyard, hung with a personal collection exactly as its eccentric owner left it — including empty frames from the world's most famous unsolved art heist. Intimate and unforgettable.
