If you are a museum person or even if you are not I would recommend the MFA and the Isabella Stewart Gardener museum- they are very close to one another as well. Shopping inside the Prudential/Copley mall, walking down Newbury st. Just trying to think of inside ideas for the most part

Just want to second this, even if you're not an art person go to the Isabella Stewart Gardener museum. There's no other museum like it.

Even if not an Art person, there's plenty to see in the MFA too - statues & other relics from Antiquity.

I agree the MFA is cool, but I'm about as not an art person as there is and I still think the Isabella Stewart Gardener is absolutely a must see above the MFA.

...but maybe that's just because I definitely am a plant person

The Gardner ‘museum’ is exceptional. It’s an amazing experience and I’d budget several hours. Adding my vote

Well, I've never gone to the ISG; I guess I'll have to correct that someday. :)

Thank you! The museums didn’t come up at all in my searches shockingly. Shopping indoors makes a lot of sense that time of year, adding Copley to the list!

Don't be surprised if the weather is surprisingly warm, also Faneuil Hall is pretty cool with of the history and the Boston Commons across the street is the Bull & Finch which if she liked Cheers the Bar that it was based on

This is great info. We’re coming from Atlantic Canada so we’re used to cold but weren’t quite sure how Boston winter is comparable! I’ve always heard it’s frigid cold

The Copley Plaza Mall and the Prudential Mall are connected. You can easily walk between them without going outside.
