Four hours is not a trip. It's a layover that behaved, a conference afternoon that suddenly opened up — the day's loose change. Spent carelessly it vanishes at the hotel bar. Spent well in Boston, it holds 3 real stops, walking included, with the arithmetic already done. And given a whole day, the same streets trade up — 5½ hours of seeing instead of 3½ hours.
Neither plan here is a mood board. Every stop below is a verified attraction from our library, carrying a typical visit duration we store and check; every leg between stops is walking time estimated from the map and counted against the clock. The day runs from Boston Common to Newbury Street (Shopping) with nothing left to luck but the weather. What remains yours: pace, appetite, and the good kind of detour.

A note on the clock
Stops and their durations come from our verified attraction library — the same one behind the sightseeing-hours dataset. The sequence is computed, not curated: a stop enters a plan only after its location is independently confirmed against OpenStreetMap, stops chain only when they sit within an easy walk of each other, and walking time — estimated from map distance at a strolling pace — counts against the window. Real streets wind more than maps do, so treat the walk figures as honest approximations. "A full day" means six on-your-feet hours; meals, rides to the first stop, and evenings are yours to add. The plans cover our verified library, not everything the city holds, and they recompute weekly.
