Couple of them...
Grab a drink at the top of the Pru (Prudential Building, located above the Copley Mall) for a great view over Boston.
Take a stroll down Newbury St for yuppie snob-dom at its finest.
Take taxis (expensive) or the T to get around downtown, as parking is a bear.
Fanuil Hall is a part of Boston's history and should be seen at least once.

Agreed. You can also weather permitting walk the Freedom Trail, visit Old Ironsides
The Old North Church among other sites are on the Freedom Trail. You can also take guided tours. Not sure if Old Ironsides is open now but if it is it's worth it. Bunker Hill is also fun. If you like to climb, there's the steps.
Have fun. I'm heading to California and Arizona for 10 days business trip.

Give us a little more about your interests and preferences...
Museums? Sports? Music? Food? History? Outdoors? Shopping? Clubs?
I might tell you to visit the new Institute of Contemporary Art on the South Boston waterfront because it's cool and has a great view of the city, but if modern art's not your thing....

Some suggestions
Museum: MUST see the Isabella Stewart Gardner (near the Museum of Fine Arts so you can do that too)
Food: SOO many in Boston. Grab a zagat guide so you can narrow it down to what you want (i.e., your price/cuisine/etc.)
History: Old Ironsides in Charlestown, Paul Revere house in Cambridge, freedom trail.
