Boston

Explore Boston

Most Boston hotels sit in Back Bay, Downtown, and the Seaport, all within a few miles of each other. Whether you're here for a Red Sox game, a Celtics or Bruins night at TD Garden, or a college visit, you'll find a compact city with the subway (the T) and Logan International (BOS) close by.

The 2.5-mile Freedom Trail links 16 historic sites, from Boston Common and the Old State House to Paul Revere's House in the North End, where cannoli and red-sauce Italian restaurants line Hanover Street. Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market sit steps from the waterfront.

Across the Charles River, Cambridge offers Harvard Square and MIT, a short Red Line ride from downtown. In the other direction, the Seaport has become Boston's newest district, with harbor views, the Institute of Contemporary Art, and the convention center.

Climate & when to visit

Getting around

• Logan International (BOS) connects to South Station on the free SL1 Silver Line bus, or to downtown on the Blue Line via airport shuttle.
• The T's subway lines reach almost everywhere visitors go; downtown, Back Bay, and Beacon Hill are very walkable.
• For Red Sox games, take the Green Line to Kenmore; TD Garden sits right above North Station.
• Driving and parking downtown are expensive, and most visitors are better off without a car.
