Getting Around

The most popular way to get around Boston is with your own two feet. The city center is compact, and many of the historic attractions are located around the state house and Beacon Hill. If your toes get tired or you're heading to points outside downtown, hop on 'the T', which is Boston's subway system. The Red Line and Green Line can take you almost anywhere you'd want to go.

Best time to Visit

The warmest, and most popular season for tourists, in Boston runs from July through August. Outsmart the crowds by coming in fall instead and you'll enjoy tons of benefits. Not only will the streets and attractions be less busy, the fall foliage will be in full swing, with the city looking its very best. The stunning and seriously envy-inducing photos you'll get will make it well worth braving the slightly chillier temperatures.

What to Pack

The weather conditions in Boston can be a little bit unpredictable, so it's good to pack for all eventualities. Here are some items to take no matter what season you're traveling in:

  • Practical shoes: To see Boston's historic streets properly, you're going to need to explore on foot. So make sure these shoes are made for walkin'.
  • Layers, layers and more layers: A sweater and jacket is a must at any time of year, as the weather is prone to sudden changes.
  • Umbrella: As mentioned, the weather in Boston has a mind of its own. So even if the sun is shining in the morning, it's wise to be prepared for a shower in the afternoon.
