When I visited Boston, I took the small boat taxis. A walk to the pier, call for a taxi and wait. The cost was $5 and nice tour of the waterfront. Check your hotel location to make sure that the waterfront taxi has landings nearby.

The "Cheers" bar (Beacon Hill), JFK Library & Museum and the Samuel Adams Brewery will DEFINITELY be part of the itinerary of my trip to Boston next summer!

Cheers is fun! Prep for a wait if you’re coming in summer. I’ve actually yet to go inside the JFK museum - everybody I know who has gone recommends it.

Hey, man. I'm going to Boston soon and wanted to check out some videos for suggestions. I really appreciate the effort you put in in making this video. It wasn't just suggestions, but you also put thought into how our itinerary would look like. Very helpful!

Great itinerary! I would also recommend View Boston in the Prudential. Watching the sunset up there is really nice! Also, kayaking on the Charles/esplanade is super nice in the summer

Great presentation - Due to take a train from Manhattan to Boston in Nov when we're over from Ireland to visit my daughter - Is it as Irish as I've heard?

I actually had this conversation yesterday: Dublin and Boston are incredibly similar to me. Of course we could pick out a ton of differences (they’re different countries after all), but in my opinion they both have a similar feel. Very interested to see if you have the same take!

While still vibrant, Harvard square was a bit better before all the chains took over. And for a mini harbor cruise, take the T’s Charlestown Ferry to the USS Constitution

The fall colors are starting to show! Check out the Boston Public Garden, or the Charles River Esplanade if you get time.

@carasmussen27 3 ай бұрын

what about Lexington and Concord. They are a few miles out of the city. Are there any tours that go out there? Great video. I would highly recommend going to see the USS Constitution. The tour guides are actually members of the US Navy.

@BreakingDownBoston 3 ай бұрын

Thank you! I do believe you can find tours to Lexington and Concord through travel sites, but in my opinion it’s a little far out for a quick trip into Boston.

It's a shame the free Silver Line was downplayed here because it is way faster and more convenient than other options under almost all circumstances. It's frequent. It merges into I-90 right at the Williams Tunnel. Once it exits it makes a quick stop at some of Boston's newest hotels (so if staying at one of those it's absolutely the best option) and then it takes a dedicated road & tunnel all the way to South Station (it's called "Silver Line Way" and Google Maps will never suggest using it). I've never seen it get stuck in traffic. Another reason it may be best- from South Station the Red Line goes directly out to Cambridge without the hassle of another transfer. People visiting a city for the new time have enough to worry about without having to figure out our ancient metro system right after landing*. *we use confusing terms like terminus station names and "Inbound/Outbound" to indicate train directions. It's pretty cruel to tell people to switch to an inbound green to park, and then from literally the center of the city take "The Outbound" (or "...what was that last thing they said- something about a wife???")

Came here to say this, also once you are in the silver line you are in the T subway system so you don't need to buy a separate ticket, I've used to to go all the way to Quincy for free

In my opinion, if you’re going to be staying in the downtown area, no. If you’re going a decent ways outside the city, yes.

@@BreakingDownBoston I'll probably stay downtown for 90% but I did want to see the Patriots stadium

@BreakingDownBoston 4 ай бұрын

If you wanted, you could take the Franklin/Foxboro line of the Commuter Rail out of the South Station. Only drawback is that the train runs every couple of hours, so you would have to time it out. Foxboro Station is at Gillette Stadium though! If flexibility is worth it for you, a rental car may be the way to go.

@diceflawless9115 4 ай бұрын

@@BreakingDownBoston Thanks for the feedback! In your opinion is Gillette worth visiting in this time of year? Is the stadium even open to the public? Is there anything worth seeing as a tourist in the off season?

@BreakingDownBoston 4 ай бұрын

I’ve only been for a game! I haven’t been able to find any information on tours, although you can go to the top of the new lighthouse, and I believe you can visit the Patriots Hall of Fame. If that interests you, your call!
