Plan your Boston experience

Boston combines historic streets, waterfront views and museum visits in a relatively compact centre. A walking route can connect several areas, but leave time to enjoy the neighbourhoods rather than treating each landmark as a quick stop.

Compare a guided history walk with a harbour trip according to the part of the city you want to understand. For excursions beyond Boston, check how much of the day is spent travelling and where the tour returns.

Check whether the route includes steps or uneven paving. For a boat experience, use the named wharf and arrival time, not simply the general waterfront area.
