Boston Hotels

Boston's 'T', one of the oldest subways in the country, is the best way to get around the the Boston-Cambridge area. If you're not in a rush, the city is made for walking, with urban heritage paths and lots of green. Ferries cross Boston Harbor, but it's more an excursion than an option for getting around. Cars are not really a great idea for within the city - it's a bit of a nightmare to navigate for out-of-towners.

Amtrak trains will speed you to Boston (there's one from New York that takes only three hours - but it's pricey). The bus station is conveniently situated to give easy access to the city. Logan International Airport, Boston's major air hub, has good connections.
