Getting around once you're here

Central Boston is compact and best seen on foot: Boston Common is two blocks away and the Freedom Trail starts half a mile from the hostel. For longer trips, the Green Line at Boylston runs to Fenway Park and the Museum of Fine Arts, the Red Line at Downtown Crossing crosses the river to Cambridge, Harvard and MIT, and the Silver Line from South Station serves the Seaport and the airport. Our staff are happy to help plan your route. See Discover Boston for more ideas.
