Things To Do
Getting Around: MBTA
Use Boston's public transit system to get around the area while you are in town. If using Google or Apple maps, select the "Transit" option to navigate to your destination. Newly added "tap to pay" on buses and at train stations makes paying your fare easy as can be! Uber and Lyft are also easy to come by to get around!
Harvard Square
Walk through the historic campus, visit the Harvard bookstore, and stop by some of our favorite spots for a drink or quick bite - Shay's, Lou's, Felipe's. Definitely worth a stroll to the Charles River to take in the iconic Harvard bell towers.
Boston Common
Stroll through Boston's "Central Park", take in the Christmas lights, and ice skate on the frog pond!
Beacon Hill
Walk through this charming neighborhood of Boston to view classic brownstones and peruse quaint shops.
Emmets
You can't visit Boston without going to an Irish pub! One of our favorites with a cozy atmosphere and a delicious Irish coffee.
Harpoon Brewery & Beer Hall
Located in Boston's Seaport, visit this Boston-based brewery for a pint and/or a guided tasting!
Snowport Holiday Market
A festive pop-up market in Boston's Seaport. Beware - a line tends to form pretty quickly after opening hours so would recommend going early!
