Transportation
Skip the traffic and take the train! If Boston is your final destination you can take the Commuter Rail to North Station. North Station is located in TD Garden -home of the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics, concerts, and many more great events! North Station is walking distance (about 10 min) to Fanuil Hall, Government Center and the North End. Downtown Crossing, Back Back Bay and Beacon Hill are a bit further of a walk, but doable on a nice day. There are Subway (the T) options from Government Center to get to Back Bay, Fenway, etc...
