Taxis and ride-sharing services are also readily available. Keep in mind that Boston's streets can be difficult to navigate by car and parking can be expensive.

Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider visiting the Museum of Fine Arts, taking a whale-watching tour, or strolling through the lovely Boston Public Garden. With less time, you can still experience the city's history and culture with a shorter Freedom Trail tour or by visiting the JFK Presidential Library and Museum.
