Boston tips

Thanks to its friendly locals, abundance of bars and one of the most famous walks in America, Boston is a city that anybody visiting the US should pencil in to their itineraries. We asked people who visited this city for tips for visiting it. Here are some advices:

Visit the bar where everybody knows your name

Go to Cheers!

Visit its parks and check out 'Beacon Hill'

Check out Boston Public Garden and Boston Common and walk around Beacon Hill too. It's a great historic neighborhood.

Enjoy free tastings, avoid some neighborhoods and visit others

Check out the free tastings at Harpoon Brewery every weekday. Avoid the overpriced unoriginal restaurants in the Back Bay and go to the South End or North End for great food.

Try this restaurant for food

- Redbones BBQ in Somerville.
- Do the 'Freedom Trail' as a pub crawl - some awesome old bars along the way!

Be aware when getting around

Remember that Boston is shaped like a pinwheel, and there are mostly one way streets. Take a few left turns and you'll be back where you started. Also keep in mind that there's always a lot of construction going on, so streets change. Don't be afraid to ask for directions.

Use the 'T'

The 'T' (Boston's train network) is cheap and easy. Use it.
