Boston is one of America's most walkable cities — the compact downtown, Freedom Trail, and waterfront are best explored on foot.

Logan Airport is just a Blue Line ride from downtown. Cycling is excellent along the Charles River paths, and Blue Bikes bikeshare is widely available. This guide covers getting around Boston.
