Boston Guide
Getting Around
Much of the pleasure of visiting Boston comes from being in a city built long before cars were invented. Walking around the narrow, winding streets can be a joy; conversely, driving around them can be a nightmare. Be particularly cautious in traffic circles known as "rotaries": when entering, always yield the right of way. If you have a car, consider parking it for the duration of your trip and then get around either by foot or public transit – a system of subway lines, buses, and ferries run by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA, known as the "T";
