How far is it from the air port to the sites in Boston?|168574

Like the freendom walk could and so on or the subway to get there?

Take the trains, Subway, it is safer and much quicker then any cabs, cars, or any other transportation in the city. It takes you right downtown and anywhere else you want to go. It is only about 4 miles, but it is a very long 4 miles by car.

It depends on traffic from Logan Airport, but gnerally from plane to downtown is only a matter of minutes. Have fun there. Boston is an awesome city. Yes, the subway...known locally as _the T_, will get you there quickly.

Best way is to take the _T_ (subway) . Boston is a nice small city where just about everything is a few steps from a T stop.

Here_s how you_d go to get downtown.

At the terminal, go to ground transportation next to baggage claim. Go outside to the curb.

Take bus 11 downstairs to the subway station.

Get on the Blue line (it_s only the blue line @ the station) INBOUND toward downtown (the far track).

Take it four stops to Gov_t Center. Here, you_re at Fanueil Hall/Quincy Market (across the street). And you can find the Freedom trail nearby as well!

But say you want to go to Fenway Park or Copley Place. Then you_d transfer at Gov_t Center to the Green line, At Gov_t center, go upstairs where the green line is and take ANY of the green line trains heading outbound (B, C, D, or E) lines heading to Boston College, Cleveland Circle, etc,

Take the green line four stops (Park St, Boylston, Arlington, Copley) and you_re at the Copley stop! Or if you_re going to go to Fenway, just take a B, C, or D train instead and go two stops past Copley to Kenmore Sq. It_s less than a 5 min walk from there!

See mbta.com for a map of the subway.

Another good launching points for the freedom trail is from Park St (red line), which is also near the old cemetery, Boston Common, and North Church.

Harvard Sq, Harvard, and MIT are also on the red line as well

Have fun!

Not that far. Boston is a small city... Airport to the city by car is about 10 mins. By train, maybe about 15-20 mins.

Everything is VERY close, just a few miles apart. It is possible to get there via public transportation, the trains go right to the air port, and so you could take the T downtown to all the tourist sites. But, it might be a lot easier to just take a taxi. It_ll probably only cost $20 or less and would be a small fraction of the time.
