Getting there

Planes

Boston’s Logan International Airport is one of the USA’s busiest, with regular transatlantic flights to London from British Airways, United and Virgin, as well as carriers to a number of major European and US destinations. There are regular Silver Line bus transfers to South Station – here you can hop on the subway (‘the T’) to the city centre.

Trains

The city is a major interchange for Amtrak’s east coat lines, with trains linking South Station to New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC and stations in between.

Automobiles

Boston is a pedestrian’s paradise, and often a driver’s purgatory; the city centre is tricky to navigate and parking can be both problematic and expensive. If you plan on traveling outisd ethe city, there are numerous car hire outlets at the airport, including Hertz (www.hertz.com), Dollar (www.dollar.com), and Alamo (www.nationalcar.com).
