Downtown Boston: a ChezGrey Guide

Walkable from Aquarium Station

Four train stations, Aquarium Station (blue line) and Government Center (green line), State Street (orange line) and Park Street (red line), surround a walking neighborhood that you can spend the day in. You can easily get by foot from one station to another and do everything on this page on foot, if you are a big walker.
This is the easiest hopping off point on the Blue line, and just a 10 min ride from Orient Heighta Station in East Boston.

Your day/week paper passes “T” get you a free ferry to Charlestown and the USS Constitution. This is also where you catch a day ferry to Provincetown, the Harbor Islands, or Hull–even a whale watch. You can also grab a water taxi to nearly anywhere in the harbor. It’s the easiest way to get to the Seaport area.
