The Harbour Islands are a series of islands in Boston that form a National Park Area. They are easily accessible via ferry and offer plenty of walking opportunities as well as beautiful views of Boston and the harbour. They're ideal for day trips, and also allow camping. See www.bostonharborislands.com for more details.

The ferry to the Harbour Islands leaves from Long Wharf near the Aquarium (Blue line) T station. Long Wharf is a short walk from Quincy Market.

Beautiful, genteel place for a walk. On the E branch of the Green T line, so a good place to unwind after a few hours in the MFA or the Isabella Stewart Gardiner Museum.

This is the heart of Boston's North End, once the Italian enclave in the region. The street is lined with cafes, bakeries and several styles of Italian restaurants - most with open air seating during the summer. Great for people watching, it connects the Financial District to Boston's harbor. A nice small park connects Hanover St to the Old North Church.

Access by Goverment Center T (subway) station.
