Taylor's Boston Guide

Living in Boston for a summer allowed me to get a good feel on what there is to do in the city. I love making guides of what I loved so that everyone else can have an awesome trip with some great instagram worthy spots and great food. Enjoy and email me if you have any questions.

Transportation

I basically took the T everywhere. Get a Charlie Card when you get into the city and it is reloadable like a metro card and basically will save your life! I used an app called Embark Boston and that made it super easy to get anywhere! Google Maps works well too but screenshot everything to save data and battery.

Nature

Charles River 

Great for walking or bike riding 

Christian Science Reflecting Pool

Right near a mall so grab food and eat here!

Also great to sit and read a book near by!

Cape Cod

Take a day trip here! I went to Hyannis but the whole Cape is gorgeous!

The North End

Near all the water and boats - so relaxing

I always bring a book and snack and just chill! 

Boston Common

I spent most of my summer here with a book and friends.

It's the most relaxing and happy place in Boston to me!
