Additional Location Information
In the chic, historic Boston Naval Yard. Walk the Freedom trail, it starts right in the Navy Yard. The USS Constitution is a few blocks from the boats as is Bunker Hill Monument. Walk into the North End, or take the free shuttle bus to North Station and catch the Green Line and go anywhere in the city. You can also take the water shuttle and get dropped off all along the waterfront, including the Aquarium (Fanueil Hall and Quincy Market) Rowes Wharf, or even the Convention Center.
