 Boston Common and Public
Garden
A must-see for all visitors during the warmer months.
The oldest public park in America. Ride the famous Swan Boats
[website], walk across the world's shortest suspension bridge and
generally enjoy the park with its shady trees, fountains, statues,
sidewalk vendors, and greenery. Visit the "Cheers" bar across Beacon St,
but be forewarned: only tourists go here. A great starting point
for visitors interested in local historical sights, or on your way to
Downtown Crossing or the Back Bay. Very nice foliage in the fall. The
area east of Charles St. is the Common, which is more open and less
manicured. The area west of Charles St. is the Public Garden, which
consists of many walking paths amid an impressive variety of
well-maintained foliage. Accessible on the Green Line from Park Street,
Boylston and Arlington stations, on the Red Line from Park Street
station, and a short walk from any other downtown station.
