Transportation
The easiest ways to get around Boston is on foot and by subway. Although the streets do not follow any particular pattern,
you'll find them easy to navigate. Wear comfortable walking shoes, especially for the granite paving stones you'll find in
Quincy Market and the cobblestone streets of Beacon Hill. A note of caution: be careful when walking in the city and obey all
traffic signals; Boston drivers are known for their aggressiveness.
