Back over the pedestrian bridge at Community and you are at the foot of
Beacon Hill. Although antique shops, old bookstores, bakeries and coffee
shops might slow your progress south on Charles Street towards Boston
Common, you could make a right at the corner of Charles and Beacon and go
a half block to visit Cheers Pub for a nostalgic brew at the bar amid all the
memorabilia from the famed TV comedy.
Harvard Square, the House of Blues and its Gospel lunches, ethnic
restaurants and the glass-flower collection at Harvard University's Natural
History Museum available from the station at Harvard Square. The Red Line
serves the Kennedy Memorial Library, and the Green Line the long-time
home of baseball's Red Sox at Fenway Park.
To see Boston Harbor's islands, board the island shuttle at the Aquarium and
spend a day island-hopping in Boston Harbor. Fort Warren, the first of five
stops, dates to the Civil War and once held prisoner Alexander Stephens, the
Vice President of the Confederacy. Each island has walking trails, history
and, of course, a resident ghost.
Boston offers a lot for the RV visitor willing to boat, bus, or train into the city.
From the north, the commuter train makes trips from Gloucester. From the
south, Hingham Quincy, and Plymouth provide boat, bus, and train service.
Once in the heart of the city, the walkable nature of Boston will put many
attractions within reach and offer a lot to see conveniently.
