Boston in the Fall

Boston

I recently had a layover in one of America’s oldest cities! It was the perfect time to visit Boston because it’s early fall and so the weather was perfect! It also wasn’t super crowded with tourists like it is in the Summer.

Because it is such a small city, it’s very easy to see the whole city in a day or two. Another flight attendant I was with and I walked everywhere and we both agreed that it was a very easy city to navigate. We rarely had to use Google Maps. There are a lot of buildings to use as landmarks and making it easy to make it back to your hotel or airbnb.

I do recommend going to a bar in Boston, even if you don’t drink. Just to pop in and look at all the memorabilia on the walls or to grab a soda. While you’re there you have to grab a lobster roll or as they say, “lobstuh” and maybe some clam chowder as well.

There are a lot of walkable historical areas as well. There’s the Holocaust Memorial that has names of 6 million people who perished. It’s a very unique memorial because steam is used to give you a sense of “showers” like they endured. There’s also the State House where the Boston Massacre occurred. Not all history is pretty but I will say it’s important. There’s also the harbor of course and it’s beautiful. The lights on the ships and sails are magnificent.

We walked maybe 8 miles that day? But it was all flat and so it wasn’t very tiring. We would stop along the way at coffee shops like Tatte and grab fresh pastries and coffees! Also did lots of shopping along the strip.

We ended our day at the Boston Common park where you can see lots of dogs, street performers, the statues of the ducks, a pond, and the infamous bench from Good Will Hunting. Overall, a wonderful city!
