Help!!!! Hubby n I are in Boston today on the Granduer and we need suggestions on something to do that is with in walking distance of the Black Falcon terminal. Last time we were here we did the Salem witch excursion and didn't see anything else.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Harpoon Brewery

 

Fort Independence at Castle Island Park

 

Institute of Contemporary Art

 

Even better, get an uber or lyft and see the North End and have a great meal. Uber or lyft to Charlestown to see the USS Constitution.

For a great overview the hop-on trolleybuses are great

Just the right level of sights and (live) commentary, and you'll hopefully have time to hop off at a couple of stops.

There's a stop near the pier, folk at the cruise terminal can point the way.

 

Have fun

Sometimes DW and I just take the long walk (around a mile) to James Hook and Co. where we enjoy lobster or a lobster roll for a nice lunch. Eating at a picnic table in their parking lot is kind of unique...but you will not find better lobster anywhere.

You have not replied to anyone's suggestion and I see you are logged on right now. Did you find something to do today or are you back on the ship already?

 

Well, you just logged off. Personally, I would have thanked everyone for taking the time to try and help you, but that's just me.

I'll suggest the Hop-on Hop-off in combination with freedom trail. Bus stop located 5 minutes walk from cruise terminal.

Here is a link my review from the Boston stop with map's and also videos from the day from the bus ride and the walk.

Enjoy your stay in Boston.

This is wonderful! I just "book marked" it to save for future reference. Thank you for sharing.
