Visited in the summer, the T (trains) were pretty regular and not as delayed as NYC trains (max 15 min delay one time in my 3 month internship). Harvard yard, Boston Commons, all the trails are lovely. I traveled around at most hours of the day and it was relatively quiet/calm the entire time. If I had extra time I'd love to check out Salem!

I went there to few days to commemorate my birthday. I did couch surfing at the moment. Was in 2015. Was really nice the experience. I really recommend! The weather wasn’t the best one, but if you have good clothes can be fine.

My experience was amazing in Boston, I spent there two nights It’s very safe and people are friendly, it’s a little bit expensive in food and activities but there’s lot of public places that you can visit and enjoy for free I had the best seafood there, many parks around and amazing clubs
Posted: May 16, 2024I found that Boston was a very clean city. It was bustling with students, and there was lots of great music. I did not stay long as I was just passing through on a solo road trip however, I do feel as if I could live there! Very lovely architecture and I didn’t find the driving too bad.
Posted: March 4, 2024I went alone about a month ago, and the people were very nice and friendly. It was one of the easiest cities to tour solo. I spent 3 days eating and drinking.
Posted: October 24, 2023You should go down the Freedom Trail, it will guide you through the city and past many historical sites. There are pleasant shops on Newbury St., some of them are a bit expensive, but it's a great neighborhood with a good selection of restaurants. Select Oyster Bar is a great place with a nice bar for eating alone. Boston is my favorite city, I've always found public transportation to be safe and easy to understand.

Boston is relatively a very safe city. People are not openly friendly but will always have your back if you need it. It is very walkable and public transport is easy to navigate. Crime is low and petty crimes like theft are not common. As a woman I have never felt unsafe in Boston, although be on your guard at night time in less public areas.

While there are certain pockets of Boston that may feel a bit more unsafe than others, I have lived in Boston for over 5 years and have never had a problem in the city or felt unsafe walking alone, traveling, dining, taking public transport, etc

I'm an eclectic and open minded person who likes to explore different things and learn about everything. I'm a musician and I love everything related to art. I like nature walks, meditation, museums, but I also enjoy a night out at a bar from time to time. Always down for an adventure :)
