It's easier to bike than to drive in Boston. And it's not because biking in Boston is easy. But it can be really rewarding.
One of the very few real cities in America, it has numerous bike paths and quite a few quiet streets. This tour takes you to North End, South End, along the Emerald Necklace to Cambridge and back.

Federal Courthouse is probably best looking courthouse in US. Also - don't miss the Institute of Contemporary Art building. And more harbor views.

Rather bigger than your average milk bottle. Children Museum is here so watch out for clumsy parents.

Cool minuscule neighborhood that almost no-one knows about.
9:58 - 0.1 миль / минута - 10:00
