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.
Dag 1
Just like American Revolution, you have to start somewhere...
9:00 - 0.7 mijlen / 6 minuten - 9:07
Checkout the cute little Columbus. Or better yet checkout the Boston harbor views.
9:12 - 1.2 mijlen / 10 minuten - 9:23
Federal Courthouse is probably best looking courthouse in US. Also - don't miss the Institute of Contemporary Art building. And more harbor views.
9:28 - 0.6 mijlen / 3 minuten - 9:32
Rather bigger than your average milk bottle. Children Museum is here so watch out for clumsy parents.
9:47 - 0.7 mijlen / 5 minuten - 9:53
Cool minuscule neighborhood that almost no-one knows about.
9:58 - 0.1 mijlen / één minuut - 10:00
Stop by obligatory photo with lion. And don't miss the signs on the pavement.
10:10 - 0.9 mijlen / 6 minuten - 10:17
10:27 - 0.1 mijlen / één minuut - 10:29
This is where you buy cheese and wine for the picnic.

Larz Anderson Bonsai Collection
Don't miss little trees! Even cooler than big trees.

Picnic time. Reward yourself with best view of Boston and provisions that hopefully survived the journey from South End.

Swans and joggers.
13:28 - 0.9 mijlen / 9 minuten - 13:38
Good place to thank Mr. Olmstead for Boston's Emerald Necklace. So much cooler than this other big city Central Park.

14:00 - 3.4 mijlen / 24 minuten - 14:25

14:40 - 0.4 mijlen / 5 minuten - 14:46
You'll like this place. Foreign newspapers, street musicians, bookstores, coffee shops and once if a lifetime ability to spend some time at Harvard. Well - on the Harvard Yard.
