The Best of Boston: 10 Essential Experiences

Charlestown Ferry
There are plenty of options to get a good view of the city skyline, but locals have recommended the Charlestown Ferry to me. During my last visit, I took them up on it, and quite enjoyed the ride (pun intended).
The trip is very cheap (I believe we paid less than $5 each round trip), and you get a good look at the main skyline and the North End. The ferry can drop you off at the U.S.S. Constitution, but if you want you can stay on board and just return to the main wharf. The whole round takes about forty-five minutes.
If it’s nice out, definitely take advantage of the open top deck! And keep your cameras ready for the stellar views!

How to Make Friends During Your Trip
One of the biggest fears of people who want to embark on a solo trip is being alone. They think meeting new people will be a struggle, and if they can’t find a partner to travel with, they just cancel or postpone their adventure. The truth is that with a little bit of planning and initiative, it’s actually harder to be alone than you think. The travel community is extremely welcoming and one doesn’t need to try hard to be part of it.
