7 hour layover in Boston

We have a really long layover. What can we see in a couple hours? I was thinking of a water ferry to the other side. And seeing Feneil (sp?) Hall? Any suggestions.

Good idea. You can take the courtesy bus from the terminal marked Water Transport or Dock. Then get the Water Taxi to either Rowes Wharf or Long Wharf. Cost is $10 a person or $17 round trip. The Aquarium is there and across the street is Quincy Market and Fanueil Hall. The North End and the Freedom Trail, linking many of the historical sights, is also close by. I%26#39;m sure you%26#39;ll enjoy it.

Thanks Alanm, That sounds good. You don%26#39;t happen to know if the Water taxi has storage lockers there? I was reading something like that but not sure if its still true. We%26#39;ll only have backpacks or small bags to tote around. Thanks so much




The Water Taxi has no lockers. The ';Terminal'; is rather open and the boat itself is rather small. The best bet for you is to take it with you and ask the concierge at one of the hotels on the downtown side if they could store it for you. Of course, that should mean a nice tip. Try the Marriott Long Wharf, for example. The lobby is on the second floor, by the way.
