Boston Introduction 2 Even with so much to do and so many doing it, Boston is a relatively easy place to visit. Its historical sites are laid out in simple-to-follow walking tours, and its subway system efficiently whisks passengers around the city. (You won't need a car, which is good because driving in Boston is hair-raising, even for locals.) The most difficult part of your visit may be opening your credit-card bill: Boston can be expensive, but you'll find a lot to enjoy for each dollar spent.
