neighborhoods

Boston is a diverse modern city of neighborhoods. From the North End to Chinatown, Back Bay to the South End, Jamaica Plain to Charlestown, the city shows its diversity of populations, of languages, of foods and philosophies. Immigrants from every corner of the globe contribute their memories and customs to this "melting pot" community.

Getting around
Though many areas of Boston proper are easily accessible by foot, you may want to take public transportation between some of its farther destinations. The MBTA above and below ground subway service is called the "T." MBTA buses also carry passengers around the city
