Because of its compact, historic neighborhoods and bucolic New England waterfront, Boston is probably America’s greatest walking city. Similarly pedestrian-friendly cities such as Cambridge surround it, too.
This makes the Boston region especially easy to visit and to navigate with kids, including around the holidays.
Other great metropolitan areas boast world-renowned museums, gorgeous green spaces, and zoos that keep kids coming back again and again. But in Boston and its surrounding region, everything is a bit more doable for families: The top sites are often clustered together or just a short ride away on the city’s subway, buses, and commuter rail.
