History lies around every corner of this city, which was founded in 1630. Boston is best explored on foot; follow the three-mile Freedom Trail for a sampling of its most notable landmarks. The marked trail leads to 16 historic sites such as the Old North Church, the Paul Revere House and Faneuil Hall. At the trail's end, you can visit the USS Constitution, also known as “Old Ironsides.” It’s the oldest commissioned warship in the U.S. Navy. Other options: Visit one of Boston's extraordinary museums; explore Cambridge, home to Harvard (it’s just across the Charles River); or stop by the Bull & Finch Pub – it inspired the TV show “Cheers.”

Driving from Logan Int. to cruise port
(Although, knowing Boston, I would NOT assume you can reverse these directions to get BACK to the airport!)
From Logan Airport (TW Tunnel, Mass. Turnpike, I-90 Westbound): Follow signs for the Ted Williams Tunnel (pay toll). Stay to the right in the Ted Williams Tunnel. After exiting the tunnel, follow the signs for Exit 25/South Boston, keeping to the center. At the traffic lights, you will be at Congress Street. Cross Congress Street onto B Street. At the next signal, turn right onto Seaport Boulevard. Continue straight ahead – Seaport Boulevard changes to Northern Avenue – and proceed into the Marine Industrial Park. On the right is the entrance to the EDIC Garage for passenger parking.
Boston Logan Airport is located right across the harbor from downtown Boston, Black Falcon Pier, which is the cruise ship terminal is right across the harbor from Logan Airport in South Boston connected to the airport through the Ted Williams Tunnel. If you get a cab from the pier it is a 5 to 15 minutes away.
