Boston Attractions

Filed under: Boston Attractions, Travel — wrjih @ 8:43 pm

Go Boston Card

並不划算, 因為只限當天購買開始使用, 無法預購;也就是說, 要一大早9AM先去排隊買到Go Boston Card, 再去登記/參觀GoBoston簽約的Tour或museum。在時間&旅遊景點的方面都不是很便利。


Boston City Pass

提供9天內6個著名景點的免費參觀Pass, 但這幾個點都是要花一點時間才能”看”到東西的地方, 如果待的時間夠久, 可以考慮購買, 否則也不建議。以下為Pass中包含的6個景點:
