Riding the T is the fastest way to get places in Boston, and to save some money while riding around Bean-Town, buy yourself a Charlie Card and put $20 on it. That should last you the whole day! With a Charlie card, fares are $1.40 per trip, regardless of distance.

Also, be advised that things are labeled as inbound and outbound. Inbound goes towards the city, outbound away from the city and the directions change by stop... so be alert!
Every year on St. Patrick's Day, South Boston throws a parade to honor its strongly Irish history. This event is free to attend and is a fantastic spectacle to be seen and heard! Strongly recommended!

If you go: DRESS FOR THE OCCASION! THe weather is crazy in Boston and can go from cold to decent to snowing in 20 minutes. Such was the case for me and my girlfriend. Dress in layers and bring plenty of batteries and film! Also, some money for souvenirs and beer would be advised

During the night time, Southie can be a rough neighborhood, and stealing someone's parking spot will often net you four flat tires!
