Directions To Public Garden
I find that the most enjoyable way to get to the Garden
is as follows:
Take the Red Line to Park Street Station.
It will drop you off at the Boston Common.
Walk up the slope until you get to the stairs that lead you to Beacon Street and The State House and take a left.
You will now be on a wide pedestrian walkway, follow that downhill until you get to the end.
As you are walking, Beacon Street will be on your right.
Once you get to the gates you will be at the corner of Beacon and Charles
If you look over to the right, there will be a Starbucks in case you need a coffee drink, and in case you need a snack De Luca's market is just around the corner on Charles and has everything you need for a picnic in Boston's Public Garden.
After you grab your snack, head back across the street and enter the Public Garden.
With lots of places to sit, on the ground or on one of many park benches, it is a great place to bring a picnic, to feed the ducks, to see some of Boston's landmarks or to cruise the lagoon on the famous Swan Boats.
Oh, did I mention that there are many flower beds?
There is no cost to tour the Public Garden and there is a water fountain located near the Brass Ducks.
