Winters can be cold, with snowstorms common from December to March. The best times to visit are during Spring (April\u2013June) and Autumn (September\u2013November) when the weather is moderate and ideal for sightseeing.

For longer distances, Boston offers a comprehensive public transport system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b18_p\">Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) operates the oldest subway system in the United States, known locally as the \u2018T\u2019.

We recommend that you book in advance as it is often cheaper and if you are caught on the trains without a valid ticket you will be fined.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b21_p\">The nearest taxi stand is in front of EC Boston (on the opposite side of the street). Taxis can be booked in advance. Always make sure you take a taxi with a license plate number, which is located on the back of the taxi and if you are not sure, do not use them. Taxis to\/from Logan airport will include extra \u2018toll\u2019 fees and airport charges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"tplpdf_p2_main_b22_b has-large-font-size\"
