  • What’s your favorite way to enjoy a Go City Pass in Boston? My favorite way to enjoy a Go City pass is with my friends and family. I love showing the people who are closest to me my favorite things to do and see in the city, especially if they’re first-time visitors!
  • What’s on your must-see list for Boston? View Boston Observatory is a great way to get a bird’s eye view of the city, with great views of Fenway Park and the Charles River. Given the history, a harbor cruise is another can’t-miss experience in Boston. Lastly, there are so many incredible museums in Boston; don’t leave without checking out the impressive Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. 
  • What activities included in the pass do you think are underrated and should be explored more? My favorite under-the-radar experience is the How Do You See The World? Experience with the MappariumTM Globe. The Mapparium is really unique, and the plaza is a great place to relax for a bit after sightseeing all day. 
  • What’s your best tip to make the most of your pass in Boston? You can see and do a lot more when you plan your day in advance. Also, don’t be afraid to use the T to get around town.
  • What is the biggest mistake you think a visitor can make when visiting Boston? Not getting out of the city center. Take the train up to Salem for the day, rent a car and drive down to the cape or over to Concord. Experience more of what New England has to offer!
