By Foot
Boston is a walking town... and many people are discovering just how easy it is to walk to Fan Pier from so many key points of the city — the Financial District, South Station, Quincy Market and the North End are all a short walk away.
Whether you’re off to a business appointment, showing guests around our great city, or getting a little lunchtime exercise, walking on Fan Pier is not only do-able, it’s downright enjoyable. Where else can you enjoy a sea breeze and a water view as you cross the bridge or go for a run along the Harbor Walk?
Walk 5-10 minutes from Fan Pier and find yourself at any of these popular destinations:
- Post Office Square
- South Station
- Morton’s Steak House
- Quincy Market
- Rose F. Kennedy Greenway
- Legal Seafood Test Kitchen (LTK)
- Silver Line Courthouse Station
- Boston City Hall
- World Trade Center
- Boston Convention & Exhibition Center
- Salvatore’s
- HarborWalk
Designed to bring people back to the waterfront, the HarborWalk now extends all the way from Chelsea Creek to Neponset in a series of paths and observation points that take you through a richly varied landscape of parks, neighborhoods and working waterfront. Along the way, it connects to other trails and parks, including the Esplanade and the Emerald Necklace.
All in all, you can walk (run, or ride your bike) for more than 38 miles. The best part, of course, is that the HarborWalk runs along Fan Pier’s incomparable and beautifully landscaped stretch of curved waterfront park to Fan Pier Marina. It will always be easy to take a leisurely walk, go for a serious run, or simply relax on a park bench and watch others go past as the sunlight glitters on the water.
