About
Boston

Boston is a wonderful city for visitors. The downtown has historic buildings and locations, cultural institutions, distinctive neighborhoods and green spaces, most accessible by foot from the conference venue and others by subway. Some highlights that might be attractive to HLT/NAACL attendees are the Freedom Trail, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Harvard Museums, the North End, Chinatown, Faneuil Hall, the Arnold Arboretum, the New England Aquarium, the JFK Museum and Library, and whale watching tours. Logan International Airport is served by direct flights from all major and some minor US and international cities. The airport is only about 15 minutes by taxi from the Park Plaza, and also reachable by shuttle and subway. Boston is also served by Amtrak Northeast Corridor trains.
