Good to know before you go
The currency is the US dollar and English is spoken. The efficient subway, known as the T, plus buses and commuter rail make getting around easy without a car, and much of the historic core is best explored on foot; a car is more hassle than help downtown, where parking is scarce and pricey, and Uber or Lyft cover late nights. Tipping about fifteen to twenty percent is customary in restaurants.
