LOGAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
The point of entry for most long distance travelers to Boston. It's close to the city and access is easy by car, bus, subway and water taxi (map shown is schematic and does not accurately reflect true distances).

DRIVING FROM LOGAN
The easiest route to Boston is through the Sumner Tunnel (Toll = $3.50). If you plan to stay at the Constitution Inn, make sure you're in the right lane so that you can exit onto North Washington St. on the Boston end. This will bring you over the Charlestown Bridge- again, stay in the right lane to make the right turn onto Chelsea St. This will bring you to the Navy Yard. Enter either through Gate 4 or Gate 5.
Return to Logan via the Callahan Tunnel (no toll), take the Logan exit and follow the signs.
An alternate route is to take the MassPike (I-90) from Logan west to I-93, getting off at Exit 23 (right to North End) and then left on Cross St to North Washington St and on to Charlestown (see map)
Of course, you can always take a cab directly from Logan. One way fare should be around $25.

MBTA BLUE LINE FROM LOGAN
Free bus shuttles take you from any terminal to the Airport Station of the Blue Line where you can board subway trains into Boston. Make sure you take the inbound (Bowdoin) train, not the outbound (Wonderland). Purchase a "Charlie ticket" at one of the vending machines at the turnstiles. One way fare is $1.70. Once in Boston, you can change to any other MBTA subway line free of charge. If you're going to the Constitution Inn, change to the Orange Line (outbound- Oak Grove) at the State Street Station and go two stops to North Station. It's about a 15 minute walk over the Charlestown Bridge to the hotel- or you can flag down a cab. Or change to the 93 Bus at the State Street Station (see map).
You can also get off at the Aquarium Station and take the F4 Ferry from Central Wharf at the Aquarium to the Navy Yard

WATER TAXI
Several water taxi options are available from Logan to various landing spots in Boston. Just board the Massport Route 66 shuttle bus from any of the terminals for a short ride to the Logan dock. For those staying at the Constitution Inn, the most convenient is the MBTA's Harbor Express that lands passengers at Long Wharf. From there you can catch the MBTA's F4 Ferry to the Navy Yard landing, which is a 5 minute walk to the hotel.

CHARLESTOWN NAVY YARD
Once you arrive at the Navy yard, finding your way around is easy. Numbered avenues run east-west and numbered streets run north and south. The Navy Yard ceased operation in 1974, when the historical portions were turned over to the National Park Service (NPS) and the rest to the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA). The NPS exercises jurisdiction over the areas immediately around Gates 1, 2, 3 and 4 which includes the historic ships and museums, repair facilities for the ships, Drydocks 1 and 2, the Commandant's House, Marine Barracks and other historic properties. The BRA has developed the eastern end of the Yard into a mix of residential and commercial uses, chiefly biomedical research carried on by Massachusetts General Hospital. Most of the original granite and brick industrial buildings have been preserved and adapted for reuse as offices and condos, and the streets have been restored with brick sidewalks and period lighting.
