TypeCon 2017 Walking Guide to Boston

Cover art features an illustration of the iconic statue dedicated to Make Way for Ducklings, a classic children’s book set in Beantown. Designed by Nancy Schön and located in the Public Garden, the ducks are local celebrities, and are typically dressed up for holidays and the playoffs. There’s even a parade in their honor on Duckling Day.

Welcome to Boston!Since 1630, Boston has been one of the country’s most rebellious cities. Here you’ll find a spirit of independence that transcends generations, and a culture of innovation that has inspired the best and brightest minds for centuries.

Boston is one of the most walkable cities in America, so be sure to wander the countless parks, visit landmarks such as the Old North Church and Fenway Park, and get lost amidst the cobblestone alleys and brownstone row houses of Boston’s neighborhoods. Boston has some of the best restaurants in the country, not to mention world-class cultural institutions like the MFA and New England Aquarium. And throw Cambridge some love too! From Harvard to MIT to artsy Central Square, the People’s Republic is a unique city unto itself.
