Arlington Station in Boston isn't just a transit stop—it's a gateway to the city's charm! This historic subway station dazzles with Beaux-Arts architecture, steps away from the cherry-lined Commonwealth Avenue's Victorian brownstones. A short stroll leads to Boston Public Garden, where swan boats and the "Make Way for Ducklings" statues whisper childhood magic. Named after Arlington National Cemetery from the Revolutionary War, the area brims with heritage. Don't miss grabbing artisanal coffee along Newbury Street—because Boston's true rhythm is best savored slowly.
