About North Station

Less than a mile from the heart of downtown Boston is Boston North Station, which was part of the country’s first subway. Started back in 1897, North Station was opened as the Tremont Street Subway and ran from Haymarket Square to the Boston Public Garden. Today, you can take it all over the city, and the subway services hundreds of thousands of passengers every year. The subway station has plenty to keep you busy between trains, like eating delicious food at one of its nine restaurants, shopping at one of the kiosks or boutiques, and just doing some people-watching.

Located in the north of Boston, North Station serves as one of the major transportation hubs for the Boston metropolitan area, offering service with both the Amtrak and the MBTA Commuter Rail.
