Revolutionary Heritage Byway, Battle Road Scenic Byway and Essex Coastal Scenic Byway are signed byways within 30 miles of Downtown Boston, Massachusetts.

Understand

Boston's nickname as the "Hub" makes more sense once you visit downtown. The population balloons during the day as hundreds of thousands of office workers and tourists descend on the area. The Massachusetts State Government maintains its seat in nearby Beacon Hill, but most state employees work out of office buildings around Government Center, where City Hall is also located. Downtown is home to major shopping areas, many of Boston's most famous historic sites, and plenty of major private employers.
