We are hoping to start at Bunker Hill and work backward on The Freedom Trail. If I take the T to the community college stop, map quest says that it's a 13 minute walk to Bunker Hill. However, it looks like a highway is in the way ... is that the best way to get there if that's where we want to start or is there a better way to travel there? Thanks!!!

I’ve never used the trolley to get around because I prefer to walk or use the underground. It’s a very walkable city. The USS Constitution is close to the Bunker Hill Monument and takes about 10 minutes to walk. Have a great visit.

The monument is 294 steps. Assuming you and your party are in reasonably good health the round-trip is under 30 minutes - it will depend on how much time you want to spend enjoying the view from the top! I have never toured the museum, but there are restrooms inside - always good to know where the restrooms are located!
