Hey everyone, I’m beginning to upload videos all over the internet about the Go Card. You can find them on Youtube, Flickr, and other popular sites. We’re not going to make you scour the web, though. I’ll post them right here! Check out this video about the Boston Duck Tours.
Those satisfied Go Card customers visited Boston all the way from Utah. They found the card online and saved a bunch of money. By the way, another hint if you want to ride on the Boston Duck Tours for free, but don’t have a Go Boston Card: bring a giant camera and tell them you’re filming for Go Boston Card. It worked for me! If you liked the video, leave a comment, or check out other Go Card videos using the video player.

We were thrilled to open the Boston Globe this morning and find . It mentions several of our attractions like the Frog Pond and the Franklin Park Zoo and also suggests purchasing a Go Boston Card to see several things in one day.

Whether your style is classic and conservative or indie and eclectic, chances are you’ll find the store in Boston to suit your style. Plus, Massachusetts has no sales tax on clothes, so go ahead and shop ‘til you drop (it counts as cardio, right?). You’ll want to save some money for sightseeing, too, so here are our picks for Boston’s best spots for bargain shopping:
- Though the flagship location in Downtown Crossing has closed for renovations, the lene’s Basement on Boylston Street in the Back Bay offers a less crowded alternative with two floors stacked with huge assortment of designer clothes for men, women, and children. It doesn’t have quite the same thrifty appeal of the Downtown Crossing location, but the selection tends to be higher quality. The Shops at Prudential Center nearby has some good finds, too.
- Need a great pair of shoes in a hurry? Head to the DSW Shoe Warehouse in Downtown Crossing. With row upon row of shoes from Kenneth Cole to Michael Kors, DSW is a shoe-lovers’ paradise. There’s also a Macy’s and several other stores within a few blocks so you won’t have to go far in those shiny new shoes!
- Garment District turns into a mob scene come Halloween, when students and hipsters from around the city make their annual Pilgrimage in search of retro prom dresses and off-beat costumes and make-up. If you’re looking for something slight out of the ordinary, hit The Garment District during their off-season. While you’re in Cambridge, check out the MIT Museum, which is in nearby Central Square.
- Second Time Around has locations in Harvard Square, Back Bay, Beacon Hill, as well as the ‘burbs. This is the place to score gently used designer duds from Gucci for Gap-like prices. My favorite finds include ballet flats, a beaded shrug, and wool trousers – each of which cost less than $20! Their color coding system means that the longer something sits in the store, the deeper the discount.
- You’ll need some nice jewelry to complete your new look, so check out So Good Jewelry on Newbury Street or in Downtown Crossing. This treasure trove of inexpensive accessories is packed with funky necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rhinestone everything.
