Getting Around

Fenway Park is easiest to reach on the MBTA. The Green Line stops at Kenmore and Fenway a short walk from the gates, and commuter rail trains stop at Lansdowne on game days. Rideshare and taxi drop-offs are common, but transit is usually faster than driving on a game night.

Parking

On-site parking is very limited, and nearby garages and lots fill early and can be expensive on game days. Most visitors use the MBTA or rideshare; if you do drive, book a garage spot ahead and arrive early.

Best Seats & Views

The Green Monster seats above left field are the park's signature experience. Grandstand seats behind home plate offer classic sightlines, right-field boxes can catch late-afternoon sun, and the bleachers are the liveliest and most affordable option.

Where to Stay

The Fenway–Kenmore area and neighboring Back Bay and Longwood put you within walking distance or a short transit ride of the park. Staying near a Green Line stop keeps the trip simple. Prices vary widely by date, so compare before booking.

Nearby Attractions

Jersey Street (Yawkey Way) turns into a pregame street fair, and Lansdowne Street behind the Green Monster is lined with bars. The Back Bay, Newbury Street shopping, the Museum of Fine Arts, and Boston Common are all close by.

Ballpark History

Opened in 1912, Fenway Park is the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball. It is home to the 37-foot Green Monster in left field and Pesky's Pole down the right-field line, and it hosted the Red Sox's 2004 championship run that ended an 86-year title drought.

Fan Tips

Arrive early to walk Jersey Street and see the park fill in. Join the crowd for 'Sweet Caroline' in the middle of the eighth inning — a Fenway tradition. Bring a layer for night games, as it cools off near the river.

Accessibility

Fenway offers accessible seating, entrances, and restrooms, and guest services can assist with wheelchair access and accommodations. Because it is a historic park, contact the team's guest services ahead of time to confirm the best entrance and seating for your needs.

Neighborhood

The Fenway–Kenmore neighborhood is walkable and packed with restaurants and bars, especially along Lansdowne and Boylston Streets. It connects easily to the Back Bay and the rest of Boston by the Green Line.
