You step off the T with a QR code in your phone and the city unspools: brick rowhouses rubbing shoulders with glass towers, the harbor breathing salt and history into every gust. The Boston Explorer Pass hands you choice—pick two, three, four or five admissions and build a day of science halls, sky‑high observation decks, or a narrated harbor cruise that points out the working port and the oldest lighthouse still in service.
