Walking directions

Google Maps may choose a different gate or omit private indoor connections; follow the listed route notes and venue access rules for onsite hotels.
Walking from your hotel to the gates
Kenmore Square to the gates
Everything in Kenmore Square is inside a ten-minute walk of the ballpark. The natural approach funnels down Brookline Avenue, which is closed to cars roughly two hours before first pitch.
- 1Head down Brookline Avenue towards the Citgo sign.
- 2Cross the Mass Pike bridge — Gate B is on your right.
- 3For Lansdowne gates, continue past Gate B and turn left.
Note: Brookline Avenue is the single busiest pedestrian corridor in Boston on a gameday. Add five minutes within 45 minutes of first pitch.
Frequently asked questions
What hotel is closest to Fenway Park?
Hotel Commonwealth, a two-minute walk from Gate B down Brookline Avenue with one crossing.
Can you walk to Fenway from downtown Boston?
It is roughly 35–40 minutes on foot from Downtown Crossing. Walkable in fine weather, but we only list hotels within a short, confirmed route from a gate — downtown properties are not included.
Our walkable-only rule
Every hotel on this page has a continuous pedestrian route from a Fenway Park entrance: sidewalk, plaza or covered walkway, with no freeway crossing and no shuttle. Anything beyond roughly a 15-minute walk, or separated by a highway, river or rail corridor with no crossing, is excluded — however close it looks on a map.
