Take the trains, Subway, it is safer and much quicker then any cabs, cars, or any other transportation in the city. It takes you right downtown and anywhere else you want to go. It is only about 4 miles, but it is a very long 4 miles by car.

Best way is to take the "T" (subway) . Boston is a nice small city where just about everything is a few steps from a T stop.
Here's how you'd go to get downtown.
At the terminal, go to ground transportation next to baggage claim. Go outside to the curb.
Take bus 11 downstairs to the subway station.
Get on the Blue line (it's only the blue line @ the station) INBOUND toward downtown (the far track).
Take it four stops to Gov't Center. Here, you're at Fanueil Hall/Quincy Market (across the street). And you can find the Freedom trail nearby as well!
But say you want to go to Fenway Park or Copley Place. Then you'd transfer at Gov't Center to the Green line, At Gov't center, go upstairs where the green line is and take ANY of the green line trains heading outbound (B, C, D, or E) lines heading to Boston College, Cleveland Circle, etc,
Take the green line four stops (Park St, Boylston, Arlington, Copley) and you're at the Copley stop! Or if you're going to go to Fenway, just take a B, C, or D train instead and go two stops past Copley to Kenmore Sq. It's less than a 5 min walk from there!
See mbta.com for a map of the subway.
Another good launching points for the freedom trail is from Park St (red line), which is also near the old cemetery, Boston Common, and North Church.
Harvard Sq, Harvard, and MIT are also on the red line as well
Have fun!

Everything is VERY close, just a few miles apart. It is possible to get there via public transportation, the trains go right to the air port, and so you could take the T downtown to all the tourist sites. But, it might be a lot easier to just take a taxi. It'll probably only cost $20 or less and would be a small fraction of the time.

It depends on traffic from Logan Airport, but gnerally from plane to downtown is only a matter of minutes. Have fun there. Boston is an awesome city. Yes, the subway...known locally as "the T", will get you there quickly.

Not that far. Boston is a small city... Airport to the city by car is about 10 mins. By train, maybe about 15-20 mins.
