Downtown Loop Trolley
Hop-on hop-off for the historic district without the tour-bus price tag.
Ride this if: you're doing the Strand + harbor + Postoffice Street and the July heat is winning.
The route
Short loop through the historic downtown core: the Strand, Postoffice Street, the harborfront at Pier 21, and the cruise terminal edge of downtown.
