Amtrak Downeaster Adventure – Boston, MA
Boston, Massachusetts
The Amtrak Downeaster Rail begins in Portland, Maine and ends in Boston, Massachusetts. In between there are stops in Old Orchard Beach ME, Saco ME, Wells ME, Dover NH, Durham NH, Exeter NH, Haverhill MA, and Woburn MA. For this series of articles I will expound upon the merits of each stop along the Downeaster Amtrak tour.
We have finally reached the end of our Downeaster Adventure! The Boston North Amtrak Station drops passengers right off on the first floor of the TD Banknorth Garden, home of the Boston Celtics and the Boston Bruins. Within walking distance are the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, the North End, the Museum of Science, and many other Boston attractions. This is a FANTASTIC option for a quick weekend getaway in New England – take the train to Boston, book a nearby room overnight, walk everywhere you want to go, and take an easy cab ride to those places outside of walking distance.
