Boston Itineraries: Plans That Fit The Time You Have

Romantic Boston Itinerary

Boston is romantic because it is compact, waterfronted and walkable at night: the harbor sits minutes from 19th-century brick lanes, the North End packs candlelit Italian dining into a five-minute walk from downtown, and the whole spine of the city, from the Common to the river, is strollable in an evening.
