But as the temperatures warm and the days get longer, the itch to get out and travel gets stronger. Luckily, there are a host of fun-filled day trips you can take—all without a car. Boston’s South Station—located only blocks away from One Greenway—is a major transit hub that can get you to some of New England’s best destinations.
Providence, Rhode Island is a one-hour ride on the Commuter Rail, or an even shorter trek on the Amtrak service.

Worcester, Massachusetts is served by the Commuter Rail.

Take in a minor league baseball game, catch an event at the DCU center or just enjoy getting to know another city.
