Nitemare Posted July 22, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Which station would be better, Back Bay or South Station? Or, does it really matter? Depends on where you are going. If you're going directly to the Cruise Terminal, South Station is much closer. If you're spending time in the city, Back Bay is usually closer. Check out a map so you can orient yourself.

Arusha Posted July 22, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 22, 2014 If you want to go directly from the train to the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal in Boston, then South Station is better (only about a mile and a half between South Station and the cruise terminal).

jcl410 Posted July 23, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 23, 2014 If you are staying in Boston (vs straight to the pier); I'd still suggest going to South Station UNLESS you are staying at a hotel in Back Bay, and you're walking. South Station is bigger, and there will be less of a rush to get off. Aloha, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
