Romantic Things to Do in Boston

Whether you live in Boston and are simply looking for a romantic place to take a date, or visiting Boston for a romantic getaway weekend or your honeymoon, there are plenty of places you can visit to set the mood for romance.

BostonHarbor Lighthouse Tour

If you are the kind of couple who enjoys nature and being outdoors than this is the tour for you. During the Boston Harbor Lighthouse Tour guests will enjoy a boat ride to Boston Islands where they will visit a working lighthouse that is the oldest lighthouse in the United States. The lighthouse on the beach of Little Brewster was the first lighthouse in the United States and is the last one remaining that is still staffed.

Once guests arrive at the lighthouse they have the opportunity to climb to the top of the lighthouse where they can enjoy some of the most breathtaking and romantic views of Boston Harbor.

Boston Gondolas

A ride on the Boston Gondolas has been called the most romantic activity available in Boston. A ride on a Boston Gondola Tour includes a ride on a classic, authentic, hand-crafted Venetian gondola along The Esplanade and into the Charles River.

All of the gondoliers have been trained in Venice, Italy and are well-versed in the history of gondolas. All gondola tours include cheese and crackers, an ice bucket with ice, and champagne or wine glasses, and at night votive candles are lit.

Upgraded tours also include a live accordion player, rich chocolates, fresh strawberries, and a dozen roses. Gondola Tours range in price from $99 for the standard fifty minute gondola boat ride to $229 for the hour long luxurious Bellissimo Gondola Tour.

Boston Horse and Carriage Rides

If you prefer to stay on dry land perhaps a ride on horse drawn carriage is more your style. To many nothing is quite more romantic than riding down the cobble stone streets of Beacon Hill or traveling past some of Boston's greatest attractions in a horse drawn carriage.
