For those looking for something more adventurous, Kennebunkport is a 30-minute drive and Portland is a 45-minute drive. They both offer museums, galleries, places to eat and drink, sites to see, plenty of shopping, and a bounty of natural Maine wonder.
Needless to say, Boston is the best city. You can walk or take public transportation from one end of the city to the other, and across the Longfellow Bridge into our beloved neighborhood of East Cambridge. We recommend walking along the Charles River Esplanade, strolling through Beacon Hill to the Boston Common and Public Garden, shopping on Newbury Street, stopping for a beer at Trillium in the Seaport or Lamplighter in Cambridge, exploring the Freedom Trail, and eating Italian food in the North End – among countless other things to do!
