Valentine’s Day is on a Friday this year, so instead of settling for a date night, why not put together a date weekend? Celebrate love with your partner by planning a day out at a special event, or stop at numerous attractions throughout the weekend. With the Commuter Rail, you can skip the traffic on the way to your destination. Your eyes can be focused on each other rather than the road, so you’re getting quality time together as you travel.
Spend a Day in Boston

For some couples, there are few better ways to spend a day than heading into Boston. And why wouldn’t they? The city is absolutely packed with museums and historic landmarks perfect for a romantic day out no matter the weather. Just imagine strolling hand-in-hand through the exhibits of the Museum of Fine Art, Isabella Steward Gardner Museum, or Institute of Contemporary Art, surrounded by beautiful paintings, sculptures, and more.
Another option is to ride into Boston to see a live performance. Come to the city to see your favorite musician live in concert. You can rock out together, singing your favorite love songs at the top of your lungs. Or you can see a live performance of a touring Broadway play at the Citizens Bank Opera House, making your date extra special without needing to go all the way to NYC.
Put Together Your Romantic Itinerary
Every couple has that special thing that they love to do together, whether it’s going to museums, trying new restaurants, or listening to music together. Why not focus your weekend on that special interest and plan an itinerary that caters to you? Just pick a line or two and get a pair of $10 Weekend passes so you can ride every train line all weekend. Then, you can build your own itinerary favoriting attractions on Massbytrain.com or you can use a pre-made itinerary as inspiration. Let the Commuter Rail be your chauffeur to the different romantic locations you’ve chosen to visit.
