Answers:
An Amtrak train between the two cities is the fastest way to make the trip. It can take anywhere from 3.5 to 4 hours, depending on the schedule, and the fares also depend on time of day and day of the week. If you plan properly (Avoid taking the train on Friday or Sunday due to significantly higher fares.), you can make the round trip for under $150. Amtrak trains are pretty comfortable, so you will hopefully find that you can sleep on the train. That way, you can leave Boston early and return late, without worrying about lost sleep. Amtrak's Acela trains are not usually worth it. You pay a lot more than you do for Regional service, but you do not save very much time on such a short distance.
You can take a bus, and it will be cheaper, but it will also be slower and less comfortable. You should definitely consider it if you're on a budget, though. Flights are available, but you'd end up paying a lot, and you wouldn't save much time since you have to get to the airport in Boston so early, and the airports in New York City are far from all of the attractions, while Penn Station (where the trains arrive) is very close to many of them.
bout 25 miles
New York isn't far from Boston, you can just catch a bus there or train. Doesn't take long!
It takes 3 1/2 hours from Boston to NY, you can go by train or bus.
Yes, you can, but you need a full day, especially if you are relying on public transportation. Boston and NYC are about 214 miles apart. If you are driving or can get a ride, it's just about four hours, depending on how you go and whether there is heavy traffic or road construction. If you have to take public transportation, look for early morning buses and trains that will get you there before noon so you have plenty of time for sight-seeing. Watch the return schedule--be aware of the last bus or train back to Boston! Driving in cities like Boston and NYC can be a little scary if you are not an experienced driver. Parking can be expensive, too, but if you go with others you could split the cost. There are parking lots that will charge you around $25 or $30 to park for the full day. You may have a more restful trip if you take the bus or train, and the money you spend on the roundtrip ticket is offset by the price of gas, tolls, and parking.
hannie m missed a digit; certainly she meant 225, not 25. Actually it is a bit closer to 235 from city centre to city centre (380 kms).
Yes you could go for a day but you would hardly have much time to be able to see anything!
Flights on Jet Blue run about $50 each way + taxes, so it may be cheaper than Amtrak. There's a Chinatown bus that runs between Boston's Chinatown & NYC's Chinatown that is under $20 each way. Don't know the name, but I have friends who have used it.
The Chinatown bus is the Fung Wah bus but I wouldn´t recommend it because I´ve heard scary things about it like one catching on fire.
yes. you could go on a daytrip. you can easily purchase amtrak tickets that would get you there in like 1-3 hours.
The train is the fastest way to get from Boston to NYC and back, and that takes about 3 and a half hours roughly. Bus or car would take much longer, but if you took a train early in the morning, you could easily be there late morning/mid day, spend the entire day in NYC and then take the train back. Just make sure to buy your tickets ahead of time, and leave enough time to get to the train station, etc. People do it a lot, so I don't think you'd have a problem.
Its a 4 hour train ride.
it is a long return drive but try amtrak
You can hop on the china town bus at south station for $15 one way to NYC on the Phun Wah (sp) But.considering travel time..you may want to spend a night in NYC too, since that's when the fun starts in NYC. But.that bus leaves each city just about every hour..so you're choice. Have fun!
if you fly on the shuttle you can it will cost you 400 dollars for the flights the mileage is about 250 miles from each other
It is under 4 hours by car or u could take a train but may have issues getting a late train back.
I do this all the time. I live in Boston and shop in NY. I hop on the 7 am bus, get there by 10:30am.
Catch the 5 or 6 pm bus from NY and be home bty 9/10 pm.
Mass neighbors NY so the drive is 3-4 hours but don't just stop there. There are many day trips to Cape Cod, Mystic Seaport, Hampton NH, Mohegan Sun, Foxwoods Casino, Suffolk Downs. You will be centrally located in NE so enjoy all that you have time for.
I don't know why everyone is telling you to take a train. Amtrak is a ripoff. The commuter rails in each respective city are not so much of a ripoff (Boston's is the best for coverage and price I've seen in the USA). Either you fly out to NYC as was already suggested, or take a bus.
Greyhound is 65 or so I think for a single round trip between NYC and Boston, and there are companion fares. Also check out bonanza/peter pan bus lines online. One thing you might want to look into are Chinese buses between the cities. There are lots of odd bus lines that go between the two cities' Chinatowns. I live in Eastern CT and have taken a bus back to the local casinos for under 10 bucks, and got 20 dollars in coupons back to me upon arriving at the casino..
Just whatever you do, do not take the train for travelling between NYC and Boston.
If you're there for a while you might want to try taking the commuter rail from Boston to Providence, RI. It's a small city, roughly a third the size of Boston, with a lot of charm.
And if you're interested in going to one of the largest casinos in the world (in Connecticut), do not go to Foxwoods. Take it from a local: Foxwoods is poorly run, is a sloppy resort, and just isn't much fun compared to Mohegan Sun. Mohegan Sun is comparable to some of the best resorts in Vegas. www.mohegansun.com. If you do the casinos as a day trip from Boston, definately try to take a bus. They comp you out for more than what the round trip ticket costs.
you could do it in a day, but you may not get to see as much as you would like to. Could you not stay overnight in a motel near newyork on the bus route - just for one night?
if you Fly its a 22-27 min. flight and cost around,$60.00-$100.00 one way,it would be cheaper getting round trip ticket!If you drive straight threw its about14-18 hour drive,it depends on what part of n.y. you go!Have Fun!Hollywood
yes u can. if u drive there or take the bus or the train it takes about 3 to 4 hrs
