Boston Costs

Last Updated: 05/20/23 • Originally Published: May 11, 2023 by Cali Pareja

How Much Does a Trip to Boston Cost?

This is a more common question than you may think! I am a huge advocate for saving money but still being able to travel. Both are important, and I try my best to find ways to travel without breaking the bank! So with that, here are what popular attractions in Boston costs! 

Hours and hours of research go into planning a trip when I go down the “I just have to get out of here” rabbit hole. Most of those are spent tracking down attractions, their pricing pages, and hours. I’m hoping to be able to save you some time with research by putting it all in one place for you! I’m also including the GoCity Boston pass as it includes many of these activities and was able to save me over 50%!

My Boston Travel Details

Now, everyone’s travel expenses are going to be different. There are many factors at play from where you fly from, where you stay, and what time of the year you decide to go. These are just my details! I decided to go in April, which was a really great time to go. It wasn’t too expensive but also not too cold. If I were to come again, I’d go probably at the beginning of May instead since some of the things didn’t open until May! I flew out of Atlanta on a non-stop flight with JetBlue. I stayed in Cambridge and took the MBTA trains / busses instead of Uber’s or Lyfts!
