Portland, Maine is one of the best day or overnight trips you can make from Boston. With beautiful scenery, top-tier restaurants, and plenty of arts & culture to check out, and gorgeous hotels, you can easily spend a delightful weekend here.
From April 22- May 7, round-trip tickets from Boston to Portland cost as low as $20. You’ll take the Downeaster Amtrak from North Station all the way to Portland – a 2.5-hour trip through beautiful New England paying only $10 each way.
Due to construction the first half of the trip from North Station, MA to Exeter Station, NH will take 1 hour via charter bus. Then you’ll hop on the Downeaster train at Exeter in New Hampshire and continue the trip for 1 hour to your final destination, Portland! Amtrak is running this sweet deal to offer up travelers discounted fares during construction, yet with one transfer only, it seems like a steal!
Read more about this sweet deal and book your trip at the Amtrak Downeaster’s website.
To get the cheapest fare, use the code v520 when you check out for any trip booked on April 22-May 7. You’ll have to book at least three days in advance to take advantage of this sweet deal.
