The Best Places to Propose in Boston
Boston keeps its romance walkable. The Public Garden, the river, and the Common sit within a few blocks, so you can pick your backdrop and be there in minutes.
Best time: Late spring, summer, and fall foliage season.
Boston Public Garden
The little suspension footbridge over the pond, with the swan boats below, is the classic Boston ask.
The Charles River Esplanade
The paths along the river look back at the skyline, best at dusk with the lights on the water.
Boston Common
The oldest park in the country gives you tree-lined paths, and in winter the Frog Pond turns into a skating rink.
Christopher Columbus Park
The waterfront trellis, draped in wisteria in spring or lights in winter, frames the harbor behind you.
