As a port city, Boston has a variety of water-related activities for you and your significant other to take advantage of. Stroll hand-in-hand down the 43-mile Harborwalk as you soak up some sun and admire the nearby piers, shoreline, beaches, and wharves. Be sure to take a break at one of the many food vendors along the way, or pack a cute picnic. For the ultimate gift for the animal lover in your life, head out on a whale watching excursion to the Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary. Keep your eyes peeled for whales, dolphins, seabirds, and other marine life during this amazing outing. For the adventurous couple in your life, kick up the adrenaline and gift some excitement with a trip on the Codzilla! They’ll get splashed during 360-degree turns, at up to 40 miles per hour. Or choose between a historical or sunset Boston Harbor cruise, and enjoy the city views from out on the water. Or, literally set sail on an 80-foot wooden replica of a classic turn of the century Pilot Schooner during a relaxing trip out on the water and an authentic historic experience.

Chow Down and Say Cheers!

Find your new favorite spot in Beantown to chow down or say ‘cheers!’ Boston is undeniably a brew town and the birthplace of Samuel Adams Beer—named after the founding father, of course! Head to the brewery and take a classic tour, mix it up with one of the many speciality tours offered, or head to one of their tap rooms for a bit of extra sampling or to participate in trivia night. If you are looking for a more hands-on experience, why not try your hand at brewing your own beer? By this point, you’ll have definitely worked up an appetite. Dig into the undefeated king of foods—pizza! Indulge in a pizza extravaganza with an authentic Boston pizza tasting, or cave in to your sweet tooth with a tempting and unique Boston chocolate tour.

An Extra Reason for Hugs

Switch things up and take a walk on the dark side! With a rich history of all things supernatural and creepy, why not turn up the fright as you hold onto your partner extra tight (or secretly squeeze their hand) during a spooky adventure? Learn about the sinister side of the city with stories of its most notorious characters, and a visit to significant gravesites on this Ghosts and Gravestones Tour. Or, head directly to the source with a half-hour drive to Salem and a stop at the Salem Witch Museum. The perfect activity for an outside-of-the-box couple!

Get “Physical”

As the home to major sporting teams Red Sox, Bruins, and Celtics, in addition to the New England Patriots, Bostonians certainly love their sports. Rather than just going to see a game, try something new. For general sports trivia, head to The Sports Museum and quiz your partner to see who the true fanatic is. If the movie The Perfect Catch taught us anything, it’s that love of baseball is undying. Fenway Park, affectionately known as “America’s Most Beloved Ballpark”, is another great spot for baseball fans. If hockey is more your thing, why not check out a Bruin’s practice? For a little more romance, attend public skating in the exact same area as you show off your twirls (and try not to fall!). During the winter months, take your love outside and head to America’s top-rated outdoor rink with a date at The Boston Common Frog Pond. Skate hand-in-hand and finish your date by sipping warm hot chocolate as you take in the epitome of a winter wonderland.
