TRANSPORTATION:
Waltham is a suburb to the west of Boston, bordered by
Watertown, Newton and Arlington. It is approximately located at the
intersection of Rt 128/95 and Rt 20, just two miles north of the MA
Turnpike. For convenience, we would recommend a rental car. However, it
is quite possible to move around easily from the airport to the hotel and
wedding site using public transit or taxicabs. A cab from the airport to
Waltham will cost approximately $35-40 and take 30 minutes in good traffic,
and public transit will run you about $4 and probably two hours of your
time. If we find it's at all possible to group our guests' arrivals and
departures, we will send a van for you to bring you to and from the hotel,
wedding and airport with our compliments. If you'd like to participate,
please indicate your preferred or confirmed airport arrival and departure
times on your reply card!
