1. Water Taxi Option for Luggage Storage in Boston

The fastest and easiest way to get from Logan Airport to Downtown Boston is by water taxi - and one of them, Rowes Wharf Water Taxi, offers their passengers free Boston luggage storage in a locked room at their Rowes Wharf office, making this an excellent choice.

Once you get off your flight and collect your luggage, take the free airport shuttle bus - it's the Massport Route 66 bus and goes to all terminals - to the water taxi dock.

Three water taxi companies provide service, but only Rowes Wharf provides free storage - so make sure you get onto a Rowes Wharf water taxi. Because Rowes Wharf is a Downtown stop, 1-way fare will be $10, or $17 round trip.

Rowes Wharf is located next to the Boston Harbor Hotel, adjacent to the Rose Kennedy Greenway and across from the Financial District. Historic Downtown Boston, where you'll find a number of Freedom Trail sites, historic taverns, and Faneuil Hall Marketplace, is only a few blocks away and perfect for sightseeing.

And don't forget, there's no need to pay full admission for your sightseeing adventures - compare Boston discount cards to explore how you can see Boston for half-price!

2. South Station Luggage Locker Option

Another convenient spot where you'll find luggage storage is at Package Express, located on the 5th floor of South Station (700 Atlantic Avenue). South Station is one of Boston's major train/subway terminals, and is near the Financial District, Chinatown, and the South Boston Waterfront.

Storage at Package Express costs $5 per bag. Call in advance to make sure they're open: 617-526-1810. They only take cash but there's an ATM machine in the 1st floor waiting area.

From Boston Logan Airport, you can have any of the water taxis drop you off at the InterContinental Hotel, one block away, or you can take Boston's subway (the "T" as we call it here) directly to South Station from Logan. Check with the water taxi to make sure this will be considered a $10 Downtown stop - otherwise, the fare will be $20 each way. T tickets will cost you $2 each way.

You can also take a land taxi to South Station, but you'll probably pay more. However, if you're traveling with others, taking a taxi may end up costing less on a per person basis.

If, by chance, you're taking an Amtrak train from South Station and have a valid ticket, you can also store your luggage for $3/bag in the Amtrak Baggage Room (617-345-7458).

From South Station, you can easily walk a few blocks along Essex Street through Chinatown (treat yourself to dim sum), and then to Boston Common. From there, you can explore the Freedom Trail or cross Charles Street to the Public Garden and go for a Swan Boat ride or see the famous Make Way for Ducklings statues.
