All about Long Wharf luggage storage
Like almost everywhere in Boston, Long Wharf has a fascinating history that predates the founding of the US. While this area of the waterfront was once vital to the city’s infrastructure, it’s now entirely used as an attraction for locals and visitors.
Taking a boat tour is the primary reason to head to Long Wharf, and you’ll have your pick of dozens of different cruises and ferries for touring the harbor or reaching destinations up and down the coast. You can simply take a stroll through Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park or admire the many well-preserved Boston Tea Party Ships and other boats floating in the harbor.
Long Wharf shares a subway stop with the New England Aquarium and is incredibly easy to reach from other parts of the city, so it’s a worthwhile stop on any Boston itinerary. And if you need luggage storage in Boston, Bounce is your best bet for walking destinations like Long Wharf.
