Getting In, Getting Around Waltham

The city of Waltham is 8 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts on the Charles River.

Waltham is located near several important U.S. Interstate highways. Interstate 95 (which is also Route 128) runs through the western part of the city, Interstate 90 (also the Massachusetts Turnpike) is located just to south in Newton, Massachusetts, and Route 2 runs just to the north through Lexington, Massachusetts. Waltham is partly surrounded by Interstate 95 (I-95), also called Route 128; hence Waltham is in the heart of Boston's Route 128 High Technology Corridor.

The closest major airports are Boston's Logan International Airport (BOS) and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) in New Hampshire.

By train: take the Fitchburg line from North Station on the MBTA Commuter Rail to the Waltham or Brandeis/Roberts stop.

Several MBTA Express Buses (553, 554, 504, 505) serve Waltham Center. They all originate several blocks from South Station in Boston and go to Waltham on weekdays only.
