When looking for that perfect romantic New England destination, there is a state that should be at the very top of your list: From the Berkshires to the Cape and everywhere in between, the Bay State has a little something for every kind of couple! For the sporty, outdoorsy types, romantic getaways in Massachusetts can include skiing down powder-white slopes or taking a dip in the Atlantic and getting a tan at the beach.

For more cerebral, urban couples that prefer hanging out in an uber-hip cultural hot spot or walking the cobblestone streets of a city that predates the country itself, there are plenty of locations that fit that bill, too. Really, there is no shortage of options for couple’s getaways Massachusetts has to offer! Let’s take a look at 10 worthy choices for lovely weekend getaways from Boston and beyond.
