Amtrak, the largest passenger railroad service in the US, operates the train from Baltimore to Providence. The good news is that most of the connections between Boston and Providence are direct. There are several options, but it comes down to whether you need to get there fast with the speed train Acela or take your time with a slightly slower but cheaper line like the Northeast Regional.

  1. The Acela Express is a high-speed train between Boston, MA., and Washington, DC. It is the fastest train in the Northeast Corridor, reaching 150 miles per hour, stopping at Philadelphia, Newark, New York, Stamford, and New Haven before arriving in Providence. Acela tickets are pricier due to their incredible speeds and comfort. Extra legroom, free Wi-Fi, and a power outlet under each seat are some of the perks you can expect on Amtrak Acela Express.
  2. Northeast Regional is the most popular train due to its price and frequency. It runs around nine times a day. The Northeast Regional is slower, but it makes more stops along the way, making it a more convenient option for passengers who need to make connections. 

The ticket prices may vary depending on how early you book, so securing them at your earliest convenience is recommended. 

Children 2-12 travel at a lower fare on all Amtrak trains, but the Acela Express only offers discounts for children on weekends. But the good news is that children under two always travel free on Amtrak trains between Boston, MA, and Providence, RI.

Your East Coast journey will begin at the Baltimore Penn Station. The Neoclassical-style station is one of the oldest in the Country. It offers a good choice of activities and is close to Baltimore tourist attractions. Located only half a mile from downtown and the inner harbor, the station is also a stroll away from the vibrant and beautiful Charles North neighborhood.

Providence's main Amtrak station is located at 100 Gaspee Street, in the city center, just across the street from Rhode Island State House, within walking distance from many restaurants and shops. Besides Acela Express and the Northeast Regional, the station is also part of the local MBTA network, which operates between Providence, Boston, and Boston's T. F. Green Airport.

Providence is located on the border between Massachusetts and Rhode Island. One of the oldest towns in the United States, it boasts many beautiful colonial buildings - so many that its East Side neighborhood has the largest contingent of registered historic buildings in the US. A stroll along colonial houses on Benefit street will delight all history enthusiasts. If you are more interested in the restaurant scene, be sure to taste some Oysters, the signature dish of the Providence area, or the excellent Italian specialties in Little Italy in the Federal Hill quarter.
