The Boston Waterfront

The Institute of Contemporary Art is part of the South Boston waterfront, the city's most up-and-coming neighborhood and a burgeoning creative center. The ICA joins the Rafael Viñoly-designed Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, the Children's Museum, a variety of restaurants, and several new hotels and residences in transforming the area into a vibrant neighborhood. Cultural and historic attractions and the soon-to-be-completed HarborWalk, a 47-mile public walkway along the water's edge, reconnect our historic city with its harbor.

The waterfront is located within walking distance to the Financial District, connects to MBTA public transit via the Silver Line, and is easily accessible to Interstate 93, the Massachusetts Turnpike, and Route 1. Water shuttles, water taxis, and excursion vessels connect Boston to the Harbor Islands, Cape Cod and the Islands, and Cape Ann.
