Travel Guide for Daytrips, With or Without a Car

In Gloucester, exploring the region is just as easy without a car as it is with one. From The Apartment at Green Landing, you’re only a ten‑minute walk from the commuter rail, giving you direct access to iconic destinations like Salem, Boston, Rockport, and Manchester‑by‑the‑Sea—without the headaches that often come with driving and parking in those spots. The train lets you skip Boston’s traffic and high parking costs, avoid the weekend congestion and limited parking in Salem during October, and bypass the strict parking rules and out‑of‑towner restrictions in Manchester‑by‑the‑Sea. Whether you prefer the freedom of the road or the simplicity of stepping onto the train, Gloucester puts the best of coastal New England within easy reach and makes day‑tripping feel effortless.
