Getting to Symphony Hall

Symphony station on the Green Line E branch is closed for renovation from June 2026 until spring 2029. The BSO suggests the E branch to Prudential or Northeastern (about a five-minute walk), the Orange Line to Massachusetts Avenue station and a walk north on Massachusetts Avenue, or any Green Line train to Hynes Convention Center and a ten-minute walk or the No. 1 bus.

Good to know

The BSO offers dining and drink pre-ordering at Symphony Hall, which saves queuing at intermission. Earlier in the season, Handel and Haydn Society's Messiah plays the same hall over Thanksgiving weekend, and Boston Ballet's Nutcracker runs through December across town at the Citizens Opera House.

Details checked against the BSO Holiday Pops 2026 page and Getting to Symphony Hall on September 28, 2026. Dates and times can change; confirm with the organizer before you go.
