Local Airport

Logan Airport is the largest nearby international airport (BOS). The Nokia office is about 18 miles north-west of the airport.

Driving Information

Directions to drive from airport

Leave airport, Ted Williams Tunnel to 93 North, Exit 37B for I95/128 South, then Exit 33A for Cambridge St (go under bridge, turn right at second light to Wayside road, 1st Left into Nokia driveway, bear right and then straight, turn left and enter parking lot).

See also hotel directions below.

There is ample free parking in the lots surrounding 5 Wayside. Please observe signs designating Handicap, Visitor and Expectant Mother, however there is no requirement to park in visitor parking.

Local Transport

Alternate transportation noted on Marriott hotel page: Town Car Shuttle to Marriott in Burlington; fee: 64 USD (one way) ;reservation required

Taxis are available at the airport, outside each terminal. Estimated taxi fare: 68.00- 80 USD (one way)

Logan Express (Woburn line) takes you from the airport to Woburn for 12 USD (one way). You can then take a taxi to Burlington for 20-30 USD. (Taxi availability at the station varies throughout the day. It's best to let the bus driver know you would need a taxi. He/she can call ahead for one for you.)

There is an MBTA bus stop at the bottom of Wayside Road, where it intersects with Cambridge Street. The # 350 bus will bring you to Alewife Station on the MBTA Red Line. (I would expect this would make a long and unreliable journey from the airport; a cab, shuttle or rental car is probably preferable.)
