Get to know the Hub on these culinary and history walks, sightseeing jaunts, market treks and other city tours

Bostonians would sooner root for the Yankees than endure the indignities of a slow-moving city tour with a bunch of non-natives, but that doesn’t mean we still don’t love exploring the best Boston attractions with savvy visitors in tow. From the best free things to do in Boston to the best museums in Boston , the Hub offers plenty of cultural options and activities. While it’s easy to hit the pavement and enjoy “America’s walking city” at your own pace, if you really want to dig deeper and learn all about the area’s rich, unique history and culture, make your plans now to check out these cool Boston city tours.

Best Boston city tours

1.  Fenway Park Tour

• Things to do
• Sport events
• Fenway/Kenmore

This is the one you haul all the out-of-towners to—mostly because you can’t wait to go yourself. The hour-long tour includes player and ballpark history and visits to the press box and Pesky’s Pole; depending on the guide, you also might visit the bullpens and peek behind the anachronistic scoreboard. Game-day tours are available as well—hours, options and prices vary, check the website for special event info and restrictions.

2.  Historic Sightseeing Cruise

This narrated, 90-minute sightseeing tour takes you around some of the Harbor Islands while recounting the city’s history as a shipping port, as well as the role that the harbor played in the Revolutionary War. Just prepare yourself for the conditions (tours are offered daily, year-round), as well as the inevitable real estate envy when you sail past all the stunning waterfront condos. 

3.  Samuel Adams Brewery Tour

• price 1 of 4

For a city that’s often hamstrung by booze-related blue laws, Boston sure has a fine collection of breweries. The city’s most famous brewer is Samuel Adams, the Revolutionary and “maltster” after whom the brewery is named. Tours of the Jamaica Plain facility run daily (except for Sundays) and are free, although there is a suggested charitable donation of $2. You’ll taste the malts, smell the hops and enjoy multiple samples.

4.  Boston Public Library Art and Architecture Tour

• Attractions
• Libraries, archives and foundations

You can spend years visiting the BPL and never have proper knowledge of the beauty contained within. These free, volunteer-led tours—no appointment needed—offer architectural insight into both the original Renaissance Revival McKim building and the modernist Philip Johnson wing (added in 1972). Even longtime patrons are impressed by the sheer volume of oils, tapestries and sculptures populating the halls, including the John Singer Sargent murals that took some 30 years to create. 

5.  Freedom Trail Tour

The Freedom Trail  often gets a bad rap among locals, some of whom are tired of the gussied-up guides posing as historical figures as they shuffle tourists through the historical sites. If you don ’ t want to take a guided tour, it ’ s easy to enjoy the lovely self-guided stroll, two and a half miles that remind you of the city’s unparalleled Colonial and Revolutionary history. And if the trail has only whetted your appetite for historical discovery, consider taking a self-guided tour along the Black Heritage Trail or the Women’s Heritage Trail .

6.  Arnold Arboretum Tour

• Parks and gardens
• Jamaica Plain

This Jamaica Plain respite is worth a visit, in part due to the oldest and largest collection of lilac bushes in the world, predating even the founding of the arboretum in 1872. Free weekend tours will help better acquaint you with the vast expanse of flora. Check ahead to confirm hours and weather cancellations, and look into special seasonal themed tours that focus on one species, like the greenhouse collection of potted bonsai plants.

7.  Old State House Tour

• Historic buildings and sites

Designed by Bulfinch and completed in 1798, this magnificent structure replaced the old legislative building across Boston Common, which had been the headquarters of the British government. Included with admission, tours help visitors understand how the Old State House was the political center of Revolutionary Boston. Enthusiastic guides explain how the voices of John Hancock, Samuel Adams, and others rang out from the halls and changed American history forever.

8.  North End Market Tour

Even if you’ve eaten in the North End before,  Boston Food Tours ’  exploration of the neighborhood will take your knowledge to another level by teaching (and feeding) you along the way. On the tour you ’ ll learn how Italians ’ food traditions were adapted to America, while acquiring insider cooking tips and discovering where to buy the very best ingredients. At multiple stops, you ’ ll learn about the very best of the neighborhood, ensuring you ’ ll get more out of your future visits.

9.  Ghosts & Gravestones Tour

Our city’s history is not all puppy dogs and rainbows—death, disease and crime make sizeable appearances as well. By taking a Ghosts & Gravestones tour (days/times vary by season), you will learn about murders and executions like the ones that took place on the Boston Common. Try not to be spooked by stories of paranormal activity at the Omni Parker House or the legend of the Boston Strangler.

10.  Walks with the Local AMC Chapter

The Appalachian Mountain Club wants to show you parts of Greater Boston you’ve never explored before. Year-round hikes and nature walks, both accessible and challenging, take you all around the state (and sometimes New Hampshire, too), lasting anywhere from 3 to 20 miles. Dates and times vary, and walks cost just $1 if you’re not an AMC member.

11.  Castle Island Park and Fort Independence

• South Boston

Locals sometimes forget about the 1850 granite bastion known as Fort Independence, poised at the ocean end of South Boston on Castle Island. It’s a good spot for an all-day picnic, or to pretend you’re going on a medieval raid. Free tours of the fort are offered on summer weekends; check in advance for details.

12.  Boston Lobster Tours

Trap-to-table is the only way to eat your favorite crustacean. Take a tour aboard a legit Downeast-style lobster boat with up to three other friends (bench seating is offered), and cruise around the Boston Harbor for 75 minutes, learning about the local industry and hauling up two traps of your own; whatever is of legal size is yours to keep and (presumably) eat.

13.  City Wine Tours

Two hours of wine drinking under the auspices of learning? Yes, we imagine a few Bostonians would partake. Choose between four neighborhoods—South End, Back Bay, North End or Assembly Row in Somerville—then join an intimate group led by a wine connoisseur. The guide leads you to top-notch hot spots where you’ll learn how to taste, pair and buy fine wines.

11 Unique Places to View the Boston Skyline—Local’s Guide

There’s nothing more iconic than a city skyline, and it’s no different in Boston. After living in Boston for 3 years, I’ve scoped out some lovely places to snap shots of the city skyline. If you’re looking to visit Boston, you may also want to book a stay at the hotels with views in this post.

Stay till the end for a free, interactive map of these best spots to view the Boston skyline!

Table of Contents

Best Places to See the Boston Skyline

1. mit sailing pavilion (cambridge).

You’ll be able to get great views of the Boston skyline from most of Memorial Drive, a road in Cambridge right next to the Charles River. In my opinion, however, the view is the best at the MIT Sailing Pavilion on Memorial Drive. There, you’ll have iconic Prudential Center in the center of your shot, and you may even be able to catch a sailboat in your image.

Just a short walk away is also Harvard Bridge, which will give you a couple more angles of the city skyline.

2. On a sunset cruise in the Boston Harbor

There are few images of Boston that are dreamier than the skyline silhouette against the sunset over the water. While you will have to pay for a sunset cruise, tickets start at around $20 and the experience is well worth it. Many cruises also serve food and drink for an extra price, so you can make it a whole evening outing.

3. Boston University Bridge (Brookline)

While this Boston skyline view is a bit more distant, the BU bridge frames the downtown buildings perfectly. This spot is also a short walk from the Boston University West stop on the B line, and you can continue your walk down Memorial Drive after crossing the bridge, hitting more photo spots like Harvard Bridge and the MIT Sailing Pavilion.

4. Fan Pier Park at night (Seaport)

Fan Pier Park offers a classic view of the the city, and it’s especially romantic at night when the buildings light up and are reflected on the water.

Seaport is also a lively neighborhood with many restaurants and trendy shops (think Mejuri and Outdoor Voices), so there’s plenty to do before or after you admire the Boston skyline.

5. Boston Athenaeum (Beacon Hill/downtown)

The Boston Athenaeum is one of the city’s hidden gems and most instagrammable spots . While the library itself is stunning, the patio view of the city is another big draw.

The library is private, but you can purchase a day pass for $40. Previously, you could only visit the first floor with a $10 ticket and see the rest of the library on a $2 tour, but this is currently unavailable. $40 is quite pricey, but it could be worth it if you plan to spend most of the day admiring the library, browsing its books, or studying.

Learn more about the Boston Athenaeum in my guide.

6. Wright’s Tower at Middlesex Fells (Medford)

The city is far in the distance at Middlesex Fells in Medford, but the views are lovely, especially at the golden hour in the fall.

If you park at the South Border parking lot, Wright’s Tower is only a short hike away (.3 miles), though it is a little steep in spots. The tower itself isn’t always open, but there’s an open rocky area where you can catch this view. Many hikers stop and rest here, and take photos.

I’d recommend hiking boots or good athletic shoes if you decide to visit the park, as the trail can be rocky in places.

7. Longfellow Bridge (Cambridge/downtown)

The tall stone columns make this bridge stand out from the others on the Charles River. The bridge has to be especially sturdy as the Red Line runs across it! If you’re sitting in the train between Charles/MGH and Kendall/MIT, be sure to take a glimpse out the window.

Otherwise, you can stroll across the bridge as well and take your time to get the perfect shot.

8. From a kayak on the Charles River (Cambridge)

Paddle Boston rents kayaks and paddleboards from Kendall Square, allowing you to get a close-up view of the city over the water. Prices start at $30 for a single kayak, $45 for a double, and $30 for a paddleboard.

You can reserve online or just show up. Bring a drybag for your phone and belongings, or rent one onsite for $1.

9. Spectacle Island (Boston Harbor Islands)

Spectacle Island is a relaxing getaway that’s just a 20-minute boat ride from the city. From the boat and the island, you can get a full panorama of the city skyline.

On the island, there’s also a small beach, easy hiking trails, and grassy fields for lying out or picnicking.

Learn more in my guide to visiting Spectacle Island .

10. Peters Hill at Arnold Arboretum (Jamaica Plain)

The city is quite tiny from Peters Hill, but it’s still a lovely view, especially with the trees and plants framing the Boston skyline. Swing by around the golden hour to get shots of the skyline against a blue and pink sky.

After relaxing on Peters Hill, you can take the time to stroll around the extensive arboretum and admire the different species of trees and plants (most of which are labeled).

The arboretum is especially beautiful in the spring and fall.

11. Charles River Esplanade (Back Bay)

While the Charles River Esplanade mostly gives you views of Cambridge (as pictured above), you can see some of the Boston side by going out to the boat docks. The docks towards the city, past the Hatch Memorial Shell, are where you want to be (just double-check and make sure you’re not going onto private docks).

Even better, the Esplanade is between Harvard and Longfellow Bridge, so you’re a short walk away from other Boston skyline views.

The Esplanade is especially beautiful at the golden hour and around sunset. In the summer, many people lounge around on the grass, walk along the bike path, and gather on the docks.

Hotels with the Best Views of the Boston Skyline

If you’re visiting Boston and want to be able to see the skyline from your hotel, here are some top options. Since these hotels are in prime locations, prices are on the higher side ($200+ per night), but you may be able to get better deals in the off season.

This section contains affiliate links, meaning that I earn a small commission from any bookings made through these links, at no extra cost to you. This income keeps this blog running and is much appreciated!

1. Royal Sonesta , $$ (Cambridge)

The Royal Sonesta Hotel is right along the water on the Cambridge side of the Charles River. The Museum of Science and the iconic Longfellow Bridge are just a short walk away. You can even dine outside at the hotel restaurant with the city skyline in the background.

2. YOTEL Boston , $$ (Seaport)

YOTEL is in the heart of trendy Seaport, with shops like Lululemon and Fjällräven just across the street. The hotel itself is also pretty trendy, offering tiny “cabins” that are designed to be space-efficient and high-tech (think smart beds, mood lighting, etc.). YOTEL also has a rooftop terrace with a stunning view of the city.

Nearby attractions include the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston Children’s Museum, and Fan Pier Park.

3. Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor , $$

Located close to the airport, Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor is across the water from downtown Boston, offering panoramic views of the city. The Boston skyline can be seen from the outdoor patio, select rooms, and their indoor restaurant.

4. Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge , $$

This massive, upscale hotel is right along the Charles River on the Cambridge side. You’ll have a clear view of the city skyline and easy access to the Charles River bike path (as well as BU Bridge).

If you’re planning to host a special event, this Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge has a ballroom and plenty of meeting rooms.

5. The Envoy Hotel , $$$$ (Seaport)

The Envoy Hotel in Seaport has a Lookout Rooftop and Bar overlooking the water and city skyline. Rooms are modern and elegant, plus you’re in the heart of one of Boston’s upscale neighborhoods.

30 Top-Rated Things to Do in Boston

As Massachusetts' capital and the birthplace of the American Revolution, there's no shortage of historical sites for travelers to explore within Boston's city limits (and beyond). There's even a Boston Tea Party Museum on the harbor

• All Things To Do
• 1-Day Itinerary
• 2-Day Itinerary
• 3-Day Itinerary

Freedom Trail Freedom Trail free

Stretching 2½ miles, the Freedom Trail weaves past 16 of the city's most historic sites, including Faneuil Hall Marketplace , the Paul Revere House and Old North Church . Taking in all of the trail's attractions requires at least half a day (and some comfortable walking shoes), but you can easily plot points of interest before you begin your jaunt from Boston Common .

Though most visitors agree the trail is easy to navigate on your own, some recommend a guided tour or downloading an app to tell you about the sites. (You'll find a handful of apps available for Apple and Android devices.) If you have a Go Boston Card, standard guided tours given by the Freedom Trail Foundation are covered by your pass.

Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Quincy Market Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Quincy Market free

U.S. News Insider Tip: Every Friday and Saturday, Haymarket (one America's oldest open-air markets) pops up adjacent to Faneuil Hall. In order to navigate this often-chaotic scene successfully make sure to bring small bills, leave bulky bags at the hotel and keep it moving on the sidewalk. - Jill LeGrow

Four buildings – Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, North Market and South Market – constitute Faneuil Hall Marketplace, with the oldest being Faneuil Hall. Built in 1742 and now a stop on the Freedom Trail , Faneuil Hall has had a long and important history in Massachusetts politics. Samuel Adams once stood here to push for resistance against the British, and abolitionists and suffragists have stood on their soapboxes here. In fact, this is where colonists famously challenged the Stamp Act of 1764 by proclaiming, "no taxation without representation." From those illustrious days, the marketplace has expanded to include more than 100 shops and restaurants.

Boston Public Garden Boston Public Garden free

Though the Boston Public Garden sits right next to Boston Common , the two are quite different. The public garden is newer (established in 1837) and holds the distinction of being America's first public botanical garden. Flowers and trees are beautifully organized and kept in quality condition throughout. You can see the colorful arrangements and exotic trees from the 6-acre pond as you glide along the water in a Swan Boat. Additionally, the park houses two of Boston's most iconic statues: Make Way for Ducklings (a bronze sculpture of a duck and her eight ducklings) and a sculpture of George Washington (which shows America's first president riding on a horse).

Visitors looking to relax after sightseeing will enjoy the Boston Public Garden. Parkgoers say you'll find plenty of shade beneath the park's trees, which comes in handy on hot summer days. Plus, you'll likely spot some ducks and geese swimming around the lagoon. And if you have a few dollars, visitors recommend taking a 15-minute ride on a Swan Boat. The large paddle boats cost $4.50 to ride (or $3 for kids ages 2 to 15 and $4 for seniors); travelers with Go Boston Cards ride for free. Swan Boats are usually available between mid-April and Labor Day.

North End North End free

Chances are you'll end up in the North End at least once during your visit to Boston. It's steeped in the city's rich history as it holds the title of Boston's oldest neighborhood and houses three attractions on the Freedom Trail . What makes this neighborhood a top point of interest, however, is its Italian culture: The North End is considered Boston's Little Italy.

While Italians weren't the first to settle in this area (English settlers arrived first then European Jews, African Americans and Irish immigrants), their cultural influence on the North End withstood the test of time. Today, you'll find all kinds of Italian food from classic pizza pies served at the popular Regina Pizzeria to Sicilian-style seafood, such as black linguine (made with squid ink) and calamari meatballs at The Daily Catch . For dinner, try Mamma Maria for fine dining, Giacomo's for its affordable, made-in-house pasta or Bricco , which sources its meats and bread from its own meat and bread shop, located right next door. If you’re only interested in pizza, hit up Galleria Umberto for delectable solo slices or Antico Forno for its full-size, wood-fired pies. Prezza is known for its extensive wine list, boasting hundreds of wine labels to choose from. For dessert, make sure to pick up a cannoli at Mike's Pastry or Modern Pastry , or tiramisu at the 24-hour Bova's Bakery .

Museum of Fine Arts Museum of Fine Arts

If you want to make the most out of the Museum of Fine Arts, one of the most comprehensive art institutions in the country, then you'll need to spend a good chunk of your day here. The museum is home to one of the best art collections in the world, including the celebrated Art of the Americas wing. Inside this sprawling collection, you'll encounter galleries showcasing iconic pieces from indigenous cultures in North, South and Central America to works by contemporary artists like Edward Hopper.

You'll also find an impressive collection of Asian art here, plus works from Monet, Renoir, Manet and Rembrandt on display. And in special temporary exhibits, you can admire masterpieces from Black artists like Diedrick Brackens and Picasso, among others.

Boston Common Boston Common free

The grounds of Boston Common started as a cow pasture in the mid-1600s. It was also used for Puritan punishments, like whipping, and even for hangings. In 1768, the area was transformed into a British camp. After the Revolutionary War, the park became a popular locale for public speeches and rallies. Now, the Common is best known because of its status as the oldest public park in the country. You'll also find a variety of activities and events – including theater and musical performances and free fitness classes – hosted here throughout the year. If you plan to traverse the Freedom Trail , you'll start the walk here at Boston Common.

Though some visitors say you won't find much to do in this park, Boston Common is great for picnics or a leisurely stroll. Travelers also mention that this site is a wonderful spot to take young children. In addition to ample running room on the park's green space, kids can play at the Tadpole Playground or Frog Pond. Frog Pond offers a spray pool during the warmer months and an ice skating rink in the winter. Some visitors do note that the park tends to draw Boston's homeless population, particularly at night.

Fenway Park Fenway Park

U.S. News Insider Tip: If you want to watch a Sox game without a ticket, head to the Bleacher Bar on Lansdowne Street. Located beneath the bleachers of Fenway, the best tables are positioned directly in front of the huge garage window that overlook centerfield. – Jill LeGrow

Fans of America's favorite pastime won't want to miss a game at Fenway Park. Home to the Boston Red Sox, this stadium has been the site of home runs, stolen bases and grounders since 1912. Regardless of whether or not you're a diehard Red Sox fan, you should try to catch a game and admire the ballpark's original architecture. Must-see features of the park include Pesky's Pole – the right field foul pole named after former Red Sox player Johnny Pesky – and the 37-foot-tall "Green Monster" wall in left field.

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

After Isabella Stewart Gardner's husband died in 1898, the art enthusiast carried out their plan to buy land in Boston's Fenway area and open a museum to display her impressive collection of Italian art. The museum, which was fashioned after the Palazzo Barbaro in Venice , was completed in 1901, at which point Gardner moved in to the fourth floor and began installing her collection. Today, you can visit this Boston museum to get your fill of the Italian masters, such as Raphael and Titian. The building also showcases a cache of beautiful furniture, photographs, sculpture and rare books straight from Europe. The museum's New Wing, designed by Renzo Piano, includes a glass atrium, greenhouses and landscaped gardens.

The art isn't the only interesting thing here: the museum is also the site of the single largest property theft on Earth. In the wee hours of March 18, 1990, two thieves made their way into the museum disguised as police. The duo stole 13 works, including pieces by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Degas and Manet. Today, the museum has empty frames on the walls as placeholders until the art returns to the museum. As you may have guessed, the crime has not been solved and the works haven't been recovered. The museum is even offering a sizable reward ($10 million) for information leading to the art.

Boston Public Library Boston Public Library free

A library isn't always all about books. The main branch of the Boston Public Library in Copley Square, which opened in 1895, is so much more, according to recent visitors who call the architecture "beautiful" and a “must-see.” Walking into the Renaissance Revival building is akin to visiting a museum. On Dartmouth Street, two immense stone lions sculpted by Louis Saint-Gaudens stand guard by the main entrance. Inside, Bates Hall, the library's main reference reading room, is a 218-foot-long room with a barrel-arch ceiling soaring 50 feet high.

Visitors can take a free tour and learn all about the murals found throughout the library, including John Singer Sargent's series on the "Triumph of Religion." Other murals include works by French artist Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, who depicted eight library-centric disciplines in "The Muses of Inspiration," and Edwin Austin Abbey's "The Quest and Achievement of the Holy Grail."

John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum

A must for any history buffs or fans of our nation's 35th president, this excellent library and museum details the life of President John F. Kennedy. Exhibits include his presidential papers; masses of Kennedy memorabilia, including re-creations of his desk in the Oval Office and of the television studio in which he debated Richard M. Nixon in the 1960 election; and artifacts from the U.S. space program. There's permanent display on the late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis plus plenty of other artifacts and information about Kennedy's life and presidency. The building itself is quite striking and was designed by architect I. M. Pei.

Museumgoers say that while the museum is off the beaten path (it sits about 5 miles south of downtown on Columbia Point), it is well worth the trek thanks to the exhibits and staff. However, some wish the exhibits had a more detailed explanation of Kennedy and events during his life. The views from the museum are amazing, add some visitors.

Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park

Popular islands include Spectacle, Georges and Peddocks, though ferries also go to Lovells, Grape, Bumpkin and Thompson.

Here, you’ll find secluded shorelines as well as tide pools (when it's low tide, a whopping 71 acres are added to the island's land mass). Meanwhile, history lovers will enjoy a trip to Georges Island. Georges Island is home to Fort Warren, which the U.S. government used for patrolling and training Union troops as well as housing Confederate prisoners during Civil War times. Peddocks Island, one of the largest of the Boston Harbor Islands, offers a little bit of everything. This island is considered a prime camping spot and features scenic hiking trails that pass through coastal forests, headlands connected by tombolos and the biggest beach of any island. You'll also find a little bit of history thanks to Fort Andrews and a restored chapel from World War II.

Newbury Street Newbury Street free

Located in the Back Bay along eight blocks between Massachusetts Avenue and Arlington Street, Newbury Street is home to gorgeous 19th century brownstones. It's also Boston's premiere destination for dining and shopping. Newbury Street has been called one of the most expensive streets in the world, thanks in large part to the significant cluster of expensive shops on the lower end (by numbered address) nearest Arlington Street.

Starting at the higher end, by Massachusetts Avenue, you'll find more budget-friendly retailers like TJ Maxx and Forever 21, as well longtime local favorites Newbury Comics and Trident Booksellers. In fact, Newbury Comics' opening in 1978 was the catalyst that began the transformation of Newbury Street from a heavily upper-class retail destination to a hipper, trendier spot for everyone.

Cambridge, which sits about 3 miles northwest of Boston's city center, is home to both Harvard University and MIT , but there's more to see in Cambridge than just the schools themselves. The city features an impressive array of cultural institutions that feature collections and exhibitions ranging from fine art to technological innovations.

Beacon Hill is arguably Boston's most beautiful neighborhood. Located north of Boston Common , Beacon Hill is awash with quaint, cobblestone-lined alleyways, corners dotted with gas street lamps, stately townhouses affixed with bay view windows and vibrant, flower-filled window boxes.

Old North Church Old North Church

Most people who know anything about American history have heard of Paul Revere's famous midnight ride, when he rode through town to warn people about the arrival of British troops. Before heading off to Lexington, Revere gave orders at Old North Church. Robert Newman – the church's sexton – and Captain John Pulling Jr. – the church's vestryman – then climbed the steeple and held two lanterns as a signal that the British were indeed coming, but by sea.

The church itself, which is officially named Christ Church, is filled with beautiful relics from the past, including North America's oldest set of change ringing bells and chandeliers brought in from England in the early 1700s. The pews have a long history as well; Pew No. 54 was reserved for Paul Revere's son.

Boston Children's Museum Boston Children's Museum

With a giant milk bottle structure at the front of the building, it's hard to miss the Boston Children's Museum. Here, hands-on exhibits present a fun and engaging way for kids to learn about various sciences, culture, art and health and wellness, among other subjects. Among the museum's standout exhibits are "Construction Zone," where little ones can learn about and play with kid-sized construction equipment, "The Common," where kids play with color, games and music, and "Japanese House" – a 100-year-old authentic Japanese house reconstructed in Boston by Japanese carpenters.

Museumgoers praise the variety of engaging exhibits tailored to kids within different age groups and can't recommend it enough. Others warn the museum gets crowded, especially in the summer.

Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway free

Boston is packed with cool outdoor spaces, but this nearly 1½-mile-long series of parks and gardens offers more than most.

Since opening in 2008, visitors have flocked to this sprawling green space to enjoy temporary public art displays, bubbling fountains, numerous food vendors and a carousel. Plus, the park offers free weekly events, including food and art festivals, summer concert performances and seasonal fitness classes.

Many previous visitors said the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway not only offers a much-needed respite from the city, but also an easy way to explore Boston with kids during the warmer months. And, in many sections of the Greenway, you're never more than a few steps away from the Freedom Trail .

Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum

This hands-on museum offers an entertaining look at one of Boston's pivotal moments. You can toss (fake) tea overboard, climb around replica ships and converse with period actors about Colonial issues. Exhibits at the museum, which is located on Griffin's Wharf (close to where the actual Tea Party occurred on Dec. 16, 1773) include 3D holograms, talking portraits and the Robinson Tea Chest, an authentic tea chest from the Boston Tea Party. Two of the three ships have been recreated, the Beaver and the Eleanor, which are fun to explore. The film "Let It Begin Here" depicts the events that immediately preceded the American Revolution. You can also grab a cup of tea or a snack in Abigail's Tea Room, which has one of the best views of the harbor around.

Visitors love the interactive nature of the museum and tossing tea overboard, saying their time there was entertaining for all ages. They also add that the guides are informative and stay in character.

Museum of Science Museum of Science

Budding scientists can examine the Arctic in "Arctic Adventure: Exploring with Technology" exhibit or play on swings to learn about physics in "Science in the Park." The museum also features the Charles Hayden Planetarium, where you can indulge your inner astronaut during shows. Meanwhile, at the Mugar Omni Theater, you'll feel like you're actually in the IMAX film thanks to its cutting-edge sound technology and five-story-high projection screen.

Although the museum is very kid-focused, past visitors said that young-at-heart adults and even teens will get a kick out of the museum's engaging displays and shows. Though most travelers spend about half a day exploring the museum, you could easily allocate an entire day to this attraction. Also, remember that separate tickets (which cost extra) are needed for some museum features, such as IMAX films, planetarium shows and the Garden Walk and Insect Zoo.

Boston Duck Tours Boston Duck Tours

Wander Boston for a couple of hours and you're sure to see a Duck Tour quacking its way through the streets (and waterways). These "Truck Duck" vehicles recreate the look of a DUKW truck used by the U.S. military during World War II and transport tourists all over the city by land and water. The tours drive past a number of landmark sites including the Old State House, Newbury Street , Prudential Tower, Public Garden and the Swan Boats, and Copley Square (home to the Boston Public Library ). Once launched into the water, you'll cruise down the Charles River checking out MIT, the Longfellow Bridge, as well as the Esplanade and the Hatch Shell. 

Besides giving tours around the city, Boston Duck Tour boats have been used in all of the victory parades since 2002 for the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins (the city's major teams for football, baseball, basketball and hockey, respectively). What started off simply as a way to roll the Patriots through downtown Boston for a Superbowl celebration has turned into a much-loved tradition that continues today.

Boston Symphony Orchestra Boston Symphony Orchestra

Even if you're not a classical music aficionado, you can't miss attending one of the Boston Symphony Orchestra's world-renowned performances at Symphony Hall. The BSO began performing in 1881. Today, the symphony performs everything from family shows to traditional concerts and Boston Pops – a lively performance filled with singing and a variety of music. The BSO performs at Symphony Hall from September through April, then heads to Tanglewood (which is about 130 miles west of Boston) in the summer.

Past spectators not only praised the world-class talent, but also noted the impressive acoustics of Symphony Hall as a main selling point for attending future concerts. If you can't score tickets to an orchestra performance, consider taking a free tour of Symphony Hall. Tours, which are offered in the fall, winter and spring, provide information about the property, as well as insight into the orchestra's musicians and conductors.

Inside, history fans can admire the building's sweeping beams, spacious fireplaces and some original furnishings owned by the Revere family.

If you like American history, travelers say you'll enjoy seeing the Paul Revere House. This house is small, though, so don't allot more than an hour to tour the property. Docents are friendly and knowledgeable.

Massachusetts State House Massachusetts State House free

The golden-domed Massachusetts State House is an important building for many reasons and is one of the stops on the Freedom Trail . The land it sits on was originally used as John Hancock’s cow pasture. It was designed by Charles Bulfinch and completed in 1798 and the cornerstone was laid by Samuel Adams in 1795. A copper dome was installed by Paul Revere in 1802 (later covered in gold). Nowadays, senators, state representatives and the governor conduct the Commonwealth's business here.

Free tours are offered by docents who explain the building's history and discuss the important art and architecture within. Make sure to look for the Sacred Cod in the House of Representatives Chamber. The almost 5-foot wooden cod symbolizes the importance of the salt cod industry to the area.

New England Aquarium New England Aquarium

Your kids will find plenty to love at the New England Aquarium, starting with the Atlantic harbor seals that hang out just beyond the ticket booth. Inside, you'll find thousands of marine critters to study, and at the center: the Giant Ocean Tank. This four-story tank includes a coral reef habitat that houses more than 1,000 underwater creatures including green sea turtles, eels and barracuda. In other parts of the aquarium, you'll find exhibits dedicated to penguins, sea jellies and seadragons, plus a six-story high projection movie screen with digital surround sound, where you can watch films about sea creatures and more. And don't forget to check out the Shark and Ray Touch Tank, which allows visitors to graze sharks and rays as they swim by.

While some visitors bemoan the aquarium's compact size (which, in turn, made for thick crowds), many appreciate the attraction's variety of animals. Several travelers also recommend watching a penguin or seal feeding.

USS Constitution USS Constitution free

U.S. News Insider Tip: Every July 4th, the USS Constitution takes her annual "turnaround" sail in Boston Harbor. The particular sail is the only one open to the public and the US Navy holds a lottery with the lucky winners getting to board "Old Ironsides." – Jill LeGrow

History lovers, boat enthusiasts and military aficionados alike can't miss the chance to board the USS Constitution. Docked at the Boston National Historical Park in Charlestown, this historic vessel is the world's oldest commissioned warship still operational today. It is helmed by United States Navy sailors, who also serve as the ship's guides. The ship's accompanying museums displays nearly 2,000 artifacts related to the ship's history.

Bunker Hill Monument Bunker Hill Monument free

Bunker Hill Monument is part of the Boston National Historical Park and a stop on the Freedom Trail . The first major battle of the American Revolution took place on Breed's Hill in June 1775, though originally it was supposed to take place on nearby Bunker Hill. Names aside, the British won the battle but fared worse than their American foes. The British sacrificed about nearly half of their 2,400 men; American casualties were between 300 and 500 out of an army of 1,400 to 1,800 soldiers. Construction of the monument started in 1827 and was completed in 1842. The 221-foot granite obelisk offers fabulous views from its observatory, though you have to work for it by climbing 294 steps to the top.

Start your visit at the Bunker Hill Museum, located across the street. Exhibits explain the Battle of Bunker Hill, the construction of the monument, and the history of Charlestown. Free tickets are required to climb the monument and you can also pick them up at the museum. Visitors enjoy the museum and say the monument is awe-inspiring and the grounds beautiful.

The Mapparium The Mapparium

Located at the Mary Baker Eddy Library, this three-story, stained glass globe never fails to elicit wonder. Designed by the architect of the Christian Science Publishing Society building, Chester Lindsay Churchill, the globe depicts the world as it was in 1935.

The "How Do You See the World" experience includes the globe; the "Our World: Mapping Progress," which highlights humanity's achievements since 1935; and "Points of Progress," where you can learn about significant events in human rights, scientific advances, exploration, and other fields. A 10-minute audio narration features clips from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jane Goodall, Wangari Maathai (a Kenyan Nobel laureate) and others. One of the coolest features of the globe is that it is a "whispering gallery." Stand at one end of the gallery while a friend stands at the other. Whisper something to them and they will be the only one to hear it.

This special area teems with whales, dolphins, and sea birds and you may see humpback, minkes, pilot whales, finances, and endangered right whales. The staff naturalists offer fascinating insights into animal behavior. 

Tours depart throughout the day from mid-March to the end of November from Long Wharf, near the New England Aquarium and it’s possible to buy combination tickets that will help you save some money when visiting both attractions.

17. Emerald Necklace Bike Tour

Led by the team at Urban AdvenTours , the 15-mile Emerald Necklace Bike Tour takes riders through the lovely Emerald Necklace Park System. Designed by Frederick Law Olmstead of NYC Central Park fame, this park system incorporates many of Boston’s most popular green spaces and snakes its way through the heart of Boston. 

Along the way, you’ll see the Boston Common, Charles River Esplanade, the Museum of Fine Arts, and many more amazing places. If you would love to do the tour but aren’t sure about making it the full 15 miles, you can upgrade to an e-bike that will do a lot of the work for you!

18. Boston Harbor Sunset Cruise

Imagine yourself cruising along the Boston Harbor as the sky explodes into a sea of colors and the city lights come to life all around you. Boston harbor cruises are a great way to get a new perspective on the city and a Boston Harbor Sunset Cruise by the Classic Harbor Line Boston is one of the best ways to finish off a long day of sightseeing.

The journey begins with a voyage to Fort Independence before circling back to the inner harbor area to see the Leonard Zakim Bridge, Mystic Tobin Bridge, Customs House Tower, the steeple of the Old North Church, the USS Constitution, and the Bunker Hill Monument. Make sure to keep your eyes and ears out for the cannon that is fired on the USS Constitution every night to announce the sunset. If you prefer a slightly slower pace, they also offer a two-hour sunset sail on an 80-foot pilot schooner, passing by the Boston Seaport District, and the Inner Harbor Islands 

Food Tours and Pub Crawls

If your idea of a great vacation is eating and drinking your way through all the gastronomical treasures on offer, we know how you feel! Boston has a mouth-watering variety of food tours on offer which gives visitors the chance to try some of the best dishes in the city, regardless if you’re looking for a slice of pizza or a perfectly prepared lobster roll. There are also some great bar crawls that take you through some of the city’s historic pubs. To read more about Boston’s best watering holes, take a look at this list of the 25+ Best Bars in Boston . 

19. North End Pizza Tour

Run by Boston Pizza Tours , the two-hour North End Pizza Tour takes you to some of Boston’s best pizza joints in Boston’s very own Little Italy, passing by five different Freedom Trail sites on the way. The guides not only give you insight into Boston’s culinary scene but they also can teach you about Boston’s long history throughout the tour. Make sure to come hungry as the tour price includes three full-size pizza slices and a delicious cannoli. For an extra fee, vegan and gluten-free options can be made available. 

20. North End Food Tour

The wonderfully named Off the Eaten Path Food Tours offers a three-hour food tour of the North End with stops at two legendary Boston eateries, Bricco Panetteria and Galleria Umberto. Throughout the tour, you’ll get a fascinating history and architecture lesson covering everything there is to know about the neighborhood from your expert guides as well as useful tips on how to choose the best balsamic vinegar and olive oil to take home with you! Currently, tours run every day except Sunday.

21. Sweet and Savoury Southend Tour

Organized by Bites of Boston , this cultural walk and food tour takes you through Boston’s Southend stopping at five to six local eateries for a delectable array of tastings including everything from a popular bakery to a restaurant serving up Venezuelan specialties. The tour lasts around three hours and covers about one mile of distance. 

If you’re interested in even more options, Bites of Boston also offer tours of Chinatown and Allston as well as a Classic Bites of Boston Tour which covers all of the dishes that Boston is famous for including lobster rolls, baked beans, and, of course, Boston Cream Pie!

22. Independence Pub Crawl

Part bar crawl, part Freedom Trail tour, this lively pub tour organized by Boston Crawling stops by some of Beantown’s most historic bars and taverns. During the two-hour tour, you’ll visit the former watering holes of some of the most notable people in American history, including some of the Founding Fathers. 

Tours include four draft beers or ciders, which gives you plenty of time to keep the party going after the tour is finished. All participants must be over 21 years old (for obvious reasons). This is the perfect activity for history buffs and beer lovers! If you’re traveling with a group, you can also organize private tours that work around your schedule.

23. Back Bay Beat Bar Crawl Scavenger Hunt

Another fantastic creation by Let’s Roam, the Back Bay Beat Bar Crawl is the perfect opportunity to let your hair down a bit with some of your nearest and dearest. The scavenger hunt will take you to historic Irish pubs to trendy dance clubs and everywhere in between as you crawl along Boylston Street. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience some of Boston’s best nightspots but you also have the chance to create new memories that you’ll never forget (if you can remember them!)

With miles upon miles of stunning coastline and interesting cities and towns to check out, no trip to Boston is complete without taking at least one day trip outside of the city. Below you can find a list of some of the best day trips to do just a short drive or boat ride from Boston.

24. Martha’s Vineyard Day Trip

The breathtaking island of Martha’s Vineyard has long been the stomping grounds of some of America’s rich and famous who have been attracted by its charming towns, picturesque houses, and pristine beaches. This fantastic day trip by New England Trips allows you to visit this beautiful island and make it back to Boston in time for dinner! The tour includes a bus transfer from Boston to Cape Cod where you’ll jump on a ferry to the island. During the trip, you’ll have panoramic views of Vineyard Sound. You can either explore the island independently or upgrade to a three-hour guided tour.

25. Provincetown Day Trip

Located on the far tip of Cape Cod, Provincetown is surrounded by rolling sand dunes, the thundering ocean, and frolicking sea birds. As the oldest settlement on Cape Cod, the streets are lined with restaurants, shops, and bars where you can spend hours trying out delicious food or picking out some souvenirs to take home with you. Luckily, this charming area is easily accessed from Boston via the Provincetown Fast Ferry. Ferries leave from Long Wharf, just a few minutes away from the New England Aquarium. The ride should take just about 90 minutes and then you’re free to explore at your own leisure.

26. Lexington and Concord Day Trip

Operated by Grayline Tours , this Lexington and Concord Day Trip takes visitors to the spot where the first shots of the American Revolution were fired and follows in the footsteps of Paul Revere himself. Along the way, there is a brief stop in Cambridge to view Cambridge Common where George Washington took control of the Continental Army before reaching Lexington Common. It was here that the Minutemen fought bravely against the British army and set the stage for a battle that would change history forever. 

After visiting Lexington, the tour continues to Concord where literary greats Hawthorne, Alcott, and Emerson lived. The tour lasts around four hours and pick-up service is available from Boston hotels. It’s the perfect way to learn about the region’s Revolutionary War history and the bravery and heroism shown by the soldiers that fought against the British.

27. Salem Day Trip

Salem, Massachusetts is infamous for the witch trials that took place there hundreds of years ago, and today, you can visit many of the historic sites attached to this chilling era. There are a few different ways to experience this historic city from Boston. You can either make your way out there by car or public transport and then join one of the many guided tours or you can join a small group tour leaving from Boston. 

Naturally (or should we say supernaturally?), some of the most popular tours are the ghost tours that generally take visitors to the Witch House, Ropes Mansion, and the Burying Point, which are all supposed to be haunted. To learn more about the city, check out this list of the Best Things to Do in Salem, MA .

Alternatively, you can join Gray Line’s Salem and Marblehead Day Trip . The tour begins with a quick stop in Marblehead before continuing to Salem where guests will have the chance to explore the city on their own. As the birthplace of the American Navy, Marblehead is a great addition for anyone interested in military history and this combined tour is perfect for people who want to visit Salem without having to worry about driving or using public transportation. The tour lasts around seven hours and pick-up service is available from Boston hotels.

The Ultimate Self-Guided Tour: Boston

Fall is here – the weather is just right, pumpkin spice is in the air, and people are planning their holiday travels. While making a list of must visit places for Fall foliage, Boston should be on the top. Worth a visit any time of the year (except, maybe, winter), Boston is very easy to get around on a budget and exceptionally gorgeous during Fall. Use this quick list to check out the best attractions on your self-guided tour of Boston.

• The Freedom Trail

No tour of Boston is complete without dedicating a whole day to walk the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile pathway, guided by a red line connecting 16 historical sites prominent during the city’s revolutionary era. Wear some good walking shoes and take the MBTA to Park Station to start the Freedom Trail at Boston Common, America’s first public park.

• Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill is a beautiful neighborhood that almost takes you back in time with historical landmarks, brick row houses, and antique lanterns. You will visit this neighborhood as part of the Freedom Trail (stop 2 – Massachusetts State House).

• Faneuil Hall Marketplace

Whether you come here as part of the Freedom Trail or do it separately, plan to get here around lunch time because Faneuil Hall, along with Quincy market, North market and South market is one of the most visited marketplaces in America with plenty of indoor and outdoor eateries. Try an Oyster shot or Clam Chowder.

One of the oldest residential neighborhoods, North Ends is a lovely neighborhood lined with Italian restaurants, cafes and pretty houses decorated with the colors of Fall. The pizza and Arancini at Galleria Umberto come highly recommended.

• Old North Church

The 18th century church was the location where two lanterns were held high to indicate the arrival of the British by sea, thus marking the start of the American revolution.

• Union Oyster House

A visit to Union Oyster House is highly recommended, for many reasons including and not limited to – it is one of the oldest restaurants in America, a National Historic Landmark, it was visited by some prominent revolutionaries, and of course, they have amazing oysters.

Back Bay is one of Boston’s wealthiest neighborhoods with rows of Victorian buildings. Here you will find Copley Square and some famous landmarks – Trinity Church, Boston Public Library and Prudential Center, among others. If you’re in to spend some cash, you could go up to the Sky Walk Observatory in Prudential Center for 360º views of Boston.

• Newbury Street and Commonwealth Ave

To watch some that famous Boston Fall foliage, walk down from Prudential Center to Newbury Street. Spend some time at the park near Commonwealth Ave underneath the red, orange and green trees, walk around exploring the unique boutiques or grab a bite at one of the quaint cafes on Newbury St.

• Boston Museum of Fine Arts

As with any good museum, this one can take anywhere from a few hours to an entire day but it is definitely worth the visit.

The 11 Most Scenic Day Trips From Boston

Part of Boston’s appeal is the fact that it lies in the heart of New England, surrounded by charming towns and other quaint locales away from the city. Whether it’s a historic seaside village, a serene foliage tour or an alluring beach escape, there are many scenic getaways easily accessible from Boston that provide a quintessential New England experience.

Salem and marblehead.

Located just north of Boston along the coast, Salem has long been one of New England’s most popular tourist destinations. The ‘Witch City’ – known for the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 – offers a variety of museums and historic homes dedicated to the city’s history, including the Salem Witch Museum, The House of Seven Gables and The Witch House. For those less interested in the supernatural, make sure to check out the Friendship of Salem, a replica 1797 East Indiaman ship that sits at Derby Wharf.

Neighboring Salem along the coast and more of a hidden gem is the quaint, seaside town of Marblehead, known as the birthplace of the American Navy. The historic fishing and boating town is home to the famous Revolutionary War painting, The Spirit of ’76 – find it at Abbot Hall. Marblehead also boasts beautiful panoramic ocean views as well as one of the prettiest harbors in New England. Check out the sights from Castle Rock or Fort Sewall, or view the old homes in picturesque Old Town, most of which date back to the early 1700s. Luckily, this tour allows you to experience the best of both Salem and Marblehead.

At the edge of Massachusetts’s so-called “elbow” (named since the western side of the state is vaguely shaped like a flexing arm) and a stone’s throw from Cape Cod sits the historic town of Plymouth . The town, which generates a quaint New England feel with ocean views and a charming downtown area, is home to Plymouth Rock, where European settlers disembarked from the Mayflower in 1620.

There’s also Plimoth Plantation , a re-creation of a 17th-century village. It features a working grist mill on one end and tipis on the other side for a unique look at what life was like for the Native Americans who lived here at the time and the immigrating Pilgrims. For a truly local experience in town, check out the Plymouth Farmers’ Market on the plantation grounds. It takes place weekly from June through October.

Cape Cod excursion

With a slew of coastal towns and stunning beaches, Cape Cod is an essential New England summer experience. The peninsula, which is under a two-hour drive from the city, is home to classic colonial architecture, historic fishing villages and some of the best seafood in New England. Take the Old King’s Highway through the town of Sandwich, and stop for a harbor cruise in Hyannis before making your way to the charming small town of Chatham. The Cape Cod National Seashore, a 40-mile (64.3-kilometer) stretch of rugged coastline, is also a perfect spot for a scenic drive, walk or sunrise view.

Martha’s Vineyard

Located 7mi (11.2km) off the coast of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard (also known as The Vineyard) is a unique island escape within reach of Boston. The 100-square-mile (259-square-kilometer) island is home to a few rural towns “up-island” and several – and more popular – historic villages “down-island,” including Edgartown, Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven. The Vineyard, which served as the setting for the movie Jaws , is most popular for Gay Head Cliffs, the gingerbread cottages in Oak Bluffs and its numerous beaches. However, check out one of its five historic lighthouses as well. Nantucket, the smaller of the two Cape Cod islands, sits 30mi (48.2km) off the Cape and is just as picturesque but slightly less accessible for a day trip from the city.

Provincetown

Keep going across the elbow of the Cape, and you’ll hit Provincetown, accessible by a two-hour drive from the city or a 90-minute ferry ride. The town, located at the very tip of Cape Cod, is well known for its vibrant arts scene as well as its LGBTQ history and culture. Indeed, it boasts the title of the “ Oldest Continuous Arts Colony in America .” It’s home to numerous festivals and parades each year, including Carnival, a week-long celebration of the LGBTQ community. Since much of the town is part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, there are many beaches, hiking trails and nature preserves to explore.

Rockport and Gloucester

Surrounded by water on three sides at the tip of the Cape Ann, Rockport is one of Massachusetts’s classic coastal towns. With several mouthwatering fresh seafood restaurants and a vibrant arts scene, there’s plenty to occupy a full day in the small village. Take in a show at the well-known Shalin Liu Performance Center, or go for a walk through Halibut Point State Park. Also, go shopping down the eclectic Bearskin Neck area. For one of the best lobster rolls in New England, visit the Mile Marker One Restaurant in neighboring Gloucester, another quaint fishing village.

Lexington and Concord

Ideal for history lovers, the towns of Lexington and Concord are just a short drive west of Boston and are home to a few of the most important sites of the American Revolution. Visit where the first shots of the war for independence were fired, and follow the trail Paul Revere took on his “midnight ride.” In Concord, the homes of Louisa May Alcott and Ralph Waldo Emerson are open to the public, and the historic Old North Bridge is an ideal spot for pictures in the fall.

Newport, Rhode Island

With its elegant mansions and cute downtown, Newport, Rhode Island , is a perfect place to spend time during a New England summer. The coastal city, about a 90-minute drive from Boston, has long been the summer stomping ground of some of the wealthiest families in America. Among the best estates to see are The Breakers (a mansion built for the Vanderbilt family in 1893) and the Marble House (a Gilded Age mansion built with 500,000 cubic feet [14,158 cubic meters] of marble). To top it off, take a ride down Ocean Drive, a 10mi (16km) scenic drive that features stunning ocean and mansion views.

Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Located just an hour drive from Boston along the border of Maine, Portsmouth is a historic seaport city. It has a history dating back to the 1600s and was an essential seaport during the beginning of the American Revolution. Today, Portsmouth is a vibrant coastal town with trendy restaurants, shops and art festivals. The best way to experience the area is by exploring the cobblestone walkways downtown and venturing down the numerous sidestreets filled with local shops. For a true New England atmosphere, stop by during the winter months when the snow-lined streets are decorated with lights and winter decorations.

Visit the Maine coastline

Slightly north of Portsmouth in Maine and still within a day trip of Boston sits the seaside towns of York, Ogunquit and Kennebunkport, Maine. Within a 30-minute drive of each other, these beautiful towns are home to a slew of downtown shops and beaches. See a regional production at the historic Ogunquit Playhouse after a day at Ogunquit Beach. Alternatively, walk around the quaint streets of Kennebunkport after having lunch at Alisson’s (make sure to get the lobster mac and cheese). There’s also the enormous Bush Compound at Walker’s Point (the ‘Summer White House’ of the late President George HW Bush) and the Wedding Cake House (the “most photographed house in the state of Maine”) to check out.

Fall foliage tour through New Hampshire

Just a short drive north up Interstate 93, New Hampshire is an excellent spot to witness New England’s fall foliage. The month of October is the ideal time to see the leaves turn into a mix of red, bright orange and yellow. Make sure to stop at one of the old covered bridges along the way – such as the one in the Willard Brook State Forest – for a perfect picture. Add in time to visit an apple-picking farm to pick some fruit, and try a bite of a home-made apple cider doughnut.
