Where To Go

Four Massachusetts trips with very different personalities.

Pick the experience first — city history, Halloween atmosphere, ocean towns or scenic countryside.

Eastern Massachusetts

Boston

American history, waterfront neighborhoods, sports, food and a city that rewards exploring on foot.

North Shore

Salem

Historic streets, fall color and Halloween season make Salem one of Massachusetts' most recognizable seasonal trips.

Cape Cod

Beaches, lighthouses, seafood and the relaxed coastal towns that define a classic Massachusetts summer.

Berkshires Massachusetts fall scenic road

Western Massachusetts

The Berkshires

Fall color, small towns, scenic drives and a quieter side of Massachusetts away from the coast.

What To Do

Choose the kind of Massachusetts trip you want.

Rather than trying to cover the entire state, build your trip around one of these strong experiences.

History & Boston

Historic sites, neighborhoods, waterfront walks and food make Boston an easy long-weekend destination.

Beaches & Coastal Escapes

Cape Cod and the coast are best when you leave room for beaches, seafood stops and wandering through seaside towns.

Fall & Halloween

Salem is the headline, but fall color and historic New England towns make autumn one of the state's best seasons.

Seasonal Spotlight

Salem gets spooky.

October turns Salem into one of New England's most recognizable fall destinations. If Halloween atmosphere is the goal, plan lodging and activities early rather than treating it like an ordinary weekend getaway.

Places To Stay

City hotel, Cape stay or vacation rental?

Hotels make Boston simple. Cape Cod and longer coastal trips can be a better fit for vacation rentals, especially for families and groups.
