1. EXPERIENCE THE CITY LIFE IN BOSTON

Boston is a fantastic US city and it offers so much to those who visit. Seeped in rich history and packed with amazing shopping, dining and night-life options, it ticks so many boxes. While in Boston, be sure to visit Harvard University, walk the Freedom Trail and visit the famous Quincy Market! We also recommend you attend a local sporting event for a true, Bostonian experience!

Massachusetts is home to some incredible coastal towns and villages and one of our favourite areas is Cape Cod. With quaint villages, incredible beaches and just the right amount of lighthouses, Cape Cod is like something from a dream! This East Coast gem is perfect for families and during the summer months, you really see it at its best. When in the area, why not rent a car and go explore local areas including Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.

One of Massachusetts’ most famous towns is Salem, the witching capital of the world! Salem is a fantastic place to visit on a day trip from Boston or on a road trip of Massachusetts. This fascinating town is like nowhere else and is seeped in rich history. While there, be sure to explore its local museums, visit the famous ‘Witch House’; the only building standing from the witch trials and during the fall, enjoy a mulled cider as you take a walk among the leaves in Salem Common. If you’re a Hocus Pocus fan, be sure to keep an eye out for locations from the movie including the High School and Alison’s house!
