About Massachusetts
Known for
Boston’s Revolutionary War history, world-class universities, and New England coastal character.
Best time to visit
Late spring through fall (May-October), with September-October standing out for fall foliage -- winters (December-February) are cold with regular snow.
Getting around
Boston is walkable and has a subway system (the ‘T’) -- a car is unnecessary within the city.
Suggested trip length
3-4 days covers Boston’s historic core well.
