MAIN GEOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES
WHAT TO VISIT IN BOSTON?
Boston Common and the nearby downtown and key districts
(Theatre District, Chinatown, Beacon Hill...)
are Boston's heart - a heart surrounded by the wharfs and the harbor on one side, and the Charles River on the other
(see
Boston's Map).
The best way to visit downtown is to follow the Freedom Trail
(self-guided trail, referenced by a line of red bricks in the
pavement). It begins on the top North of Boston Common, at the
Visitor Information Center, and allows you to visit or see key
historic sites as the State House, the Park Street Church, the
Old Granary Burying Ground, the King's Chapel Ground, and so on.
It's largely a trip in Boston and American history.
The best way to visit Cambridge University with its Harvard
Yard, the Longfellow House and its several museums is to is to
get a ride across the Charles river. It's just some minutes and
allows another good view of the city.

BEST TIME TO
TRAVEL TO MASSACHUSETTS
The
Massachusetts weather
isn't very different
from the New York weather: it's a little colder (or fresher in
Summer) and it snows more days in winter (around 42 days in
Boston and 29 days in New York).
But in the whole is very similar: very changeable, with moderate precipitation all over the year,
and some heat waves in summer and very cool days in winter
and even in the early spring. Snow is concentrated in
the period December-March, but not precipitation: it rains all
over the year (above 9 days per month, average, in Boston).
If we only consider the weather issue, then the best time to
visit Massachusetts is undoubtedly spring - April, May, June – or
late-summer and early-fall – September, October…
But… it all
depends on what you value most.
Boston is a all year round destination, with attractions for
many tastes...
WHEN NOT TO GO TO
MASSACHUSETTS
The period that goes from late May to August are particularly
crowded in the beaches around Boston. Weekends are almost
dramatic. Avoid the weekends of that period, in places as Cape
Cod and seashore in general.
July and August may also have some uncomfortable days for a
visit to Boston, due to high humidity and temperatures.
Low temperatures and snow may also turn uncomfortable your
visits, mainly if you don't want to restrict them to
entertainment, nightlife or indoor activities in the city.
