WHAT TO VISIT IN
MASSACHUSETTS?
Boston
and Cape Cod and the Islands are the top tourist attractions in
the Massachusetts State. Provincetown, in the Cape Cod is, with
Boston, the travel jewels of Massachusetts.
But we should also remember small towns not very far from
Boston, as the historic Salem or Marblehead, or Lexington and
Concord. Or the south shore, with places as Plymouth and New
Bedford, or the Central and Western Massachusetts, with places
as Worcester and Springfield, or Anherst and the Berkshires.

BEST TIME TO
TRAVEL TO MASSACHUSETTS
Massachusetts weather
isn't very different
from 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 be very uncomfortable months 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 Boston.
