Are you looking for places to visit in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts is truly one of the gems on the East Coast of
USA and it’s one of the most popular summer vacation spots
in New England.
Despite Massachusetts size, there are literary hundreds of
wonderful places to visit in Massachusetts to list them all,
but I’d list down the places I enjoy and that I think you'll
enjoy the most:
Boston
Boston is one of my favorite places to visit in
Massachusetts because of its rich history. The minute you
arrive in Boston, you can tell how historic the city is by
looking at the buildings.
The University of Harvard is one of the best places to
notice Boston historic feel. You can wander around the
campus, which is massive and explore various sites such as
Massachusetts Hall, John Harvard Statue and Harry Widner
Memorial Library.
If you follow Boston Freedom Trail from Boston Common,
you’ll go past some of the most famed buildings in the city
such us Massachusetts State House, Old South Meeting and
Faneuil Hall and Marketplace.
Apart from exploring the historic downtown area of the city,
you can also enjoy whale-watching in Boston if you travel
here between December and March.
Plymouth
The town of Plymouth is a very charming place with plenty of
shops, restaurants and museums, and you could definitely
plan a fun day out here.
Plimoth Plantation is one of my favorite places to visit in
Massachusetts, and this place is a true living museum and a
fun place to take the whole family out.
Plimoth Plantation is an educational but fun place where you
can learn how life would’ve been like for the early
settlers. The plantation also has many exhibits and
activities to watch and participate in.
When you visit the plantation, you also have access to the
famous Mayflower II site, where you can enjoy live demos on
tying knots, and at the end you get to go onboard of the
magnificent ship.
While in Plymouth, you should also check out Plymouth Rock,
which marks the spot where the first settlers set foot.
Northampton
Northampton should definitely be on your list of places to
visit in Massachusetts, as it is one of the few places to
taste "the real America". The town has a relaxed, friendly
and calmed vibe that reminds you very much of Vermont.
The locals are friendly and you’ll feel right at home here.
Northampton has lovely cafes, restaurants, beautiful scenery
and the main shopping mall is a great place to enjoy a fun
and hassle-free shopping time.
Northampton is also a great place for leaf-peepers and it's
one of the best destinations in November. However, if you
come here in September you’ll get to see the leaf color
change and appreciate why Massachusetts is one of the best
places to see fall foliage.
Cape Cod
Cape Cod is renowned for being home to some of the best
family beaches on east coast. Cape Cod is one of the top
paces to vacation with kids, and during the summer months
this places is filled with families looking to enjoy a well
deserved summer vacation.
If you’re looking for fun things to do with the family in
Cape Cod, you’d love exploring the beautiful Cape Cod
National Seashore.
