Day trips from Boston
Getting out of town for the day is a great way to refresh, reconnect, and have fun together. Here are our bets for the top three best day trips within range of Boston. Have fun!
Salem is about more than the crazy and amazing history of witch hunts in America, although there is plenty of that, too. Salem is also chock full of historic homes, maritime history, and whaling.
Speaking of whaling history, New Bedford is the home of Herman Melville, and has an amazing whaling museum to boot. Check out this charming and interesting little town, which is still a thriving shipping port.
Looking for something a little more artsy and fun? Check out Gloucester, the oldest fishing port in America, which is experiencing a renaissance as an artist’s colony.
