Massachusetts is a state that truly has it all—history, energy, coastline, and charm. Boston is an incredible city to explore with so much to do: watch the Red Sox at Fenway, grab Italian food in the South End, bar hop with friends, or wait in line for one of Mike’s Pastries' famous cannolis. But beyond the city, Massachusetts transforms into a nature-lover’s dream, with hiking spots like Bash Bish Falls and peaceful escapes that feel worlds away. In the fall, Salem becomes one of the most unique destinations in the U.S., blending Halloween magic with real historical stories of the witch trials.
