@KazzyH thank you!
@LotSixteen you are welcome I hope you have a great time!
@KazzyH I plan to. This visit should be considerably more relaxed than the last. How practical is it to try and schedule a side trip to Salem while there?
Oh it's a hop, skip and a jump away. 30 mins by train around $ 3.00 there is also a ferry that's a bit pricey and takes a little longer but it's an option.
I would think 2-3 hours would be enough to see the sites & grab a bite & brew.
It's a nice little city. 😁
Maybe a bit longer than 2-3 hours if you are eating. But certainly it can be done as a side trip.
I loved the house of 7 gables and the Peabody Essex museum.
I've gone during Halloween which was next to impossible due to crowds. Hopefully not as crowded during the summer months but it is a tourist destination.
@KazzyH We plan on getting there early on October 13th and heading back on the 16th. What is the best option for getting there?
I would check out the train schedule. It's an easy 30 mins and it's direct. Unsure about the hours though.
Driving in Boston is a challenge.
@KazzyH excellent suggestion! Thank you!!
Weekends in October will be prime time in Salem so perhaps add a bit more time onto the trip. 👻🎃
@LotSixteen Harbor Walk. Institute of Contemporary Art. Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Lunch on Salem St in the North End.
@AmserJ Thank you
@LotSixteen
Boston duck tours used to be a favorite when folks came into town to see us.
They are pricey but have a discount coupon if you like to tour early.
They are also historically correct.
And... fun!
