When to Go

 

The best time to visit Boston is May through October. Boston is beautiful in the fall, as the leaves turn, lighting the city ablaze with color, and the air feels crisp as a McIntosh apple.

Springtime is also lovely, with the city in bloom. Summer sees the most visitors, as music flows from the Boston Hatch Shell, baseball season at Fenway Park is well underway, and the skies along the Charles River light up with fireworks on the fourth of July.

Fast Facts

The bright green left field wall at Fenway Park, revered home of the Red Sox, was once referred to as the Wall, and later, the Green Monster.

The Freedom Trail traverses sixteen of Boston’s most historical sites, including the Paul Revere House, Old North Church and Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Although Revere didn't actually yell, “The British are coming,” he did manage to warn his fellow colonists about the British invasion. And the rest is American history.
