places to see in Massachusetts. It’s one of those US states that have a little bit of everything; even if it’s much smaller than some of its siblings! Though, size isn’t everything – the relatively small city of Salem is a testament to this. Trust me, there are so many historic and best things to do in Salem that you’ll end up being spoilt for choice.
Just remember it closes on Tuesday and Wednesday, so plan around these days.
Visiting Pickering Wharf is easily one of the best things to do in Salem. Right on the waterfront, it’s a harbourside area, with a gorgeous little marina that’s well worth visiting for a few hours.
Best of all, Salem is relatively close to the gorgeous city of Boston, too. Salem is only around 35 minutes from the centre of Boston by car, and around 30 minutes by train (on the Newbury/Rockport line).
1.) Peabody Essex Museum
Nowadays a museum, The House of Seven Gables occupies a colonial mansion from the year 1688 that’s so incredible to see. It even gained notoriety when Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote his novel titled The House of the Seven Gables. Do you know that one?
This all makes Salem an incredible city to visit when exploring Massachusetts; especially if you’re interested in the city’s infamous history and the Salem Witch Trials, dating way back to 1692.
Showcasing 17th-century architecture, the building has been carefully preserved in its original appearance.
Another epic walking tour of Salem is the Ghosts, Witches, & Warlocks Guided Walking Tour which offers an award-winning tour which takes about 60 minutes and is solely by foot.
