5 Best Ways to Enjoy the Fall in Boston for Visitors

Boston Massachusetts is one of the gems of New England and a great place to bring the family. Fall in Boston is arguably the best time to visit.

Thinking about a vacation in Boston? Here is a must-see/do list that you will need for your fall vacation destination.


1. Oh, the Food!

One thing that you must do is compare the two famous bakeries just one block from each other in the upper north end of Boston. Bova’s has been in business since 1932, and Mike’s since 1946.


Take a walk through Chinatown for some authentic Chinese bakeries and restaurants, and for a bit of cultural immersion.


And, don’t worry if you dropped a little something on your shirt at dinner, let the folks at Utopia Cleaners handle that for you.

2. Arts & History Attractions in Boston

Wednesdays after 3 pm at The Boston Museum of Fine Arts is only $5, and always has some great installations to check out. Allow yourself at least an hour as the museum has 3 levels and over 51,000 square feet of art space to enjoy.


If you’re into a different type of art, you won’t want to miss these:

  • Graffiti Alley

  • The murals of Lynn & Salem

There are a few different trolley bus tours that offer guided historical sightseeing through the city if you are ready for a history lesson.


While the weather is great, seasonal allergies do happen. Don’t let hayfever ruin your day. Stop by your local pharmacy for some allergy medicine.


3. Boston Has Great Parks

Did you know that Boston has over 200 parks? There are waterfront parks, parks downtown, and plenty of parks with playgrounds to take the kids to.


The Boston Public Garden is in the heart of Boston, attached to the Commons. And, Franklin Park is the largest in the city.


4. Nothing Beats A Halloween in Boston

Bostonians love the fall, and especially Halloween. There are plenty of bar crawls, parties, and events all across the city to celebrate the spooky holiday.


Salem is only a short drive away and they start celebrating early with a parade in early October. They will have scary witch-themed events throughout the month and end with a huge fireworks display on Halloween night over the Harbor.


Take the night off, you deserve it! Leave the kids with the babysitter, and call into Visiting Angels for companion care for your elderly loved ones.


5. Leaf Peeping

All over the New England area, the fall foliage brings visitors from near and far to see the leaves changing bright tones of red, orange, and yellow. This plus the crisp cool air makes for great camping weather.


Throwing dinner on the grill is one of the favorite fall activities in Boston. Don’t forget to fill up the propane tank at AGP Gas beforehand!


Fall in Boston!

Beantown is always a lively place to visit at any time of year. Fall in Boston, however, is very special as the leaves are brightly colored and the air is crisp and cool; plus, all the seasonal foods and drinks to enjoy while exploring the city.
