Luxury holidays in Salem

When to go

Salem’s cobblestone streets are at their most vibrant in fall, peaking in October, with seasonal colour and witch-themed Halloween events. From April to September, this New England city dons its summer finery.

Getting there

• Planes

  Boston’s Logan Airport is the best for international and domestic flights, just 30 minutes by road from Salem.

• Trains

  The MBTA Commuter Rail has direct 35-minute services from Boston’s North Station to downtown Salem.
