Boston is a fabulous city all year round. But during Fall it fills with tourists looking for the enchanting festival of colors and student atmosphere.
We suggest some points of interest, especially pleasant during Fall, so you can enjoy the magic this season brings to the city of Boston.
The Esplanade
Stroll along the Charles River Esplanade to enjoy a fall view of foliage in varying shades of yellow, orange and red. The reflection of the trees in the waters of the Charles River, right in front of Beacon Hill and Back Bay, will leave you absolutely dazzled.
Back Bay
Take the opportunity to explore this beautiful area, moving from Commonwealth Avenue to Hereford Street, Marlborough Street and Dartmouth Street.
In the elegant neighborhood of Back Bay, more precisely on Commonwealth Avenue, you will find a path lined with trees, where tourists and locals enjoy the beauty of Fall colors for running and walking.
Rose Kennedy Greenway
This natural park, right in the heart of Boston, features trees, shrubs, magnificent plants and colorful cascading flowers. Walk to the North End, where you can take a ride on the carousel in the warm Fall sunshine.

The Arnold Arboretum, at Harvard University, has a collection of 5,000 species, offering an authentic free foliage festival, as well as apples, cider, storytelling, music and leaf crafts.
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is a place of worship for tourists and locals alike. It is located in the historic Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood with unique architecture, lush gardens and tapestries, and houses an impressive collection of fine art, furniture, decorative objects and more.
