Fans of the Red Sox (or those who love to hate ‘em) can make the short 25-minute drive to Fenway Park to catch a home game or take a tour of the Green Monster. More bookish travelers might instead visit Cambridge’s Harvard Square, home to its namesake ivied institution, along with a number of lovely bars, restaurants, bookstores, museums and more. Nearby Salem is especially bustling around Halloween, but visitors can soak up its dark history year-round at the Witch Museum and other themed sites.
