    Take the Trolley Tour early in the morning! You'll get a great city overview & it will help you figure out which sites to visit. You can also use it as a bus to get to these places all day long!

    A fun town to visit for a day or two. Most of Salem’s Witch history has been removed and now it’s a bunch of corny museums. Note: Not many public restrooms and long lines for the few that you find.

    Salem was founded in 1630 and was originally called Naumkeag which meant "fishing place". Salem was a large area that eventually all became separate cities and towns.

    Gulu Cafe is a great place. You can get coffee or wine, or a sandwich. They have Wed open mic

    A lot of places to see, beers and food to sample, and costumes to observe (if you're here for Halloween).

    Stay at The Hawthorne Hotel. Witches Tees is a great place for shirts & Hoodies. Crow Haven Corner and HEX are also interesting spots to check out.

    Factory Soup on Washington St. is a nice and cozy place for any time of the day. I recommend the lemon chicken and chili.

    Living in New England, Salem is a must during Halloween, with plenty of festive activities to enjoy with your sisters!

    I have to say I felt a little bit disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it's a really beautiful place, but I was hoping for more haunting stuff. Like a place with an special vibe, not a tourist trap.
