What to Do
The Witch House at Salem
@kerriontravel
One of the only remaining structures with direct ties to the trials. Summer or fall, there is always a group waiting to take a picture outside (see mine above). The self-guided tour inside is worth it, too.

The House of the Seven Gables
@kerriontravel
Made famous by Nathaniel Hawthorne, this tour gives good insight into the history and architecture of Salem beyond the trials, as well as the life of Hawthorne. You can even climb up a secret staircase behind the chimney.

Bewitched Sculpture
@kerriontravel
After a fire shut down their set, Bewitched filmed several episodes on location in Salem. The statue commemorates this and is conveniently on your way to the Witch House from the shops and restaurants of Washington St.

Fame of Salem Sailboat Tour
@kerriontravel
Cruise around the harbor on the Fame—a full-scale replica of the first American privateer to set out during the War of 1812. This was my mom’s favorite activity.

Hi, I'm Kerri! A carry-on-only traveler who loves to pack in as many sights as possible.
My trip itineraries center around culture, food, drinks and getting outside.
These are all trips I've personally planned and taken with pictures, tips, regrets, and notes so you can make the most of your time in a new place.
You'll find guides for city breaks, road trips, and outdoorsy adventures (but nothing too intense) that maximize your short time in a new place.
Thanks for stopping by!
