The perfect weekend getaway in Salem, MA, during spooky season 🤎🕯️🦇🍂 Salem is incredibly busy during the fall months, especially during October. Planning for a late September-early October visit is best-- if you can swing midweek, even better! I've curated the perfect 3-day itinerary for a weekend (or midweek) in Salem. Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I look forward to spooky season all year long. And what better place to get your witchy vibes on, than in the town where the most famous historical event surrounding witches occurred? The historical architecture of this town is so stunning-- wandering the streets will satisfy your every 'fall aesthetic' need. The nostalgia of Halloween is also found around every corner. I know you're going to love this trip!

Salem, MA is perfectly spooky at any time of year and perfectly suited for a day trip from Boston or Portland. Here are 21 must-see spots and places to eat and drink while in the Witch City.
