So what makes Boston a perfect summer destination?

Boston is one of the most charming and interesting cities in the USA. With waterfront neighborhoods, colonial architecture, and dozens of college campuses, the oldest city in America is also one of the most beautiful ones.

Summer in this New England city is particularly astonishing. Since the city is known to experience some drastic winter temperatures, its residents really go all out when it comes to celebrating summer. Some popular summer activities include: outdoor beer gardens by the ocean, Red Sox games at Fenway Park, kayaking on the Charles river, and or grabbing some grub at one of the city’s many food festivals. From Fenway franks to a cold glass of Sam Adams straight from the tap, the local flavors are world-renowned and definitely worth experiencing first-hand.

How to spend a day like a local?

If there is anything Bostonians truly enjoy in the summer, it’s an outdoor market. Almost every neighborhood in the city has a farmer’s market or an arts and craft market you can check out. You certainly can’t miss the SoWA Open Market in the South End on the weekend or the Boston Public Market on the Rose Kennedy Greenway.
