Five ways to kick off your visit to Salem, MA

YOU MADE IT! You’re in the witch city with your loved ones, ready to get the trip started off right. What should you do first? Today on the blog I have five ways for you to kick off your visit to Salem, MA.

Hop the Trolley

I have mentioned the Salem Trolley about a billion times here on my blog but it’s because I really do love it. I think it’s a fantastic way to get an overview of the city, mentally plot out points of interest and do a little sight seeing all at once. Don’t forget to hang on to your ticket once you’re done because it’s good for the entire day. You can use it to hop on and off at the Trolley’s flag stop locations.
