Salem is so gorgeous, there are tons of landmarks and amazing places that just call out to be photographed. I started this little series of posts back in 2017 and have been doing updates about once a year since. Businesses and attractions come and go so keeping it current is a good way for me to help you guys see some cool and social media worthy things.

Please keep in mind these lists are never all inclusive. There are tons of places around Salem that would make for stunning images. This is just a little starting place for you to get some ideas for Instagrammable pictures on your visit.

The most Instagrammable places in Salem, MA

Witch Bitch Salem

@witchbitchsalem on Instagram is located outside of Witch Way Gifts down by the water. She is regularly photographed and if you upload a picture of her to social media be sure to tag her! She is a really active user and will likely get back to you!

The view of Salem from the Schooner Fame

I love going out on the water with the Fame, you guys. It is seriously so much fun and incredibly calming, I definitely recommend it. While you’re on board, grab some unique shots of Salem from the boat!

Pioneer Village

Raise your hand if you spent most of your childhood thinking the human cursed to live as a black cat in Hocus Pocus was named Zachary Binx, not Thackery. *raises hand* Well…if you want to see where those opening scenes with Thackery were shot then head over to Pioneer Village. It is a living history museum and makes for fun pics.

The Roof atop the Hotel Salem

Grab a drink with an awesome view of the witch city. The Roof, which is atop the Hotel Salem offers both which would definitely make for some great pictures.

Die With Your Boots On

The whole vibe of Die With Your Boots On is awesome and makes for great pics. All dark clothing and decor, a huge black chair for pics and a glowing coffin logo. Love it!
