Weather in Beantown
The best time to visit Boston is between the months of May and November.
Boston is often synonymous with autumn, the weather is crisp and cool (but not too cold), and the trees take on mesmerising shades of red, gold and amber. The beautiful fall leaves make sightseeing in Boston even more spectacular.
Summer is also a lovely time to visit Boston, but it can be a smidge too hot and humid for exploring the city.
