Salem is so much more than just Halloween đťâ¨
If you only visit for the witch trial history, youâre missing the best part - the cozy cafĂŠs tucked into historic buildings, candlelit streets after dark, and the surprisingly good food scene between all the spooky stops.
A few things that made my trip way better:â¨â˘ Salem is super walkable, so stay central and explore slowlyâ¨â˘ The vibe completely changes at night - even outside Octoberâ¨â˘ Early mornings are the best time to experience the town before day-trippers arrive
This is the Salem guide I wish I had before going đŻď¸
Save this for your future spooky-season trip & send it to the friend whoâd 100% book a ghost tour with you đť
