BOSTON FALL TRAVEL GUIDE
I am so excited to partner with Allegiant again this year to go somewhere that has been on my bucket list for a while now: Boston. It was just a short, direct flight from Knoxville and such an amazing fall getaway with my husband, Justin. Allegiant airlines always has such a special way of making you feel at-home with their level of care and exceptional customer service. Everything was also very clean and sanitary, which made us feel so safe and welcomed. We had so much fun that we’re already planning our next trip back! After visiting, I can see why Boston has been acclaimed for its historical beauty, great food, things to do, and wanted to share some of that with you today. So today in my Boston Fall Travel Guide, you’ll find ideas on what to do, where to shop, where to eat and where to stay while visiting this beautiful New England town during fall!

WHERE TO STAY
Boston has a ton of great hotel options! Boston is a small city that’s very walkable so it will be easy to explore much of the city if you’re staying at least a few days. While there’s so many that are great, my biggest recommendation is to stay close to the areas you want to explore most. The Back Bay area is a great area to stay in as it’s essentially in the middle of everything! It’s close to shopping, great restaurants. and you can easily explore other neighborhoods that are in walking distance. Back Bay is essentially in the “middle of it all,” which makes it a convenient area to stay in.
If you’ll be visiting Boston with kids, older family members, and/or plan to explore places like the Boston Aquarium, Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, the North End, etc. you might be better off staying near the Financial District, the North End, or the Waterfront area. Like I said above though, Boston is a small city that can easily be explored no matter where you decide to stay!
what to wear in boston in the fall
And of course, if you are wondering what to wear in Boston in the fall – I have you covered there as well! The weather in Boston in late September/ear.ly October can still be fairly warm during the day, but cooler at night. So layering pieces and light jackets like this trench coat came in handy! It was a little rainy too, so I was happy I packed this plaid umbrella at last minute. Also, like I mentioned above, Boston is a very walkable city, so you’ll want to pack some comfy shoes like these sneakers for exploring. Shop everything I wore and packed for Boston in the fall below. But don’t forget, Boston has AMAZING shopping, so you can always pick up a few things while you’re there like I did!
