Best time to visit Boston
Boston is a top tourist destination and can get extremely busy over the summer season (June to August). There are many students attending universities in the area, so it tends to be busy all year long.
Ideally, the best time to visit would be in spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November). The weather is really lovely over this time, and though there are plenty of tourists around, like those who come for the Boston Marathon in April, you should still be able to find cheaper flights and accommodation.

When your stomach starts rumbling, catch a cab to the Seafood District and feast on delicious crab, mussels and oysters. If seafood isn’t your thing, head over to the Cambridge and Somerville areas for an array of great food options. Italian, Mexican, Asian - you name it, they have it!
Also, whatever your sport, Boston is the place to be. Book tickets in advance and make history by catching a Red Sox baseball game or NFL Patriots football match.

The level of crime in Boston is relatively low, but as it is a big city there are some precautions that should be taken.
When sightseeing, it would be a good idea to keep your expensive goods out of sight. Also, avoid walking around alone late in the evenings, or even very early in the morning when there is no one else around.
There are no vaccines required for a trip to the U.S.A., but it is always recommended to go for a routine check-up and to speak to your doctor before any trip overseas.
