From the rolling Berkshire Hills to the tip of Cape Cod, from historic Boston to the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is the perfect holiday destination.

Massachusetts is a four-season destination. The winter months bring opportunities for skating and skiing in the Berkshires. As the days lengthen in spring, the landscape offers perfect hiking and biking weather and opportunities to go whale watching.

Summer days are perfect for beach activity, with swimming and boating along the seashore and on freshwater lakes. Summer also brings a cultural feast with one festival after another, from free Boston Pops concerts on the banks of the Charles River to the Tanglewood festival in the Berkshires.

Visitors during Autumn can enjoy the fall foliage with its magnificent display of colours as the trees prepare for winter

With no sales tax on clothing, there are bargains to be had in Massachusetts where a combination of bargain basements, factory outlets and discount stores means that shoppers from the UK can often save enough to pay for the cost of their trip.
