Weather

If you do not like the weather in New England- wait a while and it will change!

Summer can be very hot and humid, so dress and pack light. It's also pretty windy downtown, so a warm coat & hat are a must.

Bring a small day pack or fanny pack for sight-seeing or shopping. Boston is a city for walking so choose a comfortable bag. Try to fit an umbrella in your bag.

Boston can be as casual or formal as you want it to be.

Always keep a camera handy. There are plenty of photo opportunities all around town.
