Over 18 million people visit the city annually, making it a leading tourist destination.

Autumn in Boston

The ILA’s 12th Annual Global Conference takes place October 27 – 30, 2010, which is in the middle of the Autumnal months in Boston.  Boston is at its most beautiful in the fall. As the leaves turn, Boston’s parks put on an unforgettable show, complementing the historic architecture.

A walk along the city’s Freedom Trail now doubles as a leaf peeping tour. It’s a great time to visit Boston's Faneuil Hall Marketplace as the crowds thin out, but the weather is still pleasant. On a cooler day take a stroll through the gorgeous indoor courtyard of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

No other region of the country displays fall’s colors like New England. A trip north of Boston to Kittery, Maine, will make for a dazzling show—and provide plenty of great shopping opportunities at the Kittery Outlets. The Cape in the fall is especially charming.

Learn more about the autumnal months in Boston including what to expect from the weather.
