Boston, Massachusetts, is New England’s largest city by far. However, for road-trippers who appreciate the energy and excitement of urban environments, this road trip offers a nice tour of New England’s smaller cities. You’ll visit Worcester and Springfield in Massachusetts, spend the night in New Haven, Connecticut, and then return via the Rhode Island capital of Providence. The journey features a variety of quirky museums, making it ideal for both children and adults.
Given that the itinerary includes outdoor activities, it's best undertaken during the warmer months, from April to October.
