Autumn you know, is Americans’ fav season and for those who even across the ocean love the colourful mid-season’s atmospheres, the States give some destinations that should be added to a bucket list. In particular, in America Autumn rhymes with New England, a territory that boasts some of the most beautiful landscapes to visit during this season.
But what is New England? Located in the North-East of the United States, the New England includes Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island; its most populated city is Boston and boasts a very unique history. Originally, indeed, the New England territories were indwelt by Pilgrims who were escaping the European religious persecution, that’s the reason why its places, differently from the big American metropolis, are made of wooden houses surrounded by woods, lakes, farms and everything that suggests you peace.
During Fall this territory shows off a palette of idyllic images in the shades of red, orange and yellow, becoming the favourite destination of all the Fall Foliage admirers. Also, if a little Wednesday Addams lives in your heart, New England is the perfect place to fully live the magic Halloween atmospheres. The pumpkin hunt is indeed famous in these places, and that’s the reason why during October big orange pumpkins decorate farms, shops and streets all over the country. But not only…in every New England’s city, you’ll be able to experience some unique events like the city ghost tours, paranormal tours and haunted houses or cornfields visits.
Travelling around New England is something you must try by car. Byways, the secondary streets, are perfect to be immersed in rural breath-taking landscapes. In particular, the stops that you can’t miss are Boston to enjoy a perfect mixture of past and future, Salem and Gloucester on the way to Portland to visit the suggestive villages, The Acadia National Park on the Maine coast…but not only! Vermont needs a note thanks to its Smugglers’ Notch State Park, where to admire the fall foliage, the suggestive centre of the capital Montpellier, Central Vermont’s farms and Manchester, that differs from its English homonym is a natural paradise.
