Best for

Cambridge vs Boston, Amherst campus-town visits, Springfield museum and campus weekends, Worcester college weekends, Pioneer Valley campus trips, Berkshires arts overnights, Salem/North Shore timing, Cape Cod checks, and Massachusetts planning outside a Boston overnight base.

Why it fits

Best when the trip is Massachusetts-first but the traveler needs a statewide layer before choosing Boston, Cambridge, Amherst, Springfield, Worcester, western Massachusetts, Salem, North Shore, or Cape Cod.
