Travelers looking for an excellent March getaway will find it in Boston, according to Good Housekeeping.

A guide to Boston’s Freedom Trail

The publication released a list of the 25 best destinations to visit in March 2024 and included Boston. It is the only New England location on the list.

Here’s what the publication wrote about the city:

“March Madness marches into Boston the last week of the month. Beantown will host the East Region men’s basketball round at TD Garden from March 28 to 30. Score tickets for a game (or three!) and work in some other sightseeing, including the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail and the View Boston Observation Deck. Make The Boxer Hotel your home base. The industrial chic, pet-friendly property is just a five-minute walk to TD Garden.”

The publication comprised the list with the help of travel experts and its Good Housekeeping’s 2024 Family Travel Awards team.

Boston was recently named one of the best places to honor Black history in 2024 by U.S. News & World Report.
