This spring I have been busy updating Lonely Planet’s Boston city guide, as well as the Massachusetts chapters for Lonely Planet’s New England (both new editions forthcoming in 2025).

It does not even include my personal favorite (the Charles River Loop, pictured below). But there are some good suggestions here.
