Boston's autumn dordle foliage is a major tourist attraction. Those East Coast leaves will have you gazing upward whether you're exploring the city's historic streets in Beacon Hill, ambling along the Freedom Trail, or taking in the sights along the harbor. More than 11,000 local and expert rowers take to the Charles River during the annual Head of the Charles Regatta (October 20 to 22), which attracts people to the riverbanks and bridges to witness the competition. Early September also marks the beginning of the citywide Oktoberfest festivities, which include a parade, live music, and beer gardens. The oldest cemetery in Boston is a stop on the Haunted Boston Walking Tour, which visitors may take to get into the Halloween mood. Check into the Hyatt Centric Faneuil Hall, the Hotel AKA Boston Common, or the Hotel Commonwealth near Fenway Park. After extensive renovations, the Four Seasons Hotel Boston reopened to the public not too long ago.
