Getting around Salem is no problem. Bring a good pair of walking shoes or sneakers and your fine. Salem is a great walking city and there are lots of sites and museums to visit. Enjoy the walking trails around historic Salem, Pickering Wharf, witch museum, Peabody Essex Museum, Salem Willows, the graveyard of witches, Engine House pizza : ). Salem has become quite the fun place.
Great restaurants and bars: Finz, Grapevine, Rockafellas, Captains, Victoria Station, Rockmore Wet Dock(take a free boat ride out to a rest and bar), Passage to India, Bandkok Paradise (thai)...All in downtown! GREAT PLACES
Make sure to visit REDS for breakfast!
If your looking to head into Boston, the MBTA can take you there from Salem in 25 mins. Look up MBTA transportation. The station is located in downtown and you can even travel to Beverly , Ipswich (2 next door towns)
Enjoy Salem

Getting around Salem itself is no problem. Also, if you want to go into Boston or Cambridge, the commuter rail is within walking distance of the middle of Salem. It's about a half an hour into Boston. Check out www.mbta.com.

It's not difficult at all-Salem's tourist spot are all in the same area for the most part. There are trolleys to take you around there, and if you needed to go to Boston, you can take the commuter rail...Salem is definitely the kind of city you can walk from place to place.

Yeah, not too bad to get around Salem unless you are visiting in October during Haunted Happenings. If that's the case you need to be prepared to hoof it. But much is close together and makes for a pleasant walking tour.

No, very easy - trolleys take the tourists around, lots of things are in walking distance of one another. Of course, this assumes you are staying IN Salem and not at your friends' house in Peabody or Beverly or Manchester.

It's fairly easy, however if you want to go into the city, like Downtown Boston it will be long traveling time.

It's pretty easy. If you can, get up to Gloucester and Bearskin Neck in Rockport too!
