Printable walking map?

I can't seem to find one online anywhere.

If you’re looking for a printable walking map of Salem, MA, there are several resources and tips that can help you plan your stroll through this historic and witch-themed city. Salem doesn’t always provide a direct downloadable map on its official tourism website, but you can still get a reliable one in several ways.

Options for obtaining a Salem walking map:

  • Salem Visitor Center: When you arrive in Salem, the Visitor Center at 2 New Liberty Street (near the train station and Pickering Wharf) has free printed maps of the downtown area, including the Witch Trial historic sites and key attractions. They are very tourist-friendly and often include suggested walking routes.
  • Historic Salem Walking Tour Apps: While not printable directly, apps like “Salem Witch Museum Audio Tour” or other Salem walking guides allow you to view a detailed map and then screenshot or print it from a computer. These often include marked points of interest and suggested loops.
  • Third-party tourism websites: Several Salem tourism blogs or TripAdvisor threads have user-created printable maps highlighting the Witch District, museums, and shops. Searching for “Salem MA walking map PDF” often yields good results that can be printed at home.

Tips for creating your own printable map:

  • Use Google Maps or MapQuest to select the downtown Salem area, zoom in to include major streets and attractions, then print the map in landscape orientation.
  • Mark key stops such as the Salem Witch Museum, House of the Seven Gables, Pickering Wharf, and any museums or historic homes you want to visit.
  • Consider creating a route connecting these sites so you can follow a logical walking path without backtracking.

In summary, while an official downloadable map may be elusive, between the Visitor Center, printable PDFs from tourism sites, and custom Google Maps, you can easily create a useful walking map for your Salem visit.
