About
Destination Salem is the official tourism office for Salem, promoting the city’s museums, attractions, tours, dining, shopping and accommodations to visitors.

The center also has a shop stocked with Salem-inspired merchandise, souvenirs, apparel, books and exclusive keepsakes for visitors who want to bring home a piece of the city’s history.
Its website works as a comprehensive trip planner, covering harbor tours, kid-friendly activities, museums, outdoor spots, tarot and psychic readings, weddings, hotels, inns, camping, breweries, cafes and witch and occult shops. Travel pages explain parking, rideshare and taxi pickup points, restrooms, accessibility, motorcoach and group tours, and the Port of Salem.
