Salem Witch Tours Map
Most walks start downtown near Essex Street — two outside the Salem Five bank at 210 Essex St, two start at 8 Central St by the Custom House; one starts at the station, one in Danvers, Boston trips pick up from hotels, and two give only a map pin. The five places of 1692 lie on one line from the Memorial to Proctor’s Ledge, with Salem Village a drive away.
Our Pick and Two Alternatives
If you are already standing on Essex Street, three bookings start within a few minutes of you. Secrets of Salem meets outside the Salem Five bank at 210 Essex Street — the partner asks you to arrive 15 to 20 minutes early. The 1692 Witchcraft Trials Walk meets at 8 Central Street, the big brick 1805 Custom House at the corner of Essex and Central with purple signs. The Witch City Broom Making Workshop meets at the Old Town Hall building by the three staircases, not at the retail store on Essex Street.

Salem Witch Tours Map
This salem witch tours map shows where each walk begins and where the five places of 1692 stand. The start points are the partner’s own map pins, taken from each GetYourGuide listing on 23 September 2026; where an operator gives only a pin and no address, we say so rather than guess the corner.
Most of the historic centre fits in a ten-minute walk. From 210 Essex Street it is 159 metres, about two minutes, to Derby Square, and 393 metres, about five minutes, to the Witch Trials Memorial; the Charter Street burying point is another 135 metres. Salem Common is a separate cluster, 665 metres or about nine minutes from 210 Essex Street — walking distances measured on foot with OpenStreetMap routing.

Salem Witch Tours Meeting Points
Salem witch tours meeting points fall into five groups. On Essex Street and around it: 210 Essex Street for Secrets of Salem and Ultimate Witches (look for a guide in a white shirt with a yellow flag for Ultimate), 8 Central Street for the 1692 Witchcraft Trials Walk and Salem 101, the Old Town Hall for the broom workshop, the Ropes Mansion at 318 Essex Street for the walk that ends in a witchcraft practice, and Not Ya Mama’s Vegan Cafe for the Witch Trial History and Salem Haunts walk.
At the station: SEE IT ALL meets on the bottom level of the train station and parking garage, outside between the train and the bus. In Danvers: the Salem Village walk meets at the Training Field next to Ingersoll Street, by a rock and a blue sign. In Boston: the coach and private trips pick you up at your hotel. Charlotte Forten Park is the start of the Lucinda Lipol walk.
Three operators give only a map pin. The Witch Trial Walking Tour’s text says its guide waits at the Salem Five bank, but its pin sits by Salem Common, so confirm the start after booking; the Salem Witch Tour and the psychic walk pin near Washington Square without an address.
Salem Witch Tour Map of the 1692 Sites
Three of the five places sit together in the centre: the Witch Trials Memorial on Liberty Street, the Charter Street burying point beside it, and the Witch House at 310½ Essex Street, the home of Judge Jonathan Corwin. Proctor’s Ledge, the execution site, is at Pope Street and Boston Street, about a mile from downtown at the foot of Gallows Hill; there is no parking at the site, so park at Gallows Hill Park and walk down. Salem Village is in Danvers and needs a car.
Measured on foot with OpenStreetMap routing on 23 September 2026: Memorial to Charter Street 135 metres, about two minutes; Charter Street to the Witch House 727 metres, about ten minutes; the Witch House to Pope Street by Proctor’s Ledge 1.2 kilometres, about sixteen minutes. Salem Village is 12.3 kilometres from 210 Essex Street by road, about fifteen minutes without traffic. The line is a schematic, not a scale map.

Reviews
The two walks below start on Essex Street and between them carry 572 reviews — 208 for Secrets of Salem at 4.45 and 364 for the 1692 Witchcraft Trials Walk at 4.23. SEE IT ALL, the walk that starts at the station, is new on GetYourGuide and has no reviews yet, so we list it without a quote. Each quote is a short extract from a GetYourGuide review with the reviewer’s first name and the month of the walk; the full reviews are on the partner page.
A practical note from the listings rather than the reviews: the start is easiest to find where the partner names a landmark — a yellow flag, purple signs, a rock and a blue sign — and hardest where it gives only a pin. If your walk is one of the pin-only three, message the operator through GetYourGuide after booking.
“No need for fancy costumes, just book this tour guide who has all the information you need.”
“Packed with tons of information and stories, this 90 minute tour satisfied the little girl history geek in me.”
How They Compare
The three picks differ mostly by how you get to the start. All three are a walk from anywhere downtown; none needs a car. Secrets of Salem is the one with the most stops, the 1692 Witchcraft Trials Walk the one with the most reviews and the only wheelchair-accessible route in the partner’s words, and the broom workshop the one that stays indoors whatever the weather.
Before You Book
One walk is marked “all ages” by the partner; one is 21+; under-fives can’t ride the Boston coach.

Where do salem witch tours start?▾
Most start in the historic centre within a few minutes of Essex Street: two at 210 Essex Street, two at 8 Central Street, one outside Not Ya Mama’s Vegan Cafe, one at the Ropes Mansion and one in Charlotte Forten Park. SEE IT ALL starts at the train station, the Salem Village walk in Danvers, and the Boston trips at North Station or your hotel. Three operators give only a map pin.
Can I walk between the witch trial sites?▾
Four of the five, yes. The Memorial, Charter Street and the Witch House are a short walk apart in the centre — the Memorial and the burying point only 135 metres. Proctor’s Ledge is about a mile from downtown, at Pope Street and Boston Street, with no parking at the site. Salem Village is in Danvers and needs a car or a taxi.
How far is the Salem Witch Trials Memorial from Essex Street?▾
From 210 Essex Street, where Secrets of Salem and Ultimate Witches meet, the Memorial is 393 metres on foot — about five minutes. From Derby Square it is 325 metres, about four minutes. The Memorial is on Liberty Street between Charter Street and Derby Street, free and open from dawn to dusk.
Which salem witch tour starts at the train station?▾
Historical & Witch Trials Walking Tour: SEE IT ALL meets on the bottom level of the Salem train station and parking garage, outside between the train and the bus. It takes two hours, names three of the five places of 1692 and costs from $39.20 with a partner discount. It has no reviews yet.
Is Salem Common part of the witch walk area?▾
It is a separate cluster, about nine minutes on foot from 210 Essex Street. The Salem Witch Museum stands by the Common, and some operators pin their start near Washington Square. Allow a few extra minutes if your meeting point is there and you are coming from Essex Street.
Where can I park for a salem witch tour?▾
Parking is the hardest part of a Salem visit in October. The city runs the Museum Place Garage at 1 New Liberty Street and the South Harbor Garage, plus surface lots at Wharf Street and Riley Plaza; October rates go up and are not published in advance. In past Octobers the city also ran free satellite lots with shuttles. The train from North Station avoids the question entirely.
Where does the Salem Village witch walk meet?▾
In Danvers, not Salem: at the Training Field next to Ingersoll Street, by a rock and a blue sign. The walk costs from $25, takes about 90 minutes and runs on selected dates from July to October. There are no bathrooms on the route, and there is no train to the start — drive or take a taxi from Salem.
How do I find my guide at the meeting point?▾
Use the partner’s own description: Ultimate Witches has a guide in a white shirt with a yellow flag; the 1692 Witchcraft Trials Walk meets by the purple signs at the Custom House; the Salem Village walk by a rock and a blue sign on the Training Field. Arrive early — the partner asks Secrets of Salem guests to come 15 to 20 minutes before the start.
