Where to stay in Somerville

The best savory baked goods, good soup, strong coffee. The feta tomato squares are unique and delicious.   Local artists featured on the walls.

Ward Two

If you're spending some time in Ward Two, Wine & Cheese Cask and Artisans Asylum are top sights worth seeing.

Ward Two
Abandoned train cars on the tracks under I-93 between Community and Sullivan Stations on the Orange line.  You may recognize them from 'The Town'!  Bit of a creepy walk to get to them.

Inner Belt

3.5/5(45 area reviews)

Even though there aren't top sights in Inner Belt, you can explore the larger area and take in top sights like TD Garden. Jump on the metro at East Somerville Station to see more of the city.

Duck tater tots!

Prospect Hill

The coffeehouses and shopping make Prospect Hill worth a stop. Make a stop by Prospect Hill Monument, and jump on the metro at Gilman Square Station to get around the area.

Prospect Hill
Buddy’s Diner, one of my favorite local spots to eat. Come early on a weekend morning, this tiny diner car fills up fast and only stays open through lunch! A really great old school friendly, local vibe!

East Somerville

Home to Mudflat arts center and the East Branch Library, East Somerville boasts a lively business corridor on Broadway with diverse restaurants and boutiques. Easily accessible via the Green Line Extension and multiple bus lines.

We stayed in Somerville because it was cheaper than staying in the city of Boston- which is where we needed to get to everyday. The trip to Boston was about 20 mins and very scenic! Somerville had many great restaurant choices.
