New England is an ideal destination for weekend getaways during the winter months.
Whether travelers are seeking city or country, mountains or ocean, the region delivers with lively ski towns, cozy bed and breakfasts, scenic ice skating, twinkling Ice Castles, and more.
New England destinations have landed on several best-of lists for winter travel throughout the years. For example, Boston was named among the most beautiful places for a winter getaway due to scenic spots such as Boston Common Frog Pond, Boston Public Library, and Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University.
Elsewhere in New England, Nantucket, Mass.; Sandwich, Mass.; Woodstock, Vermont; Bar Harbor, Maine; Portsmouth and Littleton, N.H., and Mystic, Conn. were named among the prettiest American towns to visit during the winter by Country Living.
