50 things to do in Boston this winter

Make the most of your winter trip to Boston with TimeOut Boston’s list of 50 things to do in Boston this winter. There is something particulary beautiful about Boston in wintertime. Maybe it’s the graceful silence of snowfalling in the Public Gardens, or watching ice skaters twirl around the Boston Common Frog Pond underneath a veil of holiday lights. Even trudging up the Beacon Hill to glance at the historic brownstones feels more ethereal in the brisk of winter. As someone who visits Boston each winter, I assure you if you can get past the snowy, frigid weather and don’t mind your finger tips occasionally freezing, there is no better time to visit Boston. However, the greatest thing about this list is most of these events take place indoors! We recommend #10, a visit to the Cambridge Antique Market, (201 Monsignor O’Brien Highway, East Cambridge) where you are sure to find something for everyone in this five floor location offering the best of vintage and antique finds.
