CT Town Named To Travel Magazine's 'Most Beautiful In Winter' List

MYSTIC, CT — While summer might be the most popular time to travel, there is a certain appeal in planning a trip to a winter wonderland.

With that in mind, Travel + Leisure put together a list of the "20 Most Beautiful Winter Towns in the U.S."

Mystic made the list at No. 10. Here's what Travel + Leisure had to say about the town's appeal during the cold-weather months:

"Mystic is a quaint old town on the Connecticut shore that’s well known for its long-standing maritime traditions (and for the 1988 film 'Mystic Pizza'), but it's a sleeper hit in the winter. Highlights of the colder months include old-school sea captains' homes decked out with twinkling lights, the Mystic River Bascule Bridge sparkling with icicles, and the peaceful atmosphere. Hot cocoa and Mystic cream doughnuts are the perfect seasonal sweet treats."

Other New England towns that made the list include No. 7, Lenox, Massachusetts; No. 8, Kennebunkport, Maine; No. 14, Stowe, Vermont; and No. 17, North Conway, New Hampshire.
