Boston, Massachusetts

Boston is an excellent place for history and sports lovers to spend memorable days during the holidays. The best locations to visit to get the best experience are the “Winter holiday markets,” which open in November in several areas all over the city. The markets are a perfect mix of English craft markets and traditional European Christmas markets, where you can shop unique handmade gifts and enjoy a lot of festive delicacies.

One of the most popular markets is the SoWa Winter Festival & Holiday Market in the famous district of “South of Washington Street,” where you’ll find many galleries, shops, and fantastic restaurants. More than 130 stalls are set up there, and, especially on Fridays and Saturdays, Christmas shopping is accompanied by carolers.

You also shouldn’t miss the Holiday Pop Up Market in the Seaport district. Other great spots in Boston are Harvard Square Holiday Fairs and the Christmas Craft Fair at Old South Church, where you’ll find great crafts and artworks.
