Mystic

Historically a ship-making town in the 18th and 19th centuries, Mystic, Connecticut is a historic waterfront village that is popular year-round. View the Mystic Seaport Museum, the largest maritime museum in the U.S. and, from May through October, visitors can choose a half-day or sunset cruise aboard the schooner ARGIA, which departs from Steamboat Wharf in Downtown Mystic. No trip to this underrated US city is complete without grabbing a slice at Mystic Pizza, a pizzeria made famous by the 1988 romantic comedy film, Mystic Pizza.
