15 Best Things To Do in Worcester, Massachusetts

Picture of Worcester, Massachusetts

About Worcester


Boston might be Massachusett’s most-known city, but Worcester comes at a close second, with a population of over 200,000 people. Since it’s centrally located, the city is also called the Heart of the Commonwealth, making it a prime spot for tourists.

The Worcester Art Museum is a must-visit for art lovers since it features over 35,000 artworks from centuries ago to the modern day. Besides giving an insight into different cultures, these artworks also exhibit the region’s rich history.

The American Antiquarian Society also happens to be in Worcester, housing millions of books, manuscripts, graphic arts, and newspapers from centuries ago. Needless to say, the city is a dream place for those who have a love for art and culture but may be too tempting for party animals.
