Back Bay runs along the impressive 80-mile Charles River. It’s easily one of America’s most stylish and wealthy neighborhoods; Newbury Street, Boylston Street and Commonwealth Avenue are lined with boutiques, hip restaurants, art galleries and traditional heritage homes. It’s a destination visited and loved by tourists and locals alike. It’s also where you’ll find stunning architecture including the Prudential Center and the John Hancock Tower.

Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill is one of Boston’s oldest neighborhoods. Named after a beacon that was placed atop a hill to warn locals of an impending invasion, the area consists of heritage brick row houses and traditional cobblestone streets. It is easy to imagine the colonial days of horse drawn carriages and lantern-lit passageways. Today the streets are filled with trendy cafes, upscale boutiques, and a fabulous collection of antique shops.

Cambridge

Named in honor of the University of Cambridge in England, this neighborhood is the home place for two of the Nation’s most reputable Universities: Ivy League Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Cambridge is an eclectic mix of shops, galleries, bookstores and restaurants and is well worth a visit.

Chelsea

Across the Mystic River from Boston lies the charming city of Chelsea, Massachusetts. Rich in history, this relaxed neighborhood is home to numerous attractions listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Downtown

Downtown offers a wonderful mix of traditional business establishments and lush greenery showcased in the Public Garden and Boston Common. Just a quick jaunt from the Theatre District and Beacon Hill, Downtown offers great dining options, shopping and pre-revolutionary attractions.

North End

One of Boston’s oldest neighborhoods, the North End is commonly referred to as Boston’s Italian district. Take a stroll down the narrow streets and stop off for a cappuccino at a cafe dotted along the way. Offering the best Italian cuisine, the North End is full of European flair, steeped in history, and should not be missed.

Theater District

The Boston Theater District houses some of the most architecturally stunning theaters in North America. The area has been revitalized after a restoration project brought the ancient theaters back to life. Housed within a 4-block radius, the neighborhood features over fifty magnificent venues.

Waterfront

Stretching 47 miles, the Waterfront sits just below the North End. The breathtaking views of Rowes Wharf and the marina make this a must-see when visiting Boston. Home to the Boston Tea Party site, this area offers luxury shopping and highly applauded restaurants and cafes.

Few cities in the U.S. have as rich a history as Boston. The city is both beautiful and beloved; both in Boston and in neighboring Cambridge, located just across the Charles River, stand some of the country’s most impressive buildings, both modern and heritage.

Among these structures is housed an impressive array of art that reflects that architecture, including at the Museum of Fine Arts, the Institute of Contemporary Art, the Boston Sculptors Gallery and more. Looking for outdoor beauty? Visitors can stroll through Boston’s Emerald Necklace, a string of nine parks spread over 1,100 acres which includes Boston Common, the oldest public park in the U.S.

Of course Boston is a ravenous sports town as well. Baseball fans flock to the see the Red Sox at Fenway Park, the oldest stadium in Major League Baseball, and the iconic Big Green Monster. Both the Celtics of the NBA and the Bruins of the National Hockey League play out of TD Garden, while Gillette Stadium in nearby Foxboro is home to the New England Patriots.

All of which is to say nothing of the city’s vibrant dining and drinks scene. Home of the original Cheers, there are plenty of pubs at which to raise a pint, and nearly as many top-end eateries and nightclubs. And as one of America’s original college towns, nightlife in Boston is never boring.
