North End

This Italian neighborhood, Boston's oldest, is known for its wonderful restaurants and historic sights. Walk the cobblestone streets to take in the architecture and aromas of delicious food, and visit Paul Revere's house and the Old North Church while you're in the neighborhood.

Reviewed By loneriter - Boston, United States

This is a must-do while visiting Boston. Cobblestone streets, authentic Italian restaurants, gelaterias, quaint cafes serving divine espressos, and pastry shops selling that most mouth-watering of Italian desserts -- cannolis. Word of caution: if planning to dine in the North End, make sure you call ahead for a reservation.

Beacon Hill

The famous Boston Brahmin neighborhood of red brick sidewalks, cobblestoned streets, elegant townhouses and gas street lamps.

Back Bay

This tony neighborhood--one of the two most expensive residential areas in Boston--started as a bay. The bay was filled in during the 19th century to create the area now known by the name Back Bay. The area is known for its Victorian brownstones, the Boston Public Library, shopping, office high rises and upscale hotels.

Reviewed By tarjana - Salt Lake City, United States

There are quite a few popular neighborhoods in Boston, so it's hard to decide where to stay... If you stay in Back Bay, you can find almost everything you need in walking distance (if you're a walker). You can even walk to the North End, or a quick Uber ride can get you there quickly. There is sooooo much to see in Back Bay, and you if you're in town for a short trip, you don't need a rental car.

Martha's Vineyard Camp meeting Association (MVCMA)

Reviewed By SharonR227 - Wayzata, United States

We walked down Circuit Ave and took a path leading into the beautiful grassy area of the Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting Association. It was a quiet restful place by the Tabernacle revival meeting house where concerts are still held, surrounded by beautifully ornate gingerbread cottages from 1867. Each cottage is unique and creatively adorned with color. We also toured the Trinity Methodist Church. A delightful area in Oak Bluffs for a stroll.

South End

Reviewed By TV2451

This is one of the older neighborhoods in town and much of the old architecture has been preserved. So find a walking tour and wander around. It's not too big and is safe, in spite of a sketchy past. Full of Yuppies now.

Jamaica Plain

Reviewed By AdventureQn - Los Angeles, United States

I went in October of 2018. Public transportation is a great way to see Boston. I was staying in Jamaica Plain which is a beautiful suburb and easy to see by bus and metro train.

Waterfront

Reviewed By Southiebob - Boston, United States

Lived here all my life and seen the waterfront change with the years. My kids had a great time on the waterfront along with friends and family. Start at South Station food court (TEENS HEAVEN) and walk the Rose Kennedy Greenway ( food trucks) the teens will love it... all kinds of weird things on the way. Fog fountains, water fountains squirting everyone, merry go round, National Park Island boat rides, aquarium with I Max theatre,more food for you know who, oldest part of Boston at Haymarket Square area, Continue on the Greenway skirting the North End and pizza heaven at every turn. You can go into the North End and visit historic Paul Revere house, Old North Church ( “ one if by land.. two if by sea”), Cobbs Hill burying ground, ARE U BORED YET?? I’m beat... try going to Bunker Hill and the USS Constitution (oldest active warship in the Navy) and if all else fails and the teens are bored I guess you will just have to come back!!! Have fun go see a Bruins game or take a train to Salem the Witch City. Oh yea I almost forgot... my kids are still in Reginas Pizza and maybe a stop in Dolce Vita restaurant on Hanover Street.
