From the Back Bay's cosmopolitan streets and ornate Victorian town houses to the aromas spilling into the quaint 17th century streets of Boston's North End to the historic hidden gems on Beacon Hill, each of Boston’s neighborhoods has a remarkably different style and tone.
The unique personality of each neighborhood can be found in the cuisine of the restaurants and the style of the shops, galleries and open markets. The diverse population of Boston is spread throughout - students in Allston/Brighton, the blue bloods of Beacon Hill, the old Italian families of the North End and the multi-culture of the South End. And of course you’ll find a piece of Boston’s history in each of these areas. Take some time and explore what each of these neighborhoods has to offer.
