Neighborhood Attractions
There’s so much more to Boston than brown bread and historic cobblestone streets. Whatever the season, you will have plenty to do in New England’s vibrant cultural capital. In summer, enjoy a baseball game at historic Fenway Park, rowing on the beautiful Charles River and dining alfresco at a quaint neighborhood restaurant. In winter, skating on the Frog Pond and lively winter markets await or head indoors to a world-class museum, electrifying concert, renowned theatre performance or a cozy pub. In spring and autumn, experience the distinctive shops of Newbury Street and Charles Street, unique city tours, biking trails or a stroll through the stunning parks of the city’s Emerald Necklace.
