Back Bay
Suburb
Historical heavyweights, Back Bay and Beacon Hill are some of Boston's most beautiful neighborhoods. With narrow, gas-lit streets and scores of architecturally significant buildings, these distinctly different neighborhoods will make up the core of almost any visitor's itinerary.
South End
Possessing the largest Victorian row house district in the country, the South End is one of Boston's most popular places. After many homes underwent renovation in the 1960s, upscale restaurants and art galleries sprang up, and the area has attracted a diverse blend of families, young professionals, a gay and lesbian community and a thriving artistic center.
