This is a great area to walk around - architecture is amazing, has Boston Common, shopping and dining. Great area !!!

My friend and I stayed in a hotel in Beacon Hill on our trip to Boston. This neighborhood is stunning. It is full of antique shops and beautiful old houses. Some of the streets are still cobblestone and gas lamps light your way. The only drawback is that you are definetly on a hill so walking up it can be... More

Like, access, simply get off at subway from Boston commons, Like-seeing the small narrow streets, cobblestone lanes etc. Like-the shops and cafe's.

If you love architecture and walking, Beacon Hill is the place in Boston. Old time brick houses with old fashioned street lights makes this neighborhood a walk through the past. State Capital building is next door, which is another site to see.

When you think of Boston you think of Cobblestone Streets, nice Row Houses and Brownstones and this is where you will find it. Acorn St is one of the prettiest streets anywhere and nearby Louisburg Square is home to some of the nicest houses in the country. Charles Street is also a great one with lots of restaurants and stores... More

Such a beautiful area, so scenic, went to the Beacon Hill pub for a drink, if you walk right down to the end of the street, you end up at the Charles river.

I really enjoyed walking around this area, it is really charming! Houses are amazing, there are also couple of historic houses open for visitors...

This is just that - individual shops of all kinds interspersed with cafes and cosy restaurants. Get away from the chains and browse unique places selling all sorts of different items. There are antique shops here, too.

Beacon Hill is a beautiful area that you need to at LEAST ride through and admire. Lots of history there (and the who's-who live there too!)
