WHAT: Shops, restaurants, culture, history, and more
Your tour of Beacon Hill includes highlights like its working gas lamps, brick sidewalks, and nineteenth century row houses with amazing detail in their iron work, door knockers, and foot scrapers. On Mount Vernon Street you’ll find the Massachusetts State House, the Nichols House Museum, and Louisburg Square. These glorious Bostonian homes (typically designed and inhabited by the wealthy) rest under beautiful old elms, making this the most beautiful neighborhood in the city. On nearby Newbury Street, instead of history, you’ll find all the modern shopping and dining you could want. Besides the amazing clothing boutiques like Chanel, Marc Jacobs, and Ralph Lauren, you’ll also discover home and garden items and specialty shops with candy, music, sporting goods, books, jewelry, and much more.
