Back Bay Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Back Bay
Head to Back Bay for Victorian brownstone homes, hip coffee joints and a shopping district that rivals Manhattan’s 5th Avenue.

This historic neighbourhood on the banks of the Charles River is a perfect home away from home during your time in Boston. When you’re not relaxing in your hotel, which is probably housed in a historic building, take a walk along the Commonwealth Avenue Mall, shop in Newbury Street and and snap a selfie in front of the magnificent Old South Church.
