I travel to the suburbs outside of Boston a few times a year. Whenever schedule allows, I try to stay an extra day in downtown Boston to take in the sights. Here’s a day in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston.
The Back Bay neighborhood runs along the Charles River on the opposite side of Cambridge. This trendy neighborhood contains upscale shopping, boutiques, art galleries, and fabulous restaurants. The area is home to Copley Place, Prudential Center and The John Hancock Tower, Trinity Church, and shopping along Newbury Street.
