5 neighborhoods to get lost in in Boston

1) Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill is the embodiment of Boston with its narrow, gas-lit streets and historic brick row houses. This picturesque neighborhood, rich in old-world charm, offers Federal-style and Victorian architecture, once home to literary figures like Louisa May Alcott and Henry David Thoreau. You can even explore their former residences along Pinckney Street and the charming Louisburg Square.
