  1. great tour, I enjoyed the neighborhoods you visited and shown us today

    I’m inviting you to join us for Travel Photo Mondays, the link runs all week so I hope you can join us for the next installment?

  2. You’re missing a lot of details about a lot of the neighborhoods! I lived there for 7 years and have so many fond memories of Boston. Definitely one of my favorite cities.

  3. What a fun tour! I love Boston and your photos make me want to go back–especially to explore the beautiful cobblestone streets of Beacon Hill. Stopping by from Travel Photo Mondays 🙂

  4. I’ve spent quite a bit of time roaming around Boston neighborhoods like Beacon Hill, Back Bay, North End, downtown, etc., but still have more to explore. They really are distinct. What a great city for getting around on foot.

  5. Nice post Marina! I’ve never been to Boston even though it’s only a few hours away. I guess I just hate the Bruins too much. But one day we’ll go and I’ll note your tips!
    Thanks
