The Fenway-Kenmore Area is one of the most iconic neighborhoods of Boston, and home to some of Boston’s biggest attractions - from the Fenway Stadium, to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and the MFA.
This area is also home to the 5 Colleges of the Fenway, meaning you will find lots of young and lively energy, and endless restaurants of all cuisines.

Welcome to Boston's most beautiful, and most expensive, neighborhood! Here you will feel like you've transported to some part of Europe, as you encounter cobblestone streets and beautiful red brick homes.
The red brick homes tend to have beautiful doors with quirky handles, and stunning flower arrangements.
The most popular street here is Acorn Street!

North End
North End Italian District
@lauradolcitravels
Welcome to one of Boston's most beloved neighborhoods!
The North End is a small and beautiful neighborhood of older architecture. Here you'll find small businesses and endless restaurants and cafes - most of which are Italian / Italian-American.
My personal favorites, as an Italian native, are Vinoteca di Monica and Trattoria il Panino. They offer gluten free options!
Furthermore, in the North End you'll find several pastry shops and ENDLESS cannolis!
The most famous is Mikes Pastry, but I personally DON'T recommend it. Why? Because the cannolis are already made and not as fresh as other places, and it's always over crowded.
Go to Bova's Bakery if you're a fan of movies or want a midnight snack. Go to Modern Pastry Shop for delicious pastries (including FRESH gluten free cannolis)!
Important Tip: Always bring cash with you in this area, as some cafes and pastry shops don’t take card!

@lauradolcitravels
Downtown Boston is a neighborhood of several different districts, including the Theater District, Financial District, Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market, China Town area and so forth.
When in downtown you’re right between Boston’s water front and the Boston Commons.
This is a great area for entertainment, lively nightlife, and restaurants.

Seaport District
South Boston Waterfront
@lauradolcitravels
Seaport is a beautiful waterfront and modern neighborhood full of glass buildings, restaurants, and offices, and attractions.
This area is home of the yearly RedBull Diving Event, the ICA, Puttschack, now an F1 Arcade Bar, and so much more!
As a fun fact, I saw the Seaport District get built from the ground up. One of the first times I visited, around 2013/14, this area was nothing but ground and some construction, and a Brazilian food truck. It's crazy to see how much this district has grown in just a few years!
