When you visit Boston, these are 6 neighborhoods/areas you cannot miss out on!😍
Growing up, and attending college, in Boston as the “serial” long-walks-lover that I am - I know this city better than the back of my hand.
Mixed with my deep love for this city, I ended up going overboard with this map - which originally started off as a simple Boston neighborhood listicle.😂
Along the 6 best neighborhoods, in here I shared 3 of the best attractions in each area, and 1 or 2 of the best hotels to stay in- that way you can properly prepare for your visit!☺️
Without further ado, here are the best neighborhoods and areas of Boston.😍👇
📌 Make sure to SAVE this for your future trip!

Reykjavík is the capital and largest city in Iceland. It’s also the northernmost capital in the world. The city, on the southwest coast of the island nation, is home to less than 150,000 people (that’s 60% of the total population). It’s by no means sleepy, though. It has a thriving art scene (music festivals, independent record stores, pop-up exhibits) and foodie spots (Michelin restaurants, organic wine bars, coffee culture). A grand church towers over the city. Candy-colored houses line the streets. Thermal swimming pools are gathering spots for most neighborhoods. Northern lights sightings are a real possibility (seasonally, of course). It’s also the jumping-off point for exciting adventures all around the Land of Fire and Ice. Pack for all seasons, as the weather changes frequently throughout the day--no matter what time of year it is. And be prepared to fall in love.
This detailed guide includes:
Places: islands, neighborhoods
Stay: hotels
Eat: bakeries, cafés, coffee shops, food carts & halls, ice cream, Michelin stars, restaurants
Drink: beer bars, breweries, cocktail bars, wine bars
Shop: beauty products, bookstores, chocolate shops, clothing boutiques, flea markets, outdoor wear, record stores, vintage clothing, wool products
Do: art museums, churches, concert venues, history museums, lakes, memorials, parks, peace stones, roads, sculptures, sports venues, squares, streets
Transportation: airports, bus terminals, car rentals, ferries
Note: I travel to Reykjavík quite frequently, so this guide is updated often.

Denver proudly boasts of an overwhelming 150 breweries in the city, but not all of the breweries are worth a visit. This guide will help you narrow down where to grab an afternoon beer, post up for the evening, or watch the sunrise (there is a specific bar for that). In addition, each location's happy hour and food options are noted with details about vegetarian options.
This guide includes:
▻ Bars (📍5 )
▻ Beer Gardens (📍5 )
▻ Big Breweries (📍5 )
▻ Dive Bars (📍5 )
▻ Microbreweries (📍5 )
Please note:
1. All of the locations listed are for chill and upbeat outings. If you are looking for a rowdy night out, one of these might serve as your first stop but not the main event.
2. I limited each section to 5 locations. However, there are definitely many great establishments that did not make the cut, especially in the "Bar" category. There is a huge variety of excellent bars in Denver. If you are looking for something specific, I would be happy to give you additional recommendations at a discounted consultation price.
3. The $ and $$ describe the average price of a drink, not the food.

Active volcanoes. Dancing northern lights. Gushing geysers. Massive glaciers. Thermal hot springs. Thundering waterfalls. Iceland is the ultimate adventure destination. How have you not been here yet? It’s finally time. Start in the northernmost capital in the world. Reykjavik is a hip, modern city. Then start exploring the wild coastline, the sheep-filled countryside, the icy interior, and the peaceful islands. There are plenty of black-sand beaches, small fishing villages, turf-roofed houses, and epic hikes along the way. Just remember to pack layers. Sometimes, the Gulf Stream provides moderate temperatures. Other times, it’ll feel like you’re in the Arctic. Also don’t forget the long, dark winters and the 24-hour daylight during the short summers. If you take advantage of Icelandair’s free stopover program—a great excuse to visit Helsinki, Copenhagen, and even Paris—you can keep returning to discover which season you like best.
