Boston is one of those cities that has something in store for travelers from all walks of life, including passionate art lovers. The cultural and art scene of the capital of Massachusetts is truly thriving and here are some of the most amazing art galleries and museums that you shouldn’t miss during your visit.

Museum of Fine Arts

Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts is home to 450,000 works of art and its collection is more versatile than its name suggests. It includes everything from ancient Egyptian artifacts and Japanese art to a collection of contemporary American art.

The Institute of Contemporary Art

Speaking of contemporary art, Boston has an entire museum devoted to it, located inside a striking modern building overlooking the Boston Harbor.

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

Located inside a 15th-century Venetian palace, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum was named after one of America’s leading art collectors and it’s home to an impressive collection of European, Asian, and American art.

Harvard Art Museums

A trip to Boston is incomplete if you don’t take a moment to admire its beautiful skyline from the Boston Harbor. The capital of Massachusetts simply wouldn’t be the same without its astonishing skyscrapers, and here are some of the most impressive ones you’ll get to see.

John Hancock Tower

Known simply as the Hancock, this high-rise has been one of the symbols of Boston for almost half a century. When it first opened its doors in 1976, it was the tallest building in the city at 790 feet, and its record hasn’t been broken to this day.

Prudential Tower

Boston’s second tallest skyscraper is known by the colloquial name The Pru, and it’s 749 feet tall. At the time of its building in 1964, it was the tallest building in New England before John Hancock Tower broke its record about a decade later. This building is also home to the city’s highest observation deck The Skywalk, located on the 50th floor.

111 Huntington Avenue

Located inside the Prudential Center complex, just in front of the Prudential Tower, this high-rise isn’t one of Boston’s tallest but there’s something that sets it apart. Its eye-catching top is impossible to miss, and this skyscraper is often referred to as R2-D2 Building because it resembles the beloved Star Wars droid.

From art and history to science and culture, Boston is home to countless museums that cover pretty much every subject matter that you can think of. Some of the museums in this Massachusetts city are so unusual and quirky that they explore topics that would never cross your mind, and that happens to be the case with these three.

Museum Of Bad Art

Who said that art has to be good to be celebrated? Museum Of Bad Art aka MOBA is located in Boston’s Somerville Theatre and it showcases art that’s too bad to be explored. You probably won’t stumble upon any masterpieces here, but it’s fun to explore a museum that celebrates the labor of aspiring artists who are simply doing their best.

Museum Of Modern Renaissance

A day trip to Somerville is a must when you’re in Boston since it’s home to many hidden gems—including the Museum of Modern Renaissance. It will win you over with its colorful murals and over-the-top art pieces that will take you to another realm

Warren Anatomical Museum

A visit to Boston is incomplete if you don’t take some time to check out Harvard University. You can discover several museums on its premises, and you’ll especially enjoy Warren Anatomical Museum if you happen to be interested in medicine since it features a pretty impressive collection of anatomical and pathological specimens.

If you’re thinking of visiting Boston with your entire family, but aren’t sure your kids will enjoy it, get ready to pack your bags. The capital of Massachusetts is a perfect destination for family trips because it happens to be home to countless kid-friendly spots that you can explore with your little ones.

Amusement Parks

Boston may not have any major amusement parks in its surroundings, but you can find a similar experience at several different places, from Legoland Discovery Center to the retro Greenway Carousel and Paragon Carousel.

A visit to Massachusetts is incomplete without a trip to its capital of Boston. This charming city will win you over with its rich history and architectural beauty, especially if you decide to explore it beyond the most popular tourist attraction. Boston is home to many amazing hidden gems, and Acorn Street is one of the very best.

Acorn Street is located in the heart of Beacon Hill, one of the city’s most charming historic neighborhoods. It’s often described as Boston’s most photographed street, and it’s not difficult to see how it became such a huge hit with tourists and locals alike.

Back in the 19th century, this street used to be home to artisans and tradespeople, and it looks pretty much the same two centuries later. It will win you over with its red brick sidewalks, multi-level townhouses, and cobblestone lanes that give it a major New England vibe.

A visit to Acorn Street is a quintessential Boston experience, but keep in mind you shouldn’t treat it like any other attraction. After all, many locals call it their home, and that’s why you should be mindful during your visit. Acorn Street may be a major tourist attraction, but try your best not to disturb the peace and privacy of those lucky enough to live here.

Most people visiting Boston are there for its rich history, amazing architecture, and thriving sports scene, but there’s more to this city than meets the eye. If you want to feel like you walked straight into the fairy tale while in the capital of Massachusetts, Kelleher Rose Garden is just the spot for you.

This stunning garden is safely tucked away inside the Back Bay Fens. The Museum of Fine Arts is located just across the street, but some of the city’s main attractions aren’t too far either, including Fenway Park, the home of the Boston Red Sox.

This beautiful spot with a “secret garden” feel has been around since 1930, when noted Boston landscape architect Arthur Shurcliff designed it. One of its most notable attractions is El Desconsol, a marble sculpture that Boston received as a gift from its sister city of Barcelona.

Flower lovers will feel right at home in this rose garden since it covers 15,000 square feet, with over 1,500 roses from 200 different varieties on its grounds. It’s a part of Boston’s chain of parks known as Emerald Necklace, which celebrates the natural beauty of the capital of Massachusetts.

Fall is quickly approaching, which means it’s time to start planning for one of the most fun fall traditions: apple picking! If you’re in Boston for fall, you’re in luck. Massachusetts has a proper fall complete with sweater weather and beautiful foliage, as well as lots of farms for apple and pumpkin picking.

Boston Hill Farm

Boston Hill is the perfect farm for you if you love having lots of snack options. Fall brings several apple species to ripen including Macoun, Courtland, and Macintosh.

Located just a quick ferry ride from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Martha’s Vineyard is a popular island escape with great beaches, hotels, cottages, and markets. It’s a favorite destination of the rich and famous, but there’s no reason why you can’t enjoy it, too. Here is what we recommend doing when you visit.

Visit Edgartown Lighthouse

Edgartown Lighthouse is just one of the five lighthouses on Martha’s Vineyard, but it’s a favorite for visitors and locals alike, often figuring as an important part of community events. The two-story wooden lighthouse has a light room that can only be accessible by a vertical ladder, but you can enjoy it even without making the climb up.

Check Out Polly Hill Arboretum

A must-see if you like nature, the Polly Hill Arboretum consists of 20 acres of shrubs, trees, and flowers from around the world with another 40 acres of natural preserve. You can see everything from rhododendrons to hollies to crabapples and magnolias in a gorgeously landscaped field.

See the Gingerbread Houses

If you head over to Oak Bluffs, you’ll be able to see a strip of candy-colored houses with whimsical details that you just can’t help but photograph. If you have an Instagram, this is the perfect place to take your Martha’s Vineyard photos.

Most people visiting Boston are there for its rich history, amazing architecture, and thriving sports scene, but there’s more to this city than meets the eye. If you want to feel like you walked straight into the fairy tale while in the capital of Massachusetts, Kelleher Rose Garden is just the spot for you.

This stunning garden is safely tucked away inside the Back Bay Fens. The Museum of Fine Arts is located just across the street, but some of the city’s main attractions aren’t too far either, including Fenway Park, the home of the Boston Red Sox.

This beautiful spot with a “secret garden” feel has been around since 1930, when noted Boston landscape architect Arthur Shurcliff designed it. One of its most notable attractions is El Desconsol, a marble sculpture that Boston received as a gift from its sister city of Barcelona.

Flower lovers will feel right at home in this rose garden since it covers 15,000 square feet, with over 1,500 roses from 200 different varieties on its grounds. It’s a part of Boston’s chain of parks known as Emerald Necklace, which celebrates the natural beauty of the capital of Massachusetts.

Located just a quick ferry ride from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Martha’s Vineyard is a popular island escape with great beaches, hotels, cottages, and markets. It’s a favorite destination of the rich and famous, but there’s no reason why you can’t enjoy it, too. Here is what we recommend doing when you visit.

Visit Edgartown Lighthouse

Edgartown Lighthouse is just one of the five lighthouses on Martha’s Vineyard, but it’s a favorite for visitors and locals alike, often figuring as an important part of community events. The two-story wooden lighthouse has a light room that can only be accessible by a vertical ladder, but you can enjoy it even without making the climb up.

Check Out Polly Hill Arboretum

A must-see if you like nature, the Polly Hill Arboretum consists of 20 acres of shrubs, trees, and flowers from around the world with another 40 acres of natural preserve. You can see everything from rhododendrons to hollies to crabapples and magnolias in a gorgeously landscaped field.

See the Gingerbread Houses

If you head over to Oak Bluffs, you’ll be able to see a strip of candy-colored houses with whimsical details that you just can’t help but photograph. If you have an Instagram, this is the perfect place to take your Martha’s Vineyard photos.
