Beacon Hill is a lovely area with brick townhouses built in the late 1700's and early 1800's. It is a beautiful place to stroll at any time of year. In the warmer months people plant window boxes that are quite impressive, as they have a yearly window box competition. On Halloween, people really go crazy decorating their houses, and it's a great place to trick or treat. And in winter it looks very quaint.If you get hungry, head down to Charles St. at the foot of the hill, where there are lots of nice restaurants and cute, independent shops as well.Beacon Hill is also a great place to take a walking tour. It is known for being the home of the traditional "Boston Brahmins," as well as many famous authors and thinkers. Some examples of people who strode these streets or lived here are Emerson, Thoreau, Longfellow, Louisa May Alcott, and Julia Ward Howe. Many of these homes were also stops on the Underground Railroad, as Beacon Hill was a hotbed of abolitionism.The North Slope of the hill was home to one of the first free Black communities in the country. The National Park Service offers free tours of the Black Heritage Trail there, or you can just visit their headquarters and museum at the African Meeting House .Also, be sure to take a picture of Acorn St.! It is an adorable, narrow, cobblestoned street that takes you right back in time.

We went up Beacon Hill specifically to see the Christmas wreaths and decorations on and around the doors. We were not disappointed. We really enjoyed our Happy Holidays.

Great way to see old Boston. Lots of nice old style row houses and narrow streets and brick walks. Lots of neat shops and restaurants on Charles Street.

It is worth the time to stoll through this area. The architecture of beacon hill is very unique. It reminds me a lot of Montreal where I am from. Narrow street and very well kept historic homes

The very beautiful Greek Revival Style architecture from Charles Bulfinch on the Beacon Hill, especially in the heart at Louisburg Square & the servant apartments on Acorn Street are one of the Pearls of Boston! The most expensive place in town! Welcome in the world of Edith Wharton!

Love taking solo walks around Beacon Hill. Super Historical & as it is a very pricey place to live, the neighborhood is well kept. Just recently started to walk through narrow streets, instead of taking shorter route on Cambridge Street. Love seeing all the dogs who I regularly encounter. There are also a number of "commoner" little corner restaurants and corner stores. Keep your eyes open for the occasional historical sign. Lots of history on Beacon Hill. Include a visit to State House on your tour of Beacon Hill.

Very nice neighborhood to walk around; over priced stores but great to stop into and browse. Parking can be a toss up. Close to other Boston destinations/ sights.

This is where I grew up, not only is it beautiful, Architecture, Shops, Food, Art, it's a place I have seen grow for the past 60 years, someone even tried to rent me one of my old apartments. Beacon Hill is near everything you might want to see in the city, come in the spring or fall you won't be sorry

Nice spot to take a walk, not far from the shopping area. Old, beautiful buildings to see and parks around. Quiet and safe area.

A welcome trip to an older residential Boston. It is as beautiful as the photos show and well worth a visit. It is at the north end of the Common and you do not really need a guide or to go on a trip.. It would have been good to see inside a building aside from shops - perhaps we missed this? The leaflet could have been more detailed and informative. Lovely architecture, peaceful and sedate. It makes you very nosy! I would have loved to see beyond the garden gates. Obviously very exclusive - lucky residents!

We took the ferry from the pier to Beacon Hill, nice way to get there with great views of the city and the Bay Area. It's a 10 min walk from the pier to the hill which is well marked but you couldn't get lost as Beacon Hill spire stands out wherever you are. The grounds around the monument are clean and green. The view back to the city is nice but not as nice as the top of the monument. It's free to get to the top, but it's 294 steps straight up and quite an effort and well worth it. Some people turned back finding it to hard, they missed out on a great view of the Boston city and surrounding area. The museum was small but we'll put together.

The capitol is located here, along with a very nice park, cheers, and several other famous attractions. Would definitely go back.

One of my best walking area in Boston. There are any café around historic buildings. Must see place in Boston

We walked around this area for a while, both during the day and at night. Had a really nice feeling about it (hard to believe you are in a major US city). Christmas decorations everywhere.
