Tours, Attractions & Fun - Find Your Boston It's All About You!
Boston By Foot - Perfect for the Historian
This tour provider is a favorite of history purists because it's all based in fact, rather than tall tales. Among a variety of specialized themes, "Boston's LGBT Past" is a 90-minute journey through the city's gay and lesbian culture from the 1840s to the 1980s. Tours must be scheduled, ideally a week in advance.
South End - Ideal Haven For Foodies & Artisians Alike
Like something out of a Henry James novel, the South End Neighborhood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the largest Victorian row house district in the country. Foodies will love the numerous incredible restaurants and the Artisians will appreciate the art scene. Known as an LGBT retreat, the South End is a stop you'll be glad you included in your Boston Travels.
SoWa Artists Guild
Mingle with members of the South End community at SoWa Artists Guild's First Friday evenings, where 50 to 60 local artists open their studios to the public, play music, pour a little wine and converse on the process of creativity.
