Located right next to the North End, Christopher Columbus Park is an Instagramer’s dream! It has views of the harbor and vine-covered archways. During peak times, it will be hard to get a photo without people in the background, but it is an amazing spot to shoot early in the morning when the sun is coming up over the water
Boston’s Little Italy is one of the most photogenic neighborhoods in the city. The buildings are all brick and copper, with little shops and restaurants tucked down staircases and hidden along sidestreets. The best time to visit is during the weekends in August to see the Fisherman Festival and Festival of Saint Anthony when the neighborhood is full of parades and vendors selling authentic Italian street food
Imagine historic brick townhouses covered in ivy, cobble stone sidewalks, and old-fashioned lampposts and you’re picturing Beason Hill, one of Boston’s wealthiest neighborhoods! Home to revolutionaries and famous authors, like Silvia Plath, Robert Frost, and Louisa May Alcott, this neighborhood is worth exploring (and its own photoshoot). If you’re up early enough, you might be able to take photos on the infamous Acorn Street before the crowds get there, but if you want to avoid cropping people out of your pictures, walk a little farther and visit Cedar Way for a quiet row of brick stone buildings or Spruce Place for a cobblestone road.
Whether you’re into academics or movies, you’ve heard of Harvard, but you might not be familiar with the cute area around the campus. You’ll find lots of historic brick buildings, trendy restaurants, and tons of Harvard apparel nearby to pose with. Plus, you’ll have more than one opportunity to try out your best Boston accent saying “pahk the cah on hahvahd yahd.”
