 Beautiful brownstones and landmarks |
Commonwealth Avenue Boston, MA 02116 United States +1 888 733 26 7866 (Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau) |
The quaint, tree-lined streets in this neighborhood are filled with brownstone shops, restaurants, bars and upscale housing. The Public Garden is the neighborhood border. From there, you can amble along the wide sidewalks of Commonwealth Avenue or down lively Newbury or Boylston Streets. There are many types of international foods available, from tapas to sushi. Numerous bars serve as meeting places for talking, drinking and dancing. Also in the neighborhood are the John Hancock Tower and the Prudential Center, two of Boston's most prominent skyscrapers.

Boston College is a coeducational, Liberal Arts Jesuit university with an undergraduate student population of 9,000. The campus, build in 1913, features the finest examples of Collegiate Gothic architecture in the United States and is quite visually stunning. The university's flagship building, Gasson Hall, towers above "the Heights" (the local term for the campus) and its bells can be heard for miles in all directions. The nearby towns of Newton, Chestnut Hill, Brookline, Brighton, and others provide upscale shopping and dining without the crowds of downtown Boston. BC is also very conveniently located near public transportation, and can be reached by three separate trains on the green line, as well as by the BC buses that run from the campus to Brookline. Stop in the McMullen Art Museum in Devlin Hall and admire the fine art, as well as the stunning architecture of the admissions building, chosen as the most beautiful building in Boston in 2006. Football games draw the largest crowds, so beware of driving nearby during game days. Boston College mixes the resources of a large research university with the individualized attention and strong community more often found in small Liberal Arts colleges, and both students and faculty benefit from this. Come and enjoy the rich history that the University is steeped in and take an unforgettable stroll around the campus! Review © 2007, Wcities |

If you have seen the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum and want to learn even more about the Kennedys, visit the 35th President's birthplace in suburban Brookline. Under the guidance of the late Rose Kennedy, the former home of 'America's royal family' has been restored to the way it appeared on May 29, 1917. The U.S. Park Service offers guided tours from April to November. Only tour participants are admitted inside the home. Review © 2007, Wcities |
