Probably one of the most iconic streets in the United States; Acorn street features an incredible cobbled street. Lined with beautiful houses you’ll feel like you stepped into back in time.
Preferably visit after rain to get the full effect of the cobblestone street in your photo.

Bates Hall of the Boston Public Library
Bates Hall in the Boston public library has stunning coffered ceiling. Best of all it’s free to enter, just keep quiet when you’re in Bates Hall since people are likely working and reading.

One of Boston’s most unique structures is the Leonard P. Zakim Bridge. With its unique suspension system you’ll want to get a photo of it lit up at night. There is a walking path through it but you’ll most likely want to explore to find the best angle.

Very similar to the Washington Monument in DC you can see the Bunker Hill Monument poking over the houses in northern Boston. Plus if you climb the 294 steps to the top you can get scenic views of Boston.

Boston Skyline from Fan Pier Park
Fan Pier Park is a great spot to get a view of the Boston skyline at night. It’s fun to work with the angles especially with the massive chain running down the pier.
