Boston Landmarks

Boston's Back Bay Landmarks

Thursday, September 18

Explore some heavenly sights and reach heavenly heights on our Boston Back Bay Landmarks tour! Enjoy a guided tour of the Romanesque style First Church of Christ, built in 1894. It includes frescoes, mosaic work, marble floors, and stained-glass windows. In the 1906 Byzantine Renaissance style church extension, find a soaring dome, seating for over 3,000 people, and one of the world's largest Aeolian-Skinner pipe organs.

Just across the Christian Science Plaza we will explore the world famous Mapparium, a stunning three-story-tall globe made of stained glass that is viewed from a 30-foot-long bridge through its interior.

Afterwards, you are free to enjoy lunch on your own. You might choose to enjoy lunch in the clouds at one of the Observatory's two dining experiences (advanced reservations recommended), eat at one of the many street level restaurants like Cheesecake Factory, or nosh your way around Eataly, the Italian market.

After lunch, take an elevator ride to some heavenly heights at View Boston - the new observatory high atop the Prudential Center (one of the tallest buildings in all of New England!). The 360-degree observation deck offers breathtaking views, interactive displays, and 3D models go over Boston's rich history and diverse neighborhoods.

End the day with a guided tour of Trinity Church Boston, designated as "one of the ten most important buildings in America". More than 70,000 visitors tour this National Historic Landmark each year. Built in the 1870s, Trinity features dozens of stained-glass panels, colorful mosaics, La Farge wall murals, and needle worked kneelers.
