All Saints way is an alley full of.. you guessed it… All the Saints! It is locked to public now, but you can still catch glimpses on of the wall and of course, you can still take a peak at the Saints decorating the top of the door.

The Leonard P Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge is a stunningly build bridge next to the TD Garden Stadium and sits behind the Bobby Orr winning goal statue.

West End place is a beautifully designed condominum building caught my eye as we walked along the tour.

Hidden between some of the houses on Rollins Place is the Scarlett O’hara House which is actually an optical illusion and not a house at all! Named after a character in the novel ‘Gone with the Wind’, this so called ‘house’ is actually a brick wall and the entrance way to two separate houses.

Continuing along toward Beacon Hill, the oldest neighborhood in Boston, you will soon find yourself in sloped streets lined with brick buildings and budding trees. It is also a popular shopping destination with boutiques, coffee shops and restaurants.

At the end of Charles Street in Beacon Hill, you will arrive at the Boston Public Garden. The tulips bloom and the ducklings swim in April, but that doesn’t mean that this isn’t a beautiful spot year round!
