Modica Way: If you think you're just passing by an alley, you'll be surprised. When in Cambridge, be sure to stop by this street art exhibition that showcases the artistry of Boston's people. This open-air gallery is a welcome sight that brings a pop of color to Boston's urban context.

Beacon Hill: Go on a walking tour of this iconic neighborhood that housed famous personalities. Check out the charming architecture that can be seen in the federal-style row houses. Take a walk in the cobblestone streets and explore the remnants of the old days in Boston. There's a lot to explore in this area, so I'm sure you'll find many photo spots.

I don't think you can fully enjoy Boston in a day even if you start early in the morning. On your visit, bring your nicest cameras and take your time to immerse in the city's most picturesque places.
