Suggestions for Plaza near Back Bay West, Boston

Miguel Ángel Q. • July 23, 2024A must visit, pretty beautiful building with cozy spaces

Sabine V. • April 19, 2015Beautiful. I know it's a church, but it has a very romantic energy.

Jordi L. • September 3, 2016There was a market on Friday (no idea if it's daily though). Big and spacious place for lunchtime or just for walk. Huges buildings as well. It's close to anything in Boston.

Susie J. • January 5, 2012Chill on the lawn or by the reflecting pool, play in the fountain, listen to the chimes, get a tour of the church, visit the famous Mapparium at the Mary Baker Eddy Library, read, have lunch...

Tiffany • August 27, 2012Perfect spot to enjoy lunch from a food truck parked nearby.

Eric • March 27, 2011Nice set of statues, known to kids as "the ladies"

Naomi G. • November 1, 2013Fun place to go on Halloween. ^_^

Travelhound12 • June 25, 2021When the fountain is working this is a wonderful place to relax and let the soothing effects of the water kick in. Read, people-watch or partake in a farmer’s market (Tues/Fri only).

Tanya L. • July 26, 2012Do the gazpacho.

rachmezz • September 1, 2010I definitely stepped on it once or twice (accidentally) and I still received my diploma!

Alwyn V. • October 11, 2011Boston’s best shopping plaza a stones throw from Newbury Street and close to so many good to great restaurants.

Ann B. • July 11, 2013nice commute walk

Steven C. • July 7, 2010Great little fountain. A popular tourist street that Boston urban andevtours rides by

Kyle B. • August 1, 2011Always busy at 1..... But nice alternative to no AC outside

Josh P. • June 18, 2013This plaza is great to grab lunch. Grab a friend and a wrap from Backbay Sandwich shop across the street and play some chess. Getting to listen to the waterfall isn't a bad perk either.

F Javier T. • March 18, 2010Check out the Plaza the 3rd weekend in July for 3 days of non-stop music, dancing and food: Festival Betances!
