Beacon Hill draws plenty of attention for its looks but the neighborhood also offers unique shops and some of the city's best restaurants, along with other businesses and attractions.

Like many of the buildings in Boston, the Massachusetts State House serves as an embodiment of the city's important history.

You can see the State House while you're strolling down Freedom Trail, or you can opt for an in-depth tour of it's interior attractions.
