Boston
Whether you're a designer label fiend, a bargain hunter, a fan of boutiques, or looking for souvenirs of your time in Boston, shopping in the city that has it all is a pleasure.
From the winding streets of Beacon Hill to the South End, this historic city offers all kinds of treasures, from authentic Americana antiques to beautiful designer furniture and contemporary clothing.
Boston is full of boutiques, department stores, shopping malls and outlets. Its shopping appeal, however, lies in its quirkier venues. The extraordinary Boston International Poster Gallery features wonderful collections of original and vintage posters from around the world, with prices starting at around $50. Faneuil Hall Marketplace is the dynamic core of Boston's waterfront and spreads over 3 beautifully restored 19th century buildings connected by cobblestone streets, housing over 120 shops and more than 20 restaurants. Another fantastic waterfront shopping experience is the CambridgeSide Galleria, home to some of Boston's favourite stores, including H&M, Apple and J. Crew. For designer pieces, Copley Place features such prestigious names as Christian Dior, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Armani Exchange and Tiffany & Co.
As well as its fabulous shops, boutiques and stores, Boston museums are also shopping treasuries, from the Concord Museum's decorative arts collections to the retro t-shirts, books, videos, rocking chairs and posters in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, and the delightful toys and games of the Children's Museum.
