Boston
Boston’s Back Bay works well for a plan built around looking closely rather than travelling widely. Copley Square, Newbury Street and the residential avenues offer different subjects within a recognisable part of the city. Agree on whether the main interest is architecture, art or an unhurried conversation before choosing your meeting point.

Give Copley Square its own attention
The Boston Public Library and Trinity Church give Copley Square a strong architectural identity. Pick one building or detail to discuss instead of trying to collect every landmark. An interior visit is a separate commitment: consult the relevant institution’s current visitor information before making it the centre of a shared plan.
Follow a different interest along Newbury Street
Newbury Street combines galleries, shops and cafés, while Commonwealth Avenue introduces monuments and the neighbourhood’s brownstone setting. Choose a short stretch that suits your shared interests. You can compare an artwork or a building, then decide together whether to continue walking or stop for a conversation.
