Walk in the footsteps of Paul Revere.

Historic Tourism Walkable Restaurants Shops Downtown

The North End of Boston occupies the northeastern corner of the city beyond Washington Street and Columbus Circle. It is the city’s oldest residential neighborhood and comes with a rich history. Boston’s “Little Italy” has undergone some serious growth and modernization over the decades. Once home to revolutionary heroes such as Paul Revere, the area now draws new residents, young professionals, retirees, and tourists. Residents’ pride in this neighborhood is almost tangible – locals love North End and show it every summer during Feast season, a few weeks span of parades, music, dancing, and street food, all in celebration of North End and historic Italian Saints.

While this neighborhood is admittedly very tourist-heavy, the resulting revenue keeps the economy booming. Residents are still able to live, work, and play like normal. North End is less than a mile from Downtown Boston, making work commutes a breeze. Additionally, a wealth of public transportation helps locals in and out of the city without the inconvenience of traffic jams and metered parking.
