On a clear day you can see forever from the Boston Skywalk Observatory in the Prudential Building. Be sure and take advantage of the free audio tour to get the most out of your visit.

We did the Skywalk on a beautiful clear day, and the 360 degree views of Boston were just amazing. There's also a lot of historical and general information around the walk, which was all very interesting (although I couldn't read all of it as I spend most of the time chasing after a toddler!). Would definitely recommend it, you can... More

Why would you go here when you could go to Top of the Hub and look over the view with a cocktail for a lower admission price?

We visited late in the afternoon and saw both the view in daylight and in the early evening hours when the lights were just beginning to come on.

When you arrive, you get a handheld device. As you walk around, you punch in numbers at each window, and you get an explanation and... More

If you want to see Boston from 50 stories above the city, this is the place to do it. The Hancock skywalk closed after 9/11. Go on a clear day and the view is amazing. I think the admission is a little high.

It's a sky walk but it's a great way to see a great city!
