Boston is virtually synonymous with nightlife. From the lively bars, sporting events, museums and more, Boston has something for everyone when the sun goes down.
Check Out the Live Music Scene
Boston is virtually synonymous with a vibrant live music scene. There’s something for every type of music lover, whether you want to check out a folk club in Cambridge like Club Passim, check out up-and-coming ask at both floors of The Middle East, or top-notch classical performances from The Boston Symphony Orchestra. Other notable venues include:
- - Brighton Music Hall - Royal
- - House of Blues - Orpheum Theatre
- - The Sinclair - Paradise Rock Club
- Fenway Park
Home to the Red Sox, Fenway Park is the place to be for baseball enthusiasts. Catch the Sox in one of baseball’s storied stadiums as the once-cursed team takes on the sport’s finest against Fenway Park’s “Green Monster”. After the game lets out, the surrounding area is conveniently located next to innumerable bars and nightclubs for those that cheered on the Sox. Or, for the adventurous, take a late-night stroll through The Back Bay Fens (or The Fens as the locals call it), a rich area perfect for a late-night stroll.
Boston Commons
You haven’t been to Boston unless you’ve been to the Boston Commons, a gigantic 50-acre greenspace located in the heart of the city. While a large number of activities are geared towards the day crowd, The Commons is a great place for an evening stroll or romantic rendezvous away from the bustle of the city.

Ghost Tours

You’ll experience unforgettable views of iconic landmarks while enjoying refreshments and alcoholic beverages for an unforgettable experience - or the perfect backdrop for a marriage proposal.
Museum of Fine Arts
