The Fairmont Copley Plaza’s central location makes it a great starting point to explore Boston. The best part? When you arrive at the hotel you will be greeted by Carly Copley, the Fairmont’s dog ambassador. Inside tip: After a long day walking around the city, grab a glass of wine or craft cocktail at the classic OAK Long Bar + Kitchen.
Located directly across the street from the Fairmont Copley Plaza and the Trinity Church is the Boston Public Library. This architectural gem is a great place to spend some time wandering the halls and admiring its historic details and murals. Inside tip: If you have some time, and if the weather is nice, grab a coffee and hang out in the interior courtyard.
Frenchie on Tremont offers a killer wine list and stunning backroom greenhouse that’s perfect for Sunday brunch. If you aren’t hungry and just looking for a glass of rosé, Frenchie is a great starting point before heading to surrounding cafés, restaurants and bars. Read more about Frenchie here →
With multiple locations around Boston, there’s no reason you shouldn’t stop by one, or all, especially with Stumptown Coffee on tap. The Tatte Bakery & Café in Beacon Hill (pictured above) is located inside the Charles Street Meeting House, a historic church that was built in 1807.

When visiting this park, think Central Park in New York City, but smaller and way less busy. When crossing from one side of the city to the other, cutting through Boston Common and Public Garden is the way to go. Inside tip: During Summer, free concerts and plays are held in the park which are a great way to celebrate longer days before fall and winter arrive.
Citrus & Salt specializes in tequila-based drinks and shareable plates for the table. This is a great place to take a break from walking around the city and enjoy a tasty happy hour cocktail.
Last but not least, doughnuts. There is no such thing as too many doughnuts at Blackbird. Jump start your day with a tasty treat and a cup of coffee and you’ll be ready for anything.
