Posh Boston shopping in Back Bay

Famed Newbury Street shopping in the Back Bay neighborhood brings together internationally known designers such as Marc Jacobs and Ralph Lauren, trendy boutiques, national retailers, and individually owned shops.

Newbury Street shopping includes more than just clothes.  You'll find high-end home furnishing stores such as Madura and Simon Pearce, plus antique stores, bookstores, and jewelry.  A large number of Boston's art galleries plus several antique shops also call Newbury Street "home." 

Newbury Street is located in Boston's elegant Back Bay neighborhood.  You'll find all the shops in the 8 blocks between the Public Garden and Massachusetts Avenue.  As you can see in the photo show, grand Victorian mansions line both sides of the street, although you'll find some modern buildings tucked in here and there. 

In addition to shopping, Newbury Street is where you'll find the elegant Taj Boston Hotel, top hair salons, fashionable restaurants such as Piattini Wine Cafe, and Sonsie, one of Boston's most popular nightspots.

Only one block away is Boylston Street, running parallel to Newbury, is where you'll find even more top shopping.  In addition to huge sporting goods emporiums such as Eastern Mountain Sports and City Sports, you'll find Back Bay's Apple Store, Anthropologie, luxury linen purveyor Frette next to the new Mandarin Oriental Boston Hotel, and even discounter Marshalls. 

But if that's not enough, upscale Prudential Center is steps away from the Mandarin Oriental.  Anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor, Pru Center also offers some of the best views in Boston from the Prudential Skywalk and Top of the Hub restaurant.

For even more shopping, walk through the skywalk from Prudential Center to Copley Place, yet another luxury Boston shopping mall loaded with internationally renowned designers. 

Anchored by Neiman Marcus, Copley Place is also home to Jimmy Choo, Dior, Armani, Tiffany, and more.

If you're visiting Boston, you can certain explore part of Newbury Street in an hour or 2.  But if you love browsing, you may want to set aside an entire day - maybe more - for Newbury Street shopping.
