Most people visiting Boston are there to explore its history and check out the Red Sox’s iconic Fenway Park, but one thing about this city that makes it truly astonishing is its skyline. Its spectacular skyscrapers are truly one of a kind, and here are some of the most impressive ones.
John Hancock Tower
John Hancock Tower has been one of the symbols of Boston since it opened its doors in 1976. For almost half a century, it’s been standing tall at 790 foot and it still holds the record as the tallest high-rise in Boston and all of New England.
Prudential Tower
Known by its nickname The Pru, this building was the tallest building in New England when it was built in 1964. It fell to second place after the Hancock broke its record, but it’s still one of Boston’s most impressive skyscrapers. One of its most popular attractions is the observation deck The Skywalk, located on the building’s 50th floor.
111 Huntington Avenue
This building that’s located inside the Prudential Center complex won’t take your breath away with its height, but with its unique design. It earned the nickname R2-D2 Building because its distinctive top is incredibly reminiscent of the iconic Star Wars droid.
