The Back Bay is known for being, along with Beacon Hill, one of Boston's wealthiest neighborhoods. It is the home of Boston's tallest buildings and America's oldest public library, and its commercial streets, most notably Newbury and Boylston, are some of the most popular shopping destinations in the city. This photo gallery will give you a look at some of the Back Bay's highlights.
