Prudential Center, Boston

Take a trip to the Prudential Center's 50th-floor observation deck for some outstanding views over the city and further afield, or simply spend a while exploring the building's vast interior at the tower's base. With over 75 specialty retailers, the choices for shopping are good for an out-of-town visitor to choose from, and there are many places to eat any meal of the day. Even if you are not here to shop, the experience of an Italian marketplace is worth the stop, so check out "Eataly", the huge open area of restaurants and specialty shops that can cause sensory overload! There is even a small Catholic chapel in the mall – the St. Francis Chapel – with frequent masses.

Opening Hours:
Mon-Sat: 10am-9pm: Sun: 11am-7pm
