There’s a spectacular new attraction in Boston for the (literal) top of your must-see list!

The essence of Boston is here for you to experience and explore, with all of your favorite dining and shopping options just steps away!

A bird’s-eye perspective

Perched on the top three floors of the Prudential Tower, View Boston is a 360-degree observation deck offering breathtaking and orienting views from high above the heart of Boston. 

The experience begins as soon as the elevator doors open on floor 52. The panoramic windows offer unobstructed views of the city’s sprawling urban landscape that stretches for miles in every direction. Step up on the elevated viewing platforms called The Lookout to zoom in on neighborhoods across the city and learn about what makes each unique. 

Roam the 360-degree open-air roof deck called The Cloud Terrace on floor 51. Here you’ll find plenty of photo opportunities with Boston as your backdrop, including the Big Picture selfie station, which takes photos from the perspective of a camera mounted on nearby 200 Clarendon Street. Also on this floor, you can stop to enjoy beverages with a view at Stratus, an indoor-outdoor cocktail lounge. 

The 50th floor of the observatory, known as The City, includes family-friendly bistro The Beacon with a private dining space, known as Studio 50. Also on this level are interactive exhibits that enhance your understanding of Boston’s history, culture, and architecture. This includes the 3-D model of the city Boston 365, neighborhood discovery tool Explore Boston, a 270-degree immersive theater, and The Finale, where you’ll receive a personalized itinerary for the remainder of your visit.
