View Boston (Prudential Tower)
View Boston
A 360° observation deck on the top floors of the Prudential Tower, with views over the Charles River, Fenway Park and the harbor, plus an open-air terrace and a bar.
Occupying floors 52–53 of the Prudential Tower in Back Bay, this deck opened in 2023 to replace the original Skywalk Observatory and is the highest public viewpoint in central Boston. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap the indoor space, looking out over the Charles River and Cambridge, Fenway Park, the harbor and the airport. There is also an outdoor terrace and a café-bar, and sunset slots are the most sought after. Tickets cost about $30–40; book a sunset time slot on the official website in advance. The Prudential Center below connects to Copley Place, so in rain or snow you can walk indoors all the way to Copley Square. Take the Green Line to Prudential station.
