Walking Tour of the Seaport: Boston's Newest Neighborhood


Adult Education / Experience and Explore -
Adult Summer 2024

Join guide Yanni Tsipis with WS Development, the largest developer driving the recent evolution of Boston’s Seaport District, for a behind-the-scenes tour of the past, present, and future of Boston’s newest neighborhood. From humble beginnings as Boston’s working port, through a long period of decline and decay, to today’s vibrant mixed-use destination and economic engine, no part of Boston has transformed more quickly than the Seaport or has had a greater impact on the trajectory of the city in the last decade. During this 90-minute presentation and walking tour, you will learn about the role that the Big Dig played in unlocking the potential of the area and the philosophy that the Seaport’s largest developer is applying to the neighborhood’s future; and you will tour some of the newest buildings and outdoor spaces defining the skyline and public realm of Boston’s future. Note: The tour will involve multiple stair climbs. Limited to 20.
