About this walk

A walk past Newbury Street, Copley Square, and Theatre District spots that have doubled for the movies

Film crews come to Boston for streets that can pretend to be anywhere. Here is what they used. Six stops over 4.4 miles, about two hours of walking. The story for each stop plays as you arrive, so nothing has to be looked up and nobody has to be followed.

Boston has 50 MassRoam tours and no two cover the same ground. It works as well at eight in the morning as it does at dusk. Stop for coffee, pick it back up.
