Classic Boston TV

A drive past the real buildings that played fictional law firms, hospitals, and city hall on television

Film crews come to Boston for streets that can pretend to be anywhere. Here is what they used. Six stops over 4.8 miles, about 34 minutes of driving. Each one starts talking the moment you reach it, so you can keep your eyes on the street instead of a screen.

Of the 50 MassRoam tours in Boston, this is the film-and-TV one. There is no start time to make — walk it in one go, or leave the rest for another afternoon.
