Charles Street is a favorite Boston destination for shoppers young and old. The old Victorian street, with its quaint gas lamps and turn-of-the-century look, is especially attractive to antique lovers.

You'll find shops that sell all kinds of valuable treasures such as porcelain, furniture, glassware, silver, paintings, and books. If the kids tire of antique shopping, there's plenty more to do on and around Charles Street.

 There are tons of cafes, coffee shops, ice cream parlors, and bakeries on the street, all waiting to attract visitors with the delectable smells of their delicious food. The Cheers Bar is nearby as well.

Boston Common, the Public Garden, and the State House are just around the corner, so a visit to Charles Street can be combined with some fun and educational family sightseeing.
