Prudential Center Skywalk provides visitors to Boston with the best views of the city. Everyone will love the sights from 52 stories above the ground at this observatory that, for years, was part of the tallest building in Boston. (The Hancock Tower, at 60 stories, is now taller.)

The huge glass windows provide a 360 degree panoramic view of this marvelous colonial city, and guests can take an Antenna Audio Tour that will help them recognize the sites below and educate them as to the history of the facility.

Rumor has it that on really clear days, you can see Cape Cod from this completely enclosed observatory!  The Prudential Center Skywalk is open seven days a week but does sometimes close for private functions.

In the remainder of the tower, office space is plentiful, and on the first floor, there are about 50 shops and restaurants for everyone to enjoy, including Lord and Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue department stores.
