    Terrific 360-degree view of the city. There is also a restaurant, just above the observation deck called Top of the City.

    The Skywalk on the 50th floor of the Prudential Centre was well worth visiting for the view of Boston. Initially I found the audio commentary very cheesy and I thought it a bit too jokey but after a short while I found myself ignoring the worst aspects. It was very useful if helping a complete stranger like myself to orientate myself and it was very useful in pointing out major landmarks that I would not have beeen able to identify myself.
    Around the inside of the the 50th floor are historical facts about Boston and its people. I was fascinated to see the section on sports - not one of the sports that are important to Boston (and probably the USA) is important in the UK - in fact they are all minority sports in the UK!!!
    Skywalk is open 10am to 10pm.

    This is one of the best parts of the view at night. The top of this building, all lit-up, seems as if you could reach out and touch it.

    The Pru,is a skyscraper in Boston, Massachusetts. The building, a part of the Prudential Center complex, currently stands as the 2nd-tallest building in Boston, behind the John Hancock Tower. The Prudential Tower was designed by Charles Luckman and Associates for Prudential Insurance. Completed in 1964, the building is 759 ft (229 m) tall, with 52 floors. It contains 1.2 million square feet (111,484 mē) of commercial and retail space. Including its radio mast, the tower stands as the tallest building in Boston and the 26th-tallest in the United States, rising to 907 feet (276 m) in height. A 50th floor observation deck, called the "Prudential Skywalk", is currently the highest observation deck in New England that is open to the public, as the higher observation deck of the John Hancock Tower has been closed (somewhat controversially) since the terror

    We ate lunch at Top of the Hub this restaurant on the 52nd floor of the Prudential Center offered sweeping views of the Boston skyline. We enjoyed local dishes and seafood while watching panoramic views through the dining room's floor-to-ceiling windows.
