Prettiest Boston neighborhood for taking a walk?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

it's especially nice at night, when the row houses are all lit up and the vintage street lamps are glowing, and the big monolith atop Beacon Hill itself just kinda looms over it all.
it's really pretty and i'd highly recommend it.
a visit, and a penchant for charming neighborhoods.

Looking for a guide? The company Walking Tours of Historic Boston books walking tours for both visitors and locals.
Also, a great book to help you plan a delicious walk around the city is "Boston Neighborhoods: A Food Lover's Walking, Eating and shopping Guide to Ethnic Enclaves in and around Boston"

Not only is the USS Constituition (Old Ironsides) parked there, but the cobblestone roads and colonial architecture are the best-preserved in the entire city.
There's also the Bunker Hill Monument, where one of the most important battles of the Revolution was fought ("Don't fire till you see the whites of their eyes!") ... however -- don't tell anyone -- the battle was ACTUALLY fought on Breed's Hill. So, yes, the monument is in the wrong place. oops.
As a close second, I'd have to go with Newbury Street. It's a bit of a scene, hipster-central, but still pretty cool:
The Frank Gehry-designed 'old Tower Records building' is at the end of the street.

And of course, "The Pru", aka the Prudential Building, looms over everything in the background:
I grew up in New Hampshire and lived in Boston for several years.

If you're a lifetime west coaster like me, even strolling just down Beacon Street is a great time. Plenty of houses with (what I think is) pretty quintessential Bostonion architecture.
And you can catch peeks of the Charles River in between houses-- especially right by the New England College of Optometry building.
