Capitalize on Halloween this year by heading to one of these Boston nieghborhoods for some of the best trick-or-treating in Massachusetts.

1. Beacon Hill - "This number one place for trick-or-treating is reasonably quiet and known for its seasonal decorations. While some of its slopes may prove a bit tricky in bad weather, you could score an extra-large candy bar from one of the townhouses. If you hadn’t already planned on venturing past Mount Vernon and Pickney Streets, try your luck on Revere and Chestnut Streets."

2. Charlestown - "Near Boston Harbor and the Mystic River, the neighborhood is home to some popular tourist attractions. Walk the Freedom Trail to the Bunker Hill Monument, or stop by the USS Constitution.There’s an annual parade at Monument Square, and residents are known to be generous with candy."

3. Back Bay - "With its grand historic homes, the Back Bay is pedestrian friendly and easy to navigate. Wind down Marlborough, Clarendon, and Dartmouth Streets, and take the little ones over to Clarendon Street Playground for the annual Halloween celebration."

4. The North End - "It’s Boston’s oldest neighborhood, and with narrow streets, old graveyards, and seasoned eateries, it’s a great place to spend the holiday. You can add to your loot collection with a box full of Italian pastries, or stop by Haymarket’s Boston Public Market for some famous apple cider doughnuts."
