You don't need to tussle with the crowds inside a bustling gallery to enjoy art — often, you can find it outdoors. Feast your eyes on some interesting works at The Alchemist.

Traveling on a shoestring? The fact that The Alchemist won't cost you a cent will be music to your ears. This outdoor arts display is located in the commercial neighborhood of Mid-Cambridge and just one of many things to see and do around here. Fenway Park, Boston Common and Faneuil Hall Marketplace will be waiting for you too.

6.2/10 (245 reviews)

Great central location, but very over priced for what you get. Felt like I was going to fall through the floor. Super old building and nothing works that well. Internet on tv didn't work. Bath plug/stopper didn't work. Electric hotplate didn't work. Don't bring a large suitcase as the stairs are very narrow and steep and I had to lug it up to the 4th floor.

The entire experience at The Iris hotel was excellent form the Valet parking, the room, the bar & the restaurant. I would stay there anytime I'm in Brookline

Everywhere you went you were greeted with a smile. The front desk were wonderful. The doorman and bellman were very attentive. The room itself was very spacious and well appointed. I was thrilled to have access to Diptique beauty products. It was a fabulous stay from start to finish.
