A COMBINATION OF MARKETS AND TRADES AND BOSTON TRULY AT ITS MOST COMMON...BRING A CASH, CREDIT CARDS, AND A CARRY-ALL BASKET ON WHEELS ... SPEND THE DAY, ENJOY THE DINING, DO THE GROCERY SHOPPING, PICK UP A TRINKET TO BRIGHTEN THE HOME OR A GLAD-RAG TO DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY ...A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING...WHERE RESIDENT AND TOURIST WALK ELBOW TO ELBOW...AND SEASONAL SIDEWALK ENTERTAINMENT TO TOP...

Pros: VARIETY OF FOOD, SHOP, HISTORIC VALUE, CONVENIENT HOURS

Cons: FEW TOILETS, MODERATELY COSTLY, NO PARKING,TRANSPORT

2 Star Rating: Below Average

Boston has always been 'the biggest small town in America'. Faneul Hall Marketplace epitomizes this small-town flavor

Pros: great selections, great venues, easy access

Cons: no parking, sometimes crowded, often overpriced

4 Star Rating: Recommended

Faneuil Hall is a great place for all ages. I've taken my 5 year old niece, teenaged cousins and not so teenaged people. We take the T which is so convenient - that's half the fun. Always a variety of foods to try and there is usually some type of street corner entertainment to enjoy for those not interested in shopping.

How do you tell one is a tourist in Boston? When one refers to Faneuil Hall as "Quincy Market." It gets EXTREMELY crowded from May - August, especially during weekends. One sticks out amongst the crowd here if they DON'T have either a camera/camcorder, map/tour guide, a sticker indicating that they are part of a tour group, or wearing some sort of souvenir hat/t-shirt/sweatshirt. Keep an eye out, too, on the hordes of school-age children running all over the place w/ their school groups on field trips. Other than that, it's a great attraction for out-of-towners, but for someone who has lived in the city for the past 10 years, it's a place I only go to when I am entertaining out-of-town guests.

Pros: Group-friendly, Good for kids, Fun atmosphere

Cons: Overcrowded, Too touristy

Editor's Review

The site of John F. Kennedy's last campaign speech is an important mark on the Freedom Trail.  See the full editorial review.
