Faneuil Hall & Quincy Market

7.4Locals Score / 10

#5 of 8 Markets & Food Halls in Boston

free
Known forhistoricfreemarketplacecentral

A historic 1742 meeting hall paired with the bustling Quincy Market food hall, ringed by shops and street performers. It's free to wander and a fun spot to grab a bite. Locals consider it a tourist trap and the food is mediocre and overpriced, but the setting and history are genuine.
