I know many reviewers said this is a tourist trap, but so is times square. but that's the point - a place you have to see when visiting a new city. I am from south of boston, but I always visit faneuil hall/quincy marketplace when in town. It is the heart of the city - perfect for people watching and... more

Most of the area is deffinately a tourist trap (quincy market, faneuil marketplace...) with expensive shops and street preformers, but if you take the time to actually go up to the meeting hall at faneuil, you won't be dissapointed. The hall itself has an interesting history and is in very good condition with some outstanding historic artworks. While we were... more

If you need to buy an overpriced souvenir or to go shopping then you will be happy with the place. If you want a taste of the real Boston then don't waste your time. Overpriced restaurants, souvenirs and hordes of tourists abound. more

I've lived in Boston for many many years but I never recommend Faneuil Hall which is pretty much a mall, squeezed into some historic buildings.

Quincy market is a must to visit when in Boston. So much deliciuos food your spoiled for choice and just want to eat everything you see which I did. So be prepared to come out a few pounds heavier. more

Except for a different selection of stores and the addition of another Cheers pub the place hasn't really changed. It's a great place to explore, shop, relax, eat or just people watch. This is probably the best place you can search for souvenirs.... more

This was the highlite of Boston. Great food hall and the lobster rolls are to die for. We were disappointed with Boston as a whole it had no buzz whatsoever and the bus tour was hop on hop off but it kept forgetting to stop at some stops and at others it would not pick us up so we spent... more

While walking the Freedom Trail on Tues, July 17, my sister and I stopped at Faneuil Hall Marketplace. We are not shoppers so just window shopped. We then decided to stay for lunch considering all the places to eat. The food was ok and seating was almost non-existent though we were able to find a place upstairs. Don’t get dessert... more

My friend and I visted Boston last week and we went in this area almost everyday! We loved it! It was a lot of fun, with a lot of cute shops, good and mostly cheap food, and entertainment. more
