While this is part of the Freedom trail except for the statue of Sam Adams out front it is mainly shops and food stands. The first building does have a National Park Service Kiosk with some maps and pamphlets and mainly stores. The second building is mainly restaurants.

My husband and I visited Boston for a short holiday getaway, and all of the "Boston musts" lists included Fanueil Hall Marketplace (also referred to as Quincy Market). It's a nice way to get acquainted to the city. We stopped here for a quick bite. I highly recommend Boston and Maine Lobster Company. He ordered the cold lobster roll, and I hate the warm butter lobster roll. Plus the Clam Chowder. If you don't mind dropping $80 on lunch for two, it's a nice little splurge. Inside the marketplace, in addition to fast food, you'll find small/local artisan shops. Some are smelling souvenirs and Boston sports paraphernalia. Highly recommend!

Maybe mid-March isn’t the time to visit, but this felt kind of half open and not quite complete. Lots of food outlets with interesting options with all the usual Bostonian favourites - but not much else to see or do (at this stage). Beautiful setting and with lots of potential.

For a building that I would guess is at least 800 feet long, it is laid out from one end to the other with fantastic food vendors. Whether you are looking for fresh seafood, chicken, baked goods, Chinese food, gelato, ice cream, Italian, or a Philly cheesesteak sandwich, this is the place to go. With bright lights and colorful displays, it's a celebratory atmosphere. You could spend days sampling each vendor and not be able to cover them all. GO! Don't deny yourself the pleasure and fun of this unique market!! If you found this review helpful, please tap the thumbs up to let me know. Thanks!

Wasn’t at all what I expected but, nevertheless, I enjoyed the visit. A definite gathering place with street performers and a marketplace filled with every type of food imaginable. But, the New England specialty hot buttered lobster roll seemed to be a big hit. In addition, there are lots of cart vendors and boutiques surrounding Quincy Market for some abbreviated retail therapy, so there’s something for the whole family. We were there on Memorial Day weekend and it was packed.

Visited the area while on the Freedom Trail and again in the evening. Lots of good food on offer in Quincy Market and worth going to Samuel Adams bar in the evening. Area has a great atmosphere.

Faneuil Hall….. It’s definitely worth it to see and go to. It’s at the end of the Freedom Trail. You’ll spend no more than 30 minutes inside. The architecture is amazing. The inside is a small museum with a few exhibits and independent vendors. Downstairs has a roving unique exhibit each month…. which was interesting to see and watch. Unfortunately, aside from its special place in history, it was kind of underwhelming.

Great place to eat. Great variety of different food especially seafood. Lot of places to shop for souvenirs. Go in the late afternoon when it is not to crowded. There are also. A lot of performers!

Very crowded and lots of high end stores. We had lunch at the MM Mac and Cheese and it was very good but expensive. 3 bowls of mac & cheese and 3 waters was USD $60. Very little indoor seating and we ended up sitting outside on a step to eat. Fun to people watch a bit of a pain to eat a bowl of food. It was nice to see all of the history but walking is a bit of challenge as there is uneven cobblestone sidewalks.

The building itself is worth seeing. The architecture is beautiful and the great hall upstairs reminds me of the scene in the Patriot where they were debating on whether to go to war with England. To think what has taken place in that room over the last 200 plus years brought me a sense of reverence and I’m not American! Also good to know this a place that has public restrooms which is always good to know for all the walking you do in this city.
