Located in downtown Boston, steps away from the waterfront, Faneuil Hall is alive today as it was in 1742, when our nation’s fathers proclaimed it “The Cradle of Liberty.” For 280 years, Faneuil Hall has been a prominent meeting location for residents and visitors to Boston and a central point of commerce for the city.
Today, Faneuil Hall Marketplace is one of the top 10 tourist destinations in the country and is at the top of the list of places to visit in Boston. Over 80 retailers occupy 200,000+ square feet of retail space in the iconic mixed-use festival marketplace that includes Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, North Market, and South Market. Quincy Market, in particular, is known for its vibrant food hall offering a wide variety of eateries, from seafood and Italian cuisine to Boston specialties like clam chowder and lobster rolls. The cobblestone promenades are filled with music from local street performers, making them a lively destination for shopping and entertainment.
Faneuil Hall hosts various events and festivals throughout the year, including holiday celebrations, cultural festivals, and outdoor concerts. The Fourth of July festivities, including concerts and fireworks, are particularly popular and draw large crowds to the area.
Faneuil Hall offers visitor services, including guided tours of the historic building and the surrounding area. Information desks provide maps, brochures, and assistance with planning activities in Boston.
