A 1740s market hall and meeting place nicknamed the 'Cradle of Liberty,' now anchoring the Faneuil Hall Marketplace of shops, food stalls, and street performers.
Know before you go
- The market hall itself is free to enter and still hosts public meetings and events on the upper floor.
- Quincy Market behind it is the spot for a quick lunch: a long hall of food stalls covering just about every cuisine.
- Street performers work the cobblestone plaza outside most afternoons: genuinely good, not just tourist-trap acts.
- It's an easy stop on the Freedom Trail, a few minutes' walk from City Hall and the North End.
