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.

Large, upscale, slightly eclectic marketplace that includes Quincy Market (the food-space) and a variety of clothes and other assorted items. Some of the wares are pretty pricey, as this is a prime tourist destination, but it's also enjoyable to wander the stores and window-shop. It gets really busy during mealtimes and weekends, so plan accordingly.

Came here with our 8 month old for lunch on our way back to the parking garage, at the end of the Freedom Trail. We loved just walking around! Fun place, lots of shops and people, good for the experience. We ended up eating inside Quincy Market and loved the food (Kong Dogs). Would come back and try something else or eat there again!

One of the best centerpieces of historical Boston is the section known as Faneuil Hall Marketplace. There are several rows of buildings. Many shops and eateries are located here. It is a great place to also find souvenirs. It is located along the red brick Freedom trail and between Boston Commons and the North End. The main building is a long hall with many eateries located on each side. There is little or no seating at each of these eateries. Patrons will usually find a table at the center dome area or upstairs in that same area. Some will take their food outside to eat at one of the benches on a good weather day. Along the hall are covered wings on each side. This is the area where you will find T-shirts, cups, shot glasses and other souvenir’s. The other two bordering buildings have numerous shops, hot sauces, and ice cream. In the plaza area, the Sameul Adams Taproom can also be located. At one end of the main hall is Ned Devine’s. When visiting traditional Boston this is the hangout to find students, tourists, and people in historical outfits providing information on the area. Don’t miss this place.

Walked through twice while visiting Boston. We walked through on our own time, and not in a tour setting, so I’m sure there was some interesting history to learn. So not having any historical background about the area, it was sort of neat to walk through, but felt there were a lot of things there that made it unauthentic. Overpriced food, street performances that didn’t really match the historical significance of the area, a dinosaur exhibit, huge Sephora store and high end shops - tourist friendly enough, but really took away from the cultural signature of the space. But entertaining enough as a tourist.

Really neat place to do some shopping for authentic Boston goods. The whole atmosphere surrounding Faneuil and Quincy is incredible. We were there close to Halloween so the college folks were out in full force hitting the bars. During the day, there was also an outside market across the street with locals vending their goods, some live music, and more atmosphere. I made sure to get my "wicked smaht" t-shirt from a vendor in Faneuil. Don't worry, someone will teach you how to properly pronounce the name of the hall.

Great mixture of shops and market stall carts. Food section all together which makes it busy but at least you’re not searching for where things are, and a wide variety of food options. The buskers/performers were top class. Could do with better signage for the toilets though.

Very nice place lots of choices to eat .the price is not cheap but reasonable. Boston is famous for food and for sea food. We had lobster roll ( for first time)which was very delicious and clam chowder soup there. This place is a must see in boston and if you follow freedom trail you will catch it.

It's kind of like going to the mall. The central part is basically a giant food court with a big selection of things. We were there mid/late afternoon and it was mostly kids who were probably just out of school. To me, it's not really significant to the Freedom Trail but it is nice place to walk around and shop. The property was donated and named after merchant Peter Faneuil back in the 1740s.

If you can’t find something to eat here, you’re not hungry. Seafood, Asian, healthy, hotdogs, baked goods, gelato, juice bar, Greek, etc. Although the place definitely caters to tourists, pricing is about what you’d find anywhere else.
