In one of the oldest parts of Boston, the Faneuil Hall Marketplace stands as a testament to the merchants and shoppers who have gathered here for almost four hundred years. One of Boston’s favorite attractions for locals and tourists alike, the Marketplace is an eclectic mix of both independent shops and upscale chains, restaurants, and entertainment venues.
