Faneuil Hall Marketplace
Why locals love it
History buffs will love this historic meeting hall and urban marketplace near Boston's waterfront. Since 1742, Faneuil Hall has been a beacon of colonial American history. Where once, Sam Adams and his comrades stood and gave speeches about independence from Great Britain, now is a bustling epicenter for tourists and artisans.
