The Faneuil Hall Marketplace is housed in historic old buildings including the market hall and old town hall. In today's times, Quincy Market is food hall with quick serve vendors, and is surrounded by plenty of shops, both touristy and modern, big name stores, and some restaurants. There's a beautiful dome ceiling, so don't forget to look up. The plaza itself is very pretty with its cobblestones and lighted trees, especially in winter. There's also often street performers putting on a show in the plaza.
