Quincy Market

Adjacent to the original market, Quincy Market was built in the 1800’s atop a landfill that was previously part of the harbor. Built to create extra shopping space for Boston’s citizens, Quincy Market is a spacious, two—story commercial center. In addition to shopping and eating, the market is a great place to people watch. Tourists, locals, mimes, vendors and workers do the same thing they did hundreds of years ago in one of the nation’s first marketplaces. The most visited tourist destination in Boston, the Quincy Market is a must—see destination on your Boston trip. While you’re at the market, don’t forget to try the clam chowder in a bread bowl— it’s an authentic New England delicacy.
