Faneil Hall Marketplace
If you're planning to eat there my advice is to skip the more touristy spots. Try the food stalls in the Quincy Market – way better value and flavors.
I recommend checking out the street performers. They’re really talented and it’s a great way to soak up the vibe of the marketplace while resting your feet.
bring a water bottle! there are plenty of places to refill, and trust me, buying drinks there adds up quickly, especially on a hot day.
Harvard Square
Don't miss the Harvard Art Museums. Admission is only $15, and on Saturday mornings, you can pay just what you can! I loved the art and left feeling inspired without breaking the bank.
Boston Public Market
I highly suggest checking out the rotating vendors. They have some of the best fresh produce and unique snacks! I tried something new, and it totally made my day.
I recommend bringing a reusable bag! Some vendors offer discounts for using them, and it's just better for the environment. Plus, you'll need something for all those goodies you'll want to buy!
If you're planning to grab a bite, avoid lunchtime rush around 12-1 PM. I waited forever to get my food. Aim for around 11, it's way less crowded!
Quincy Market
My advice is to try a few small bites from different stalls instead of committing to one big meal. I loved sampling various dishes, and it keeps things interesting!
If you want to enjoy some live music or performances, check the schedule. I discovered a great band by chance! But, I'd recommend looking it up ahead of time
I think grabbing a drink from one of the bars inside could save you some cash. The food prices can add up quickly, and it helps to budget a bit.
Trinity Church
I recommend visiting around noon when the light shines through the stained glass beautifully. It's perfect for photos! Plus, you might catch a brief choir rehearsal, which is a nice surprise.
Old State House
i suggest getting there right when it opens at 10 am... it gets pretty crowded later, and you won't have to deal with long lines or noisy groups... plus, you'll have more time to soak in the exhibits!
