In summer, kids can splash in the wading pool; in winter, it transforms into a picturesque ice-skating rink. Surrounded by the greenery of the Common, it’s a fun and classic Boston experience year-round.
A Boston landmark since the 1700s, Faneuil Hall is now a lively marketplace filled with shops, restaurants, and street performers.
