Colonial history runs deep in one of the country’s oldest cities

Historic Waterfront City Parks Shopping Museums

With waterfront views of the channels streaming from the Massachusetts Bay, Boston’s Financial District is a historic part of Downtown that mixes the old and the new. From the Old State House and the site of the Boston Massacre and the Old Meeting House where colonists met, resulting in the Boston Tea Party, the Financial District is full of historical significance.

Enjoy local treasures like the Boston Harbor Islands National State Park, Post Office Square, and quaint businesses like Mr. Dooley’s classic Irish pub. The Fanueil Hall Marketplace is one of this neighborhood’s shining stars as the largest outdoor shopping center in this part of town. Restaurants, retailers, and markets galore reside in historic market buildings, along with various quirky vendors along South and North Market Streets. Commuting in an urban area such as this is a breeze, especially with the Haymarket, Government Center, and various other subway stations at your service.
