Downtown Neighborhood Overview

Downtown Boston is the city’s historic core and commercial heart, blending centuries of history with a constantly evolving skyline. From the cobblestone streets of the Freedom Trail to the gleaming towers of the Financial District, Downtown captures the essence of Boston as both one of America’s oldest cities and a modern hub of commerce and culture.

The neighborhood is home to some of Boston’s most recognized landmarks, including Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, Boston Common, and City Hall. This mix of historic meeting houses and contemporary architecture creates an atmosphere where the past and present intersect at every corner.
