Boston Haymarket

Visit Haymarket

If you're looking for somewhere to go after you finish your last final, why not explore Haymarket, Boston's historic open air market? Haymarket, which was opened in 1830, is an open-air fruit-and-vegetable market located in downtown Boston near Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market. With the beautiful weather and Haymarket's college-friendly prices, there are few reasons not to visit this Boston landmark.

Stands

The stands of Haymarket push right up to surrounding Middle Eastern shops and fisheries, creating a loud, crowded, and lively environment.

Child in Basket

Fruits

Fish

These red snappers lie in a 2.5-foot by 10-foot vat of ice, waiting for frugal shoppers to purchase them.
