Downtown Crossing: The Official Shopping Area of Boston
  • Tip Rating:
  • Name of Shop: Downtown Crossing

    Downtown Crossing is the name given to the main shopping area in downtown Boston. Walking the streets of Downtown Crossing you will come across shops old and new, big and small. Macy's, Filene's Basement, H&M, Marshall's, TJ Maxx, the Boston Jewelry Exchange and more can be found in this area.

    Always a bustling and lively scene, Downtown Crossing is a great place to spend a weekend day shopping, browsing, buying roasted peanuts and cashews or a quick lunch from the pushcart vendors and watching street performers while enjoying a day outdoors.

    There isn't much you can't find in this area and it is certainly the place in Boston to come to to burn a hole in your pocket.

    Downtown Crossing is a close, quick walk from both Chinatown and the Boston Common as well!
