I did the Freedom Trail walk yesterday and got a couple of shots I thought were decent.

This vendor made me laught. He was tired of people asking for a discount so he turns around and yells at everyone walking by, customer or not, and shouts in his Bostonian accent "Comon people, 3 dahllas, 3 dahllas!"

That's not Quincy Market a.k.a. Fanueil Hall Market Place. That's Haymarket Square. Quincy market is across the street from there.

Yes, lots of great photo ops there inside and out. Also, you'll want to visit the Boston Common and the Public Gardens they are right next to each other and the great cobblestone narrow streets that surround the area called Beacon Hill, which is where the State House is and directly behind the Boston Common.

Also, I was born and lived there for the first 40+ years of my life. If you are interested in getting some pics of the Boston skyline then you need to go to East Boston, which is the part of Boston where Logan Airport is. Any taxi driver will take you there.

Best spots are from Sumner Street, by the Maverick Housing Projects, where the skyline will present it's self accross a narrow stretch of Boston Harbor or Marginal Street where there is a large park, which also gives you a fantastic view of the skyline.

If you want a daytime shot of the skyline then you need to be at those spots at first light when the sun is hitting in that direction. I hope this helps you out, Enjoy your stay.
