Downtown Crossing
About
Downtown Crossing is a pedestrian shopping district at the intersection of Summer and Washington Streets in downtown Boston. More than 200 retailers operate in the area, where shoppers browse for Boston keepsakes, one-of-a-kind gifts and the latest fashions. The mix ranges from trendy, popular brands to independent bookstores, jewelers and self-care spots, so the district works for shopping for oneself as well as for picking up gifts for friends and family.
Because the core streets form a pedestrian mall, shoppers can walk from store to store without dealing with car traffic. The district sits in the heart of downtown, next to Boston Common, and the Freedom Trail passes nearby, so a shopping trip can easily be combined with sightseeing. The surrounding downtown area also offers dining, events and historical sites for visitors who want to make a day of it.
