Shopping in Waltham Massachusetts Shopping in Waltham Massachusetts

Sure, Waltham is the Gateway to History. But it's also the gateway to great shopping! Fine antique shops. Exotic hardware stores. Eclectic ethnic emporiums. Waltham has just about everything you're looking for- plus lots of things you never knew existed but just can't live without!

Take a stroll along the Moody and Main street Retail District, a throwback to the golden days of downtown shopping areas. Located in the city's heart near the Charles River, Moody and Main Streets were for years the hub of activity for residents and visitors of all ages. In its heyday, the area was bustling with ornate theaters, department stores, soda fountains, and emporiums to suit any need.

Today, the district is a revitalized city center which harks back to the good old days. As you browse the diverse stores, you may notice your taste buds beginning to tingle. That's because the Moody/Main district is also a cosmpolitan "Restaurant Row," with countless opportunities for ethnic, upscale, downscale and good old American cuisine. Make sure you time your shopping around lunch or dinner- you won't regret or forget it.

Please call ahead to verify hours and details. All addresses are in Waltham unless otherwise noted.
