If you 're in Boston, you'll probably spend some time on Newbury Street. If you have an extra hour to spend, it's worth walking from there to Cambridge. At the end of Newbury, where it meets Massachusetts Ave, turn left and go North towards Cambridge. Walking along the Mass Ave bridge to reach Cambridge is a beautiful experience. Especially in the spring or summer, when you'll see people sailing on the river.
The view from the bridge is breathtaking. From there, if you look back you can see Beacon Hill, Back Bay, and Kenmore, and on the North side of the river you can see Cambridge (you'll definitely recognize MIT). It's a walk you really must take. Leave a Comment

When classes start, in September or in January, visit one of the bookstores in Cambridge, such as the Harvard Coop in Harvard Square.
Harvard Square is always crowded, but that time of year it's especially busy with young students trying to get familiar with their new neighborhood. It's a completely different atmosphere; you can feel the energy and the young "spirit" in the air. Leave a Comment

A quick T ride over the Charles River brings you to Cambridge, most famous as home to Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Cambridge also played a role in the early days of the American Revolution. After the battle of Lexington and Concord, the British soldiers retreated to Boston, with their route taking them along present-day Mass Ave in northwestern Cambridge. Later, George Washington assumed command of the Continental Army at Cambridge Common.
Today, Harvard has banned the Reserve Officer's Training Corps from the campus -- in effect denying them the same grounds where George Washington established the tradition of America's proud and able military.
Harvard Square, the area adjacent to the Harvard Campus, is one of the Boston area's better nightlife areas. For a good microbrew, I prefer John Harvard's, while the Border Cafe offers great Mexican food in a relaxed environment. Leave a Comment

You must go to Cambridge. On the other side of the Charles River!!
Cambridge is famous for its universities as Harvard and the MIT. Go to the Harvard university and ask for a guided tour. There are students who show you Harvard and tell you somehting about it. Very intersting and impressive...
Also Cambridge is very beautiful. In the summer time you will find a lot of street artist, also cinemas and stores are everywhere to find and if you have time be there for the football game harvard vs. yale.. it's a huge party!!

Don't forget Boston's sister city across the Charles River. Cambridge is home to world-reknown institutions of learning such as Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Notable also are the bohemian and multicultural characteristics that make Cambridge stand out as Boston's rive gauche. bustling, intellectual Harvard Square and qually busy and multicultural Central Square embody the city's desirable qualities, while Kendall Square is the showcase for the regional high-tech economy. Please see my fully-detailed Cambridge page on VT for a more complete overview of this not-to-miss city that is an unseverable part of Boston, and just a few short stops away on the T.

Forget the Museum of Science it’s expensive and crowded and probably not that different from the Science Museums you have all ready been too.
The MIT museum is located not far from the central Sq. T stop in Cambridge. While not that big it has interesting exhibits on Holograms, Famous pranks committed by MIT students, Artificial intelligence and some very cool interactive artwork. After you are done you can check out the new MIT building by Architect Frank Gehry (of Guggenheim/Bibao Fame).
After all this high quality squidly geekdom at MIT. You may have worked up an appetite, walk down to Central Sq. The Middle East has decent ..middle eastern food and is rock n roll central for Boston. (check out the great mural on the side of the building) My favorite place to eat thought, is the Brookline Lunch. A small reasonably priced kind of artsy cafe with great breakfasts and lunches (they are closed for dinner). Central Sq. also has some interesting used book stores, crafts stores and lots of indian food. Leave a Comment

No trip to Boston is complete without a visit to the twin towers of academia: Harvard and MIT. Both campuses are easily accessible by the Red Line "T" but if you are pressed for time and can only see one of them, make it Harvard. Unlike MIT, which can sometimes border on dreary, Harvard's gorgeous campus lives up to the stereotype of ivy-covered walls and sophisticated architecture. The adjacent downtown area also boasts a myriad of independent bookstores, cafes, and street entertainment.
