Cambridge

The Charles River defines the setting of Cambridge — its broad bend separates the city from Boston and gives university neighborhoods a waterfront edge. Harvard Square is a busy academic and civic center beside Harvard University, founded in 1636 and the oldest institution of higher education in the United States. Across Cambridge, brick streets, libraries and laboratories reflect the presence of Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, whose main campus follows the river farther southeast. Independent bookshops, theatres and restaurants help make the square a longstanding meeting point and transit hub.
