Places to Stay in Harvard Square

Beautiful and historic Harvard Square is the lively hub of Cambridge, Massachusetts. A great place for dining, shopping, clubbing, or taking in the historic ambiance of the city, Harvard Square is a terrific place to visit and bring the family.

Boasting Harvard University, and an overall Ivy League feel, Harvard Square is a bustle night and day with musicians, jugglers, puppeteers, magicians, and street performers of every imaginable variety. Located along the MBTA (Subway) Red Line, Harvard Square is convenient to Boston, just across the River. Wander through the streets, or watch the Harvard Crew Team rowing on the Charles. Dine on sushi, Indian food, Thai, French, Mexican, American, or anything you crave in one of the scores of restaurants in the Square or within a short walk. A walking tour of Harvard University is available, or you can casually stroll through the grounds on your own. The calendar of events taking place in Harvard Square is impressive, including the annual Head of the Charles Regatta. You can take in a show at the American Repertory Theatre, or toast your visit in one of the many pubs.

With easy access to Boston, Harvard Square is an excellent starting point for your visit to New England. Other attractions are just a short drive away. Plymouth Rock is just forty five minutes south, and the witchy Salem, Massachusetts is about one hour to the north. Lighthouse tours are also popular, particularly during the fall when the leaves are changing.
