The Anderson Memorial Bridge, often mistaken as the Larz Anderson Bridge, connects Boston's Allston neighborhood to Cambridge. Built on the site of the 1662 Great Bridge, the bridge was rebuilt in 1915 and was the first to span the Charles River. Since 2006, the Charles River Conservancy has pushed for pedestrian and bicycle underpasses on the Boston side of the Anderson Memorial, Western Avenue, and River Street Bridges, aiming to create a 7-mile uninterrupted, car-free corridor along the Charles River.

Harvard Business School

Highlight • Structure

The university is considered to be the most prestigious education in the field of business. Less than 1,000 students complete the course each year, and 99.5% complete it successfully.

Harvard Stadium

Highlight • Monument

A massive building that is somewhat reminiscent of the Roman Colosseum. The dimensions are truly impressive for a university sports facility.

Harvard Square

Highlight • Settlement

This little plaza sits under the watchful gaze of one of the most prestigious universities in the world. If you don't want to take one of the (many) walking tours available here, you can do a pretty good job of exploring on your own with the help of the many historic/interpretive plaques around the plaza.

Harvard University (Harvard Yard)

Highlight • Historical Site

Sumptuous grounds in the heart of Harvard

Harvard Memorial Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Another one of (too) many churches. The architecture is rather unremarkable. If you're going to see a church, check out the nearby Old Cambridge Baptist Church!
