Experience an excursion in Harvard Square, a commercial and recreational center for Harvard students, city residents and visitors. Along with being a hub for arts and entertainment, and home to a number of attractions, shops, eateries, and places to stay, The Square is also a historically significant location. It was here that George Washington took command of the Continental Army, it is where the first printing press in America was located, and it has also been the grounds for many student protests – among many, many other things.

The Charles River Esplanade stretches along three miles of the beautiful Charles River and surrounding attractions. This spot is perfect for relaxating outdoors and enjoying a picnic, fishing, taking a gondola ride, or just sprawling out on a blanket and watching the river roll by. There are also several scheduled events here like fitness classes and festivals.

Spend an evening enjoying the sounds of the symphony and attend a performance by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Scheduled performances bring renown classical music pieces to life, including works by composers like Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Strauss, Stravinsky, Debussy and many others. For a special treat, see if there's a tour of Boston Symphony Hall scheduled before the performance you want to see.
