Top 8 Churches & Cathedrals in Cambridge, Massachusetts (MA)

January 23, 2022 Layne Dawes

Home to two of America's most prestigious universities, Cambridge exudes a certain intellectual quirkiness. A mix of historical haunts, student hang-outs, alternative art and culture venues, vintage clothing shops, bookstores and ethnic restaurants, the city is, well, really cool. Although it is located just across the Charles River from Boston, Cambridge has a distinct vibe that is noticeable immediately. Start at Harvard Square, a hub of activity and mishmash of trendy stores, outdoor cafes and colorful local characters. Pick up a walking tour map at the visitors information booth in the center of the Square. The route will take you past many important landmarks including the Mount Auburn Cemetery, Tory Row and the Longfellow National Historic Site. Harvard University offers student-led tours through the illustrious buildings and monuments of its sprawling campus. Art and architecture buffs should meander around the M.I.T campus, which includes outdoor sculptures by masters such as Picasso and 20th-century buildings designed by modern greats like Eero Saarinen and I. M. Pei. Along the way, browse through bookstores, stop to watch street performers and grab a coffee at an outdoor café to take in all this captivating city has to offer.

Reviewed By Pjs031429 - Boston, United States

This gem along the Charles river is perfect for a day or 2 of quiet time to reflect, think, pray, etc. The rooms are comfortable, bathrooms at end of hall are clean, and plenty of places to sit quietly ( church, chapel or library). Take in one of the services and listen to the monks chant. Perfect place to stop and simply be still.
