  • The Best of NileGuide
  • You have to be a genius to know that Harvard Square is a classic place to visit during your trip to Boston. There are plenty of things to do in Harvard Square that don't involve homework, so put on your walking shoes and get ready to see the sights.

    First, do the right thing and check out the school itself. Beautiful grounds, historical buildings, and brainiacs at work surround you as you step on the campus. Places like the Harvard Book Store, the Harvard Art Museums, and the Museum of Natural History are all quintessential areas to soak up the culture.

    For more fun activities, take a stroll by the Charles River Esplanade by day, have dinner at Charley's Eating and Drinking Saloon, and dance the night away at the Hong Kong.
