    Hiking

    The old campus of Yale University in New Haven is one of the most impressive historic university ensembles in the United States. Since 1718, it has dominated the cityscape – with its Gothic facades, shady courtyards, and venerable libraries. Originally founded as a theological institution, Yale quickly developed into a center for the humanities and natural sciences. Today, the "Old Campus" is not only an architectural centerpiece, but also a vibrant center of student life – characterized by centuries-old traditions and intellectual exchange.

    Hiking

    Yale University is a world-famous Ivy League university. Founded in 1701, Yale is the third-oldest institution of higher education in the United States. The campus is in the heart of downtown New Haven and a beautiful place to walk around and explore. Please be respectful of students and faculty as you marvel at the historic buildings and wander through the grassy quads and courts.
