Harvard University, founded in 1636, is an iconic institution located in Cambridge.

Its sprawling campus boasts historic architecture, lush gardens, and world-class facilities. Harvard Yard, at its heart, is a gathering place for scholars and a testament to the university's storied past.

If you're ever in Boston, it's worth taking a short detour to the Harvard University campus, which is famous from many teen films, and feeling like a real elite student for once in your life.

The campus is an open space but you should join a tour for detail information of university. Please do not miss the Main Hall. Walk also over the bridge down to Boston and see Harvard Business School.
