Cambridge's landmarks reflect its dual identity as a historic New England city and a center of global innovation. Harvard Yard is one of the most photographed college campuses in the world. MIT's Stata Center, designed by Frank Gehry, is one of the most striking buildings in Boston's metropolitan area.
Insider Tip: Visit MIT's Infinite Corridor on "MIThenge" — twice a year (late January and mid-November), the setting sun aligns perfectly with the 825-foot hallway.
