Mount Auburn Cemetery

If you are okay with hanging out in a cemetery (and going a bit out of your way) this is my favorite place in Cambridge!! I used to spend hours walking in here. Beautiful landscaping, great birdwatching (and other creatures too), and it's been around since 1831/has some famous graves. Some parts really feel like walking in the woods, and there are all these hidden places. And this gorgeous tower that feels very gothic novel to me. It's also right by Sofra, which is a really nice café.
