| Cambridge is the spirited, slightly mischievous side of Boston, located just a bridge away on the other side of the Charles River. Packed with international flair and a youthful vitality, Cambridge is a city where counter-culture still lives, classic culture thrives, and multicultural is a way of life. |

With residents drawn from around the globe, Cambridge has a multicultural atmosphere and a dynamic energy uniquely its own. Whether in its many music clubs or on its streets, you are as likely to hear a violin concerto, lilting Andean pipes, the rhythm of steel drums or the pulse of a jazz solo.
Each October, crowds fill the banks of the Charles River as thousands of international rowers compete in the renowned Head of the Charles Regatta. For those less hardy, one can always watch rowers prepare for the rigors of competition while strolling or biking along the river. See Art + Entertainment |
