What to expect

Dive into the heart of Harvard University in Cambridge with a self-guided, app-based walking tour.

This tour starts with a visit to the beautiful Johnston Gate. You will hear about the strange superstition which surrounds it before moving on to the most expensive building at Harvard. Here’s a hint: it’s not what you think!

Next, stride back in time as you cross the Old Yard itself and get a crash course in Harvard’s 1600s origins and history. You'll then move on to see a statue of John Harvard himself and then the Harvard Science Center, where you can glimpse the high-tech classrooms where students like Gates and Zuckerberg would have spent most of their time.

You’ll also get a chance to see the awe-inspiring Memorial Church and stand right in the spot where countless famous names from Oprah to Bill Clinton have stood. Then it’s off to the Widener Library, home to 3.5 million books and even more history.

To finish the tour, visit the dorms where so many famous figures have lived, studied, and built the foundations of great things.
