Cambridge, Boston's sister city of sorts, lies just across the river, but maintains a charm all of its own. Cambridge serves as an intellectual and cultural center for the greater Boston area, home of Harvard, MIT, and numerous arenas of culture.

Dominated by two of the most well-known universities around, Cambridge, MA has made a name for itself as a liberal bastion. With street buskers and panhandlers lining the streets of Harvard Square and Central Square, it is also a place of great economic and social contrast. While some areas have been deemed over-touristed (like Harvard Square), others remain calm, quiet, and charming residential areas, home to proud Cantabrigians (also known as Cantabs).
