Peters Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the final stretch, you'll have to turn off the road onto the small path and tackle the final climb to the summit. Then, a wonderful view of the city skyline opens up.

Harvard University's Great Botanical Garden is located on and around three hills, with the highest, Peters Hill, offering a particularly beautiful view of the city skyline. And botany enthusiasts can, of course, spend days here, admiring the sheer number of exotic plants.

Jamaica Pond

Highlight • Lake

The lake is beautifully framed by mature trees and even has a boathouse for rowers and sailors. The entire approach to the arboretum is so picturesque that you almost forget you're in the middle of a big city.

Leverett Pond

Highlight • Lake

Jamaica Pond's little brother. Smaller, but much more natural, nestled in the middle of the forest, framed by beautiful bike paths. It's a pleasure to cycle here...
