Yale University Old Campus

Highlight • Historical Site

The old campus of Yale University in New Haven is one of the most impressive historic university ensembles in the United States. Since 1718, it has dominated the cityscape – with its Gothic facades, shady courtyards, and venerable libraries. Originally founded as a theological institution, Yale quickly developed into a center for the humanities and natural sciences. Today, the "Old Campus" is not only an architectural centerpiece, but also a vibrant center of student life – characterized by centuries-old traditions and intellectual exchange.

Wooster Square

Highlight • Settlement

Wooster Square is a historic neighborhood east of downtown that, although it's named for a Revolutionary War hero David Wooster, is more famous today as the Little Italy of New Haven. This is a great place to explore and eat some excellent food; some of the best known pizza eateries in the state (and country) are here.
