Fun to walk across even in the cold and rain. Look for the gold dome of the state house. Great views !

Kyle James

On a nice day it's the best view of Boston . Walk across (recommended) on the side near the Museum of Science for less traffic and wider sidewalk. Of course the other side has the better view .

The Viking statues were commissioned by Eben Horsford, a Harvard professor who believed Vikings colonized Boston 500 years before the Puritans. He also invented baking powder.

The best view on the northern section of the Red Line . Actually the only view as the entire run other than this is underground.

The speed limit is 30. Trust me. Or don't; the Staties will inform you when they pull you over in Cambridge.

Neglect left this bridge a mess. The bridges in the EU are all in better shape. You get what you pay for.... think about it america.

It's true, there's a great view from this bridge , but I think the Mass Ave bridge is better
