As the oldest college in the U.S. (est. 1636) -- and as the university with the largest financial endowment in the world ($32 billion) -- it’s no surprise that Harvard’s campus offers tons to see, do, and explore: from the bars and restaurants in Harvard Square to one of the oldest anthropology museums in the world ($9 admission). After touring the library (the oldest and among the most extensive in the U.S.), visit the former home of poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (free), and sit by the Charles River and watch the rowing teams glide by.
