If you love to walk, run or ride a bicycle, te Charles River is a great place to visit. You can watch boats sail by or just people watch. Great for picnics. You can walk to Boston from Cambridge and back.

Difficult to describe a frozen river in 100 words. Some of the bridges are nice, they have plates on them with few explanations. The walk alongside the river is pleasant.

Took a walk from the micro center parking lot across the BU bridge and back around. There are always joggers and walkers and overall a pretty safe place for a walk. Check out the views at sunrise and sunset if you are looking to take...More

We stayed at the Royal Sonesta with sweeping views of the Charles it's bustling boat and pedestrian activity. The reflection of the city of Boston on it's calm waters at night is warm and welcoming.

Peaceful solitude on a Fec day. Jogging trails, boating, fishing are all here for the warmer weather

The Charles River divides Cambridge from Boston and is a great river to walk, jog or bike along for almost any season. I've even thrown boulders on the ice covered river in winter! you can explore the city on either side of the river.

I really enjoyed starring at the river from our tour bus the entire week we were in Boston. The kayaks and boats floating around as well as the rowing boats was pretty neat.
