Cambridge Office for Tourism

The Cambridge Office for Tourism is the city’s destination marketing organization, responsible for promoting Cambridge to visitors and handling public relations and visitor services. Its trip planning resources cover restaurants, events, nightlife and fall festivals, along with seasonal guides and itinerary ideas. The office highlights the city’s history, from the places George Washington stayed to the invention of the Polaroid, alongside its music scene and inventive dining.

Its staff run the Visitor Information Center in Harvard Square, a recommended first stop for anyone arriving in the city. The office also helps visitors get to Cambridge by plane, car, bike or train and get around once there, and it introduces the nine neighborhoods of the City of Squares. Meeting and event planners can use its detailed guide to the more than 150,000 square feet of meeting space in Cambridge.
