Explore Waltham
While Boston stands alone as the area's main cultural and entertainment destination, the historic city of Waltham — population 60,000 — offers a wide array of restaurants, shops, and theaters to suit any taste.
The trendy Main Street–Moody Street area, with its dozens of ethnic eateries, fine antique shops and popular boutiques, has become one of Greater Boston's most popular night-on-the-town destinations. From there, it's a short walk to the Embassy Cinema, a six-screen multiplex featuring a mix of independent film, foreign-language cinema and Hollywood favorites — not to mention an espresso bar.
Downtown Waltham is just a 20-minute walk from campus. The university Bran Van also makes several trips a day into the city.
