This is a great place to come walk around and enjoy the scenery. I've been coming here for over 45 years and have always remarked on how peaceful Mount Auburn Cemetery can be. With all the different water features, trees and vegetation there is...
so much to see and observe and not to mention all the wildlife that call this place home. And the groundskeepers keep this place looking great!

This is probably one of the best kept (not so secret) secrets of greater Boston area!
This place is absolutely amazing. While it’s technically a cemetery, it really feels more like a park. There are ponds, gardens and beautiful architecture th...
roughout the 175 Acres of land here. It also boasts a collection of rare trees from all over the world (around 5000 trees in total) and is a huge draw for birders as it has an impressive variety/ diversity of them (due to the extensive ecosystem from all the rare trees I am guessing). I have literally seen countless rare birds here while not even trying to look.
You can walk around for hours and not run out of new, beautiful things to see.
There is also a tower that one is able to scale to see a pretty sweet 360 panorama of Boston and its surroundings.
Now it is still a cemetery, but one where a lot of the graves and crypts are so beautiful you may forget people are buried here. Speaking of buried people, it turns out that Isabella Stewart Gardner (of the Gardner Museum is buried here - among many other famous folks).
I can’t stress this enough: if you like beauty, alone time and tranquility, you have to check this place out!

i love i can flip flop between driving and walking by pulling off to the sides of the paths when i want to get out (with the exception of a few paths marked "no parking/walking only")
theres also parking at the entrance (all free as of now) if you prefer to walk the entire thing

This was my second visit to Mount Auburn Cemetery. My first time was in the fall, when the colorful leaves made the grounds absolutely beautiful. On this visit, my friend and I climbed to the tower at the top, which offers breathtaking 360-degr...
ee views of Cambridge and Boston. When we went, the place was quiet with very few people around - likely because it was a weekday - making it a perfect spot to relax. There is seating at the top where you can rest or even enjoy a picnic while taking in the greenery and scenery. It is a peaceful, scenic place that I highly recommend visiting.

Mount Auburn Cemetery is a hidden gem for a stroll! The serene paths wind through stunning landscapes and historic graves, some dating back to the 1800s. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset as we walked, creating a peaceful and reflective atmosphere....
The blend of nature and history makes it a must-visit spot. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet place to walk in the city! 🌅🌳
