"Beautiful garden-like cemetery grounds with miles of winding roads to explore, with this fantastic tower to climb near center! FREE! Warning- you better have GPS, or it would be very easy to get lost/disoriented in the maze of roads within this huge place (although there are some "EXIT" signs to direct you out)!"
"Great view of Boston and surrounding area. Well kept tower with two levels. Might turn on your phone flashlight going up and down in some places that are kind of dark in the stairwell."
"Washington Tower at Mount Auburn Cemetery is a hidden gem! The views here are breathtaking. Better yet you can also climb to the top of the tower and get a stunning 360 degree view of Boston and the surrounding towns and cities. What a cool piece of history here in Watertown."
"Maybe it’s the Momento Mori as you move past the graves. It’s an opportunity to think of those you love— and what you have. Sobering thankfulness, the good fortune to observe the engraved stone and to be shaded by generational old trees. Tranquil. I feel this is the word that best describes how I felt visiting Washington Tower and the Cemetery. A return to nature, a silence nested in the city. The tower is located in the center of the Mount Auburn Cemetery. The grounds are beautiful and well worth parking outside and walking through. I would not recommend driving to the tower, you will miss out on so much of this space and what I described above. The tower takes you above the trees where you will feel the wind move through your clothing and hair. Well worth the assent up the tower of stairs. Maybe the intent was to give the observer the perception of transcendence. Or maybe, it’s just a cool place to visit and enjoy."
"Came from out of town and this is definitely a hidden gem for tourists! Not crowded at all but gave AMAZING views of Cambridge snd Boston!! I wore my 3 inch heels and walked from the bus stop. It was definitely a hike and we were sweating in our cute fall sweaters but it was so worth it! I am doing this again next time to Boston! Plus, the cemetery grounds are beautiful and serene!"
