The nearest subway stop is the Harvard station on the Red Line (marked with a 'T' on this map of Harvard). Take the Church Street exit and walk NNE through Harvard Yard to the Science Center. Then proceed away from the Science Center on Oxford St. The Northwest Building is just beyond the Harvard Museum of Natural History.

From Logan Airport, take the Silver Line bus from your terminal to South Station (your subway ticket will cover this part of the journey as well), and then the Red Line (Inbound, towards Alewife) six stops to Harvard Square.

Amtrak trains to Boston arrive at South Station. The Trailways and Greyhound terminals are across the street. Take the Red Line from South Station to Harvard Square.

The subway fare is $2.25/$2.75 (Charlie card or Charlie ticket required). For subway journeys from other starting points, see the MBTA subway map.

Taxis from Logan Airport take 30 minutes (less if not rush hour) and cost $40-45.
