Then take the day head on by planning 2-3 activities with meal breaks in between. If you\u2019re a foodie headed to Paris prepare your stomach\u2019s lining for an abundance of pastries and fresh bread with most meals.

Just an hour away by train, Oxford is the perfect destination if you&#8217;re looking to take a quick day trip from London. The compact city is best explored by foot or bike. You\u2019ll probably notice right away that Oxford is a city built around the university. It\u2019s the oldest university in the English-speaking world and remains a very popular draw amongst visitors.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/app\/place\/CC7jz1joI\/christ-church-oxford-england-united-kingdom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Christ Church<\/a> is Oxford\u2019s largest college and is located right in the middle of town.

You can\u2019t go to Cambridge without hitting the river for a boat ride referred to as punting, so I recommend visiting in the summer. Punting is Cambridge\u2019s answer to the gondola rides of Venice.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nature-lovers on a day trip from London should add the city\u2019s sprawling 40-acre botanical garden full of lush foliage to their itinerary.
