Cambridge

Iconic university city renowned for its academia, history, punting on the River Cam, and stunning architecture including colleges and chapels.

Tips from the community

Known for being quieter than Oxford, Cambridge is a city along the river with personality. Tucked away into the countryside there’s abundant green space, a famous university, a charming riverside, and a thriving arts scene. You can’t 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’s answer to the gondola rides of Venice.
Nature-lovers on a day trip from London should add the city’s sprawling 40-acre botanical garden full of lush foliage to their itinerary. Similar to Oxford a walking tour of Cambridge University is informative and worth the visit. Unearth your inner artist while exploring The Fitzwilliam Museum or catching a comedy show at Cambridge Junction. Take a stroll around Market Square if you want to stuff your carry-on with locally made crafts and fill your camera roll with cute photos for your feed.
