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.
