Cambridge, not just a University City. It's easy to get around the city and there is always something new to see and do.  Historic and contemporary buildings to visit, world-renowned museums, fantastic theatre and live music.

Cambridge is a family-friendly place with a host of diverse and intriguing attractions to keep everyone happy. 


Architecture and Heritage Cambridge has profoundly shaped the world we live in, and there’s a real sense of living history almost everywhere you look. The University and its 31 colleges dominate the centre with atmospheric cobbled courts, chapels, gardens and bridges, but Cambridge is no museum piece - dramatic modern architecture sits side by side with the traditional, and lovers of architecture will find much to admire. 

Beyond Cambridge outside the city limits, there are some fantastic places to enjoy just a short drive or train ride away. Visit the market town of Ely for its magnificent cathedral; Newmarket races is odds-on for an exciting day out; or head for one of the region's majestic stately homes such as Audley End or Wimpole Hall.  A guided tour of Cambridge, the University and the Colleges is the best way to see Cambridge.

A perfect slice of England

You'll discover a perfect slice of England in Cambridge, its breathtaking buildings, the river running along the backs of the colleges, the bustling market at the centre of it all and the many thriving shops, bookshops, pubs, cafes and restaurants as well as the best Cambridge accommodation. And of course, what it is best known for - the world-famous university. Situated in the East of England, Cambridge sits on the River Cam and has plenty to offer all year round – making it ideal for a short break or holiday in Britain.

Culture & heritage

Cambridge and the surrounding area hold an unrivalled reputation for being a centre of excellence both in learning and ambience. Now its famous Colleges are home to over 17,000 students – Kings College Chapel is a familiar image all over the world. Cambridge’s heritage also includes an outstanding record of scientific and artistic achievements – Newton, Darwin, Wordsworth, Milton, Ian McKellan, John Cleese, Emma Thompson and Zadie Smith were all educated here.

Attractions
For a relatively small city, there are many things to do in Cambridge. It is rich in museums, ancient churches and historical tradition. No visit to Cambridge would be complete without seeing the Fitzwilliam Museum , with its outstanding picture collection, or the Round Church, one of only 4 round churches in Britain. And the Cambridge University Botanic Garden is one of the great secret delights of the city – Clare’s, Emmanuel’s and Newnham’s are particularly spectacular.



Food & drink
Cambridge boasts many renowned restaurants, from the most casual to the Michelin starred. The eclectic mix of cuisines features Thai, Italian, French, Spanish, modern British and many gastropubs. And of course, a healthy and enthusiastic student population ensures a plentiful supply of friendly pubs that are full of character.

Shopping
Cambridge offers some of the best shopping in the region. Whether you’re looking for department stores, designer shops, or delicatessens you’ll find them all here. The bustling city centre market square, with a market every day of the week, is at the heart of Cambridge’s shopping district. And the Grand Arcade is home to all the high street and designer shops you could ever need – all under one roof.

Sport

Cambridge had a very important role to play in Britain’s favourite sport. The first set of football rules were drawn up at the university in 1848, and were first played on Parker’s Piece. The city is also best known for its university sporting events against Oxford – most notably the rugby union Varsity Match and the Boat Race.Sourced from visitbritain
