What to do in Cambridge

Full of historical buildings to explore and green spaces to relax in, the city itself is very easy to get around as a pedestrian, perfect if you want a relaxed trip away.

Partake in a punt tour where you are taken along a beautiful stretch of the river Cam, where you can enjoy the views and immerse yourself in the city’s history as told by your guide. Great for families.

There are many museums in Cambridge to explore, but if you are only there for the day, the Fitzwilliam Museum showcases an impressive collection of art and artefacts from around the world.

With a number of students from all over the world travelling to study at Cambridge, there is no shortage of places to eat, drink and dine. There are a wide variety of cuisines to suit every budget and occasions, but don’t skip out on trying a Chelsea bun at Fitzbillies, where they have been made by hand since 1920.
