Colleges, Attractions & Museums

Take some time to soak up the beautiful architecture and stunning lanes of Cambridge whilst strolling along the main tourist streets. Follow your gut, don’t worry about getting lost, because the truth is Cambridge is so small and most roads lead back to the centre so you’ll always find your way. Whilst walking around the centre of Cambridge try and stop off at some of the following Colleges, Attractions and Museums:

  • King’s College

Soak up the fascinating architecture of Cambridge University from this iconic College founded by King Henry VI and take some time to visit their famous Chapel which is the tallest stone fan-vaulted chapel in the world.

Dinner in Cambridge

After exploring the streets, take a break for a warm and delicious meal around the centre. The options are pretty much endless when it comes to food. From traditional British food to international restaurants serving cuisine from all over the world. As locals, our recommendations tend to be the following:

  • The Town and Gown Pub and Theater

Ideally for those looking for an extra element of fun for the night. Why not follow your meal with a live show at their theatre venue!

Our favourite Indian restaurant in town! If you get a chance to visit this place don’t forget to order their yummy Krispy Kale Chaat.
