A stunning contradiction of old and new, town and country, Cambridge has thrived since it opened its doors to the university, back in 1209.
Home to Newton, Byron and Brooke amongst others, its reputation for technological and scientific excellence has brought the city firmly into the 21st century, but its beauty and timeless elegance remain untouched.
Only an hour's train ride from London, and surrounded by the breathtaking lowland of the fens, Cambridge is ideal for shopping, sightseeing or just city lazing by the river. Add to that a thriving nightlife and well-known appreciation of the arts, and you can be assured that, in this city at least, culture is never boring. So what can you expect once you are here? Well, that largely depends on you... Cambridge can be as laid back or upbeat as you want it to be, whether it's culture you are after, or just cruising on the River Cam. However, some things are unmissable, so we've listed a few of the best to help you make up your mind.
