Abounding with exquisite architecture, exuding history and tradition, and renowned for its quirky rituals, Cambridge is a university town extraordinaire. The tightly packed core of ancient colleges, the picturesque riverside 'Backs' (college gardens) and the leafy green meadows surrounding the city give it a more tranquil appeal than its historic rival Oxford.

Home to one of England’s oldest and most prestigious universities, beautiful bridges and wonderful shopping streets, Cambridge is a fascinating city for architecture aficionados.

The city is built around the River Cam, and its 25 bridges offer interesting architectural feats best enjoyed up close on a punting tour that takes you directly beneath them. Combine this with one of the city’s walking tours and you’ll cover many of Cambridge’s city landmarks.
