A Visit to Cambridge

By: Caron Kristan

Famous for its world class university, its cobbled streets and the many river punters, Cambridge is one of Britain''s most popular tourist destinations, both for domestic travellers and foreign visitors alike.

If you are yet to make your first trip into the city centre, here''s a look at a few unmissable highlights:

The university buildings are simply stunning. Spending an afternoon wandering about these beautifully preserved historic buildings, contemplating the many great minds who have passed across its courtyards, is one of the most worthwhile and inspirational Cambridge experiences. Don''t be surprised when you are asked to pay an entrance fee, the colleges are free to students in residence only.

Cambridge is home to range of fabulous restaurants and you certainly won''t find yourself short of dining options. If you have a particularly sweet tooth, however, head down to Chocolat Chocolat and browse their tempting range of handmade truffles and home cooked sweets and cakes. If you only have a couple of minutes to spare grab a cup of their sumptuous hot chocolate to go.

When the weather is fine there is no better way to see Cambridge than from the river. Punting, of course, is one of the city''s major tourist attractions and is best enjoyed at off-peak times early in the morning or during the week, if you want to get a good view.

Aside from the colleges, Cambridge has an array of other architectural delights to offer. One of the most lovely is the Norman round church, one of only very few left in existence in England.

Summertime sees the city come to life with culture as festivals of all shapes and sizes spring up in the area. One of the most popular is the Shakespeare Festival, celebrating the life and works of the great bard with an array of impressive performances taking place throughout the month of August.

Cambridge is easily accessed by bus or train from a range of locations across the United Kingdom. It is also directly connected to several of London''s major airports if you are travelling from or to more faraway places.
