University of Cambridge
The very heart of the city and a global centre of learning for centuries!
You can wander past the stunning architecture of the 31 colleges and soak up the centuries of academic history that infuse every cobbled street. While many colleges require a small fee to enter, simply walking through the courts and past the grand buildings like King’s, Trinity, and St John’s is a brilliant, atmospheric, and free activity.
It’s the perfect atmosphere for a scenic city break, where you can watch the students cycle past or see the punters glide down the river. It’s a truly magnificent place to visit, easily accessed from our nearby Travelodge.
