What can be said about Cambridge? Quite frankly, not enough. This is a very beautiful city, and historic, 700+ year old Cambridge University is at the heart of it. If you are travelling anywhere in the UK, you must make a diversions and visit. I would love to go back in a heartbeat.

A day trip to Cambridge from London is a fascinating break from the city. Easy travel on frequent train service. Heart of the city is a 20 minute, pleasant walk from the train station. Highly recommend the professional, licensed guides from the Tourist Information office in center city. Great signage makes it hard to get lost. Our guide was stunningly...

Love the university - it's the reason the town is a first-tier academic destination. If you have time and funding, arrange a slef-funded visiting fellowship. It is worth it.

Cambridge is magnificent. I heard a choral concert in King's Chapel and did some research at King's. Everyone was first rate and the town is a gem.

A wonderful experience. Coming from the states where nothing can come close to comparing our universities to this one, the architecture is amazing! If you have good weather it's easy to spend an entire day wandering around the easily accessible town/campus. You really feel like you've been transported in time. The town is clean and the people are friendly! Photos...
