For centuries, Cambridge’s venerable colleges have made the city centre one of the most exquisite in Britain. A short walk through the historic centre reveals such beauties as King’s College and its gothic chapel, Trinity College, Jesus College and Christ’s College. Countless cyclists bumping along on cobbled streets help to keep Cambridge’s position as Britain’s premier bike city, with designated lanes and routes all throughout this mercifully flat place (just keep an eye out for them when crossing roads).
There’s an unmistakably cultured air around the central colleges, amplified by the city’s fine collection of museums and busy calendar of cultural events. Wander round the narrow backstreets to stumble upon tiny pubs and independent shops, and leave the city centre to go south to Mill Road and experience its range of diverse food shops and restaurants, with cuisines from around the world.
