An hour north of London, on the banks of the river Cam, Cambridge is a classic English 'college town'. With no central campus, and with over 30 colleges scattered around town, the 'university' and the 'city' merge into one.
For visitors, most sights to see in Cambridge are located along the river and within a short distance of the town centre and the main thoroughfare of Bridge Street, Sidney Street and St Andrew's Street.
Walking through town is the popular way to experience its beauty, but those looking to view the town's magnificent gothic architecture form another perspective can book a Boat tour on the river Cam.
Like one would expect from a college town of Cambridge's stature it has an active nightlife scene ranging from pubs frequent by local students to a host of shows offered by students of the performing arts.
Most hotels in Cambridge are within a reasonable walking distance of the different colleges and the town centre. Accommodation options range from family-owned traditional guesthouses to modern chain-operated hotels.
