Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Cambridge
Book college visits online in advance. Kings College is very popular and fills up quickly, especially in summer
Rent a bicycle to explore the city. Cambridge is flat and bike-friendly with many cycle paths. Cheaper and faster than buses
Book punting with Scudamores or other licensed operators. Avoid street touts offering cheap deals - often scams
Fitzwilliam Museum and other university museums offer free entry. World-class art at no cost
Wear comfortable walking shoes. Cobblestone streets and uneven college grounds are common in historic centre
Bring an umbrella or waterproof jacket. Weather is changeable even in summer - rain can happen anytime
Cambridge has great cafes. Try Fitzbillies for famous Chelsea buns or Hot Numbers for specialty coffee
Avoid university exam times (mid-May to mid-June). Many colleges closed or restricted to visitors
