Sure, Cambridge might be known for its very, very famous community of very, very clever people, but there’s much more to this gorgeous, compact English city than its globally-renowned uni.
Apt for exploration by punt, bike or foot, Cambridge boasts heaps of fascinating museums, restaurants and cultural stuff like comedy, theatre and live music. Plus, architectural marvels and lush greenery abound, making this not just a fascinating place but a darn romantic one, too. This is a city to really, properly savour. Here are the best things to do in Cambridge right now.
1. Punt down the river
What is it? Cambridge’s most famous pastime (apart from reading loads of books) and one of the best ways to see the city. The good news is you don’t even need to work your own arm muscles.
Why go? To get within sniffing distance of Cambridge and not go punting is like going to Pisa and not seeing the leaning tower. The brave and the skilled do the stick-bit themselves, but if you’re a first-timer, book a gondolier-like guide to navigate the River Cam for you.
