History and culture with a twist

Cambridge isn't just any old historic city. It's illustrious, distinguished and has played a major role in shaping the world we live in today. Cambridge is a world class city with a world class reputation. There's something for everyone all year round.

At the number one University in the world, the 31 colleges also provide a stunning setting with cobbled courts, chapels, gardens and bridges. In a single day you can marvel at Darwin's original specimens, examine Egyptian artefacts in the Fitzwilliam Museum, or take in some true mastery from the likes of Canaletto, Titian and Cezanne. Big names for a city with a big reputation. However, Cambridge is no old relic. Groundbreaking modern architecture rubs shoulders with the traditional, modern art sits in Kettle's Yard and avant-garde theatrical and musical performances show at the Arts Theatre and Corn Exchange. There's even a world famous annual folk festival.

A new perspective

The intersecting, narrow side streets are speckled with quaint independent boutiques and cafes, whilst the Grand Arcade and Grafton Centre shopping centres boasts the bigger brands and chain stores, such as John Lewis, the Apple store, Calvin Klein and Kurt Geiger. The night life is lively, and should you fancy a bite to eat, there are plenty of wine bars and brasseries, and on the riverside a two star Michelin restaurant.

Beautiful on the eye, yet vibrant, cosmopolitan and bursting with opportunity, Cambridge is an historic city with a new perspective.
