Insider Tips

  • 1

    Hire a punt from Scudamore's rather than self-punting for a first visit — a chauffeured punt tour with commentary gives context to the colleges and is a Cambridge essential.

  • 2

    Evensong at King's College Chapel (free, no booking required) is one of England's most transcendent experiences — arrive at least 30 minutes before the 5:30pm start.

  • 3

    Cambridge is a cycling city — hire a bike on arrival and navigate like a local rather than on foot. Nearly every hotel has bike storage or can direct you to the nearest hire point.

  • 4

    Avoid driving in Cambridge if at all possible — parking is expensive, traffic wardens are vigilant, and the centre is largely pedestrianised. The train from London takes 50 minutes.

  • 5

    The Fitzwilliam Museum is free, world-class, and vastly undervisited compared to the Oxford Ashmolean — budget half a day for the Egyptian and Greek antiquities alone.
