mention of Oxford tends to invoke visions of green lawns and
candlelit libraries, gliding punts and twinkling spires.
Look beyond these, however, and you’ll discover a city that has
inspired much more, from Alice in Wonderful to the Mini; Radiohead
to Brideshead Revisited. Not to mention the famous Oxford
Marmalade, whose first batch of amber nectar was cooked up in
1874.

While this is undoubtedly a city steeped in heritage – home to
the oldest university in the English-speaking world, Britain’s most
ancient music hall and the UK’s first botanical garden – it is as
modern as it is traditional. From thought-provoking contemporary
art to dynamic foodie start-ups that put sustainability at the
fore, Oxford has never been more vibrant, nor more diverse. For
travellers from near or far, the city has enough
down-the-rabbit-hole magic to satisfy all tastes and appetites.
