From its historic, ivy-clad architecture to its farm-to-fork hipster hangouts, Cambridge makes for a great weekend escape. Here’s our ultimate guide for a culture-rich adventure in the city
05 September, 2022
Ah, Cambridge - land of chocolate-box, academia-steeped buildings, characterful medieval lanes and serene riverside gardens. Whether or not you've visited before, you're sure to have heard of the city's quirky rituals and free-wheeling students. But, while we're not suggesting you dismiss the hallowed university's history, nor its impressive alumni - Sir David Attenborough and Dame Emma Thompson, we're looking at you - we think it's this destination's thriving art scene and hip new hangouts you're going to be more excited about.
We've glided along the River Cam, danced in hidden bars, rummaged through boutiques, strolled market squares, taste-tested menus and jump-tested beds, to bring you the places and faces that help make Cambridge so magical. From an independent bookstore dating back to the 19th century to a bakery selling the stickiest Chelsea buns in town, this is your must-have guide to a too-cool-for-school Cambridge getaway.
