Ely Cathedral

If you are wondering what life is like living at the University of Cambridge, you can even rent one of the campus dorm rooms during the school holidays to see for yourself. As the university is next to the centre of the city, the dorms are idyllically located.

Or simply stay in the city centre itself where you will find the best shopping, dining, and nightlife in Cambridge. With many of its most popular museums dotted around the centre and the University of Cambridge within walking distance, it’s also a cultural melting pot.

Whilst the city centre is neat and refined, Mill Road is where you’ll find the city’s edge. Think indie bars, brewpubs, vintage shops, and multicultural cuisine. Everything here has a cool hipster vibe that the city centre can’t compete with.

Alternatively, why not stay in the country’s capital? After all, central London is only an hour away by train, and there are so many more iconic sites to see from the top of the Tower of London, to the depths of the London Dungeons.
