Cambridge
If Cambridge sounds familiar to you, then it’s likely that you remember it because of an English dictionary. This metropolis is famous for the world-renowned University of Cambridge, an institution that’s been around since 1209.
It’s an ideal destination to visit, especially if you fancy yourself as an aesthete or if you love literature and learning. You can explore the university to see its picturesque sections like the Botanic Garden and King’s College Chapel, enter the Fitzwilliam Museum and the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, and even go punting along the Backs to enjoy waterfront views of the Bridge of Sighs, the Round Church, and the different colleges of the university.
