Explore Cambridge

Cambridge is a delight to visit in any season. Be inspired by the museums and art galleries, take in a show or just relax in one of its many pubs, restaurants and cafes. You can meander around the independent shops near the historic market place or explore the brand new shopping areas, with all the high street favourites.

Don’t forget that Cambridge is home to the famous Footlights Review that has given us comedy giants Peter Cook, Stephen Fry, David Mitchell and the Monty Python team. If you are lucky, you can check out the latest Footlights offering at the ADC Theatre.

Alternatively, there are four prestigious theatres in the city, three multi-screen cinemas, three large concert halls for classical and rock music and any number of smaller venues for drama, dance, comedy and music of all kinds.

Take a walking or punting tour to see the sights with a guide or go at your own pace with a self-guided tour. You may want to time your visit around one of the festivals and events that take place in Cambridge all year round. If you’re looking for family fun or something more sophisticated, you’re bound to find one or more events that appeals to you.
