At the heart of this spectacular destination just 89 kilometres north of London lies one of the most prestigious universities in the entire world, and one that probably doesn’t need much introduction. While the architecturally stunning colleges, especially the famous Kings College and its distinctive Gothic chapel, are the main draws for most visitors, the idyllic town also boasts many other pursuits. Spend time exchanging minds with the intelligentsia in the bustling squares, saunter through winding passages and tranquil courtyards, take a punt across its water and look up at the town’s many exquisite spires and bridges from another perspective. For a glimpse of Cambridge and all its posh prestige, enrol into a customised Cambridge tour package from Chan Brothers Travel Private Tours today.

Kings College is the grandest and largest college chapel in Cambridge, and undoubtedly the most famous in the country. Both symbolically and architecturally important, visitors can walk under the world’s largest fan-vaulted ceiling, marvel at the stone, wood and glass buildings, ponder at Ruben’s incredible masterpiece, the Adoration of the Magi, and listen to the sweet harmony of the choir during term time. 

Where do the Cambridge elites go when they need to take their weary eyes off their heavy books? Cambridge University Botanic Garden is the answer. Housing over 8,000 different plant species in 40 acres of beautiful landscapes, the 19th-century garden provides a perfect respite for them to take stock, recharge and then to be on their way to greater learning; in this case for holidaymakers, for more travelling ahead. Come find inspiration and relaxation throughout the year as the garden changes its clothes for the seasons – flowers erupt into bloom in spring, the air fills up with verdant life in summer, falling leaves lit up the ground in auburn during autumn and winter welcomes the magic of crisp cold air and heady wintry scents.
