When it comes to booking yourself Cambridge vacations, you can visit this very historic town at just about any time of year you want. This university city has lots of different things for you to see and do on your visit. Actually, getting to Cambridge could not be any easier, you have the choice of either getting there by car or bus, by train or by plane, (Stansted Airport is just 20 minutes away).
That said, don't think that you will manage to take in all the different things of interest in as short as one day. Allow yourself several days for a full exploration of the city. But along with exploring Cambridge itself, there are plenty of places close by that may be of interest to you as well.
The minds of people such as Charles Darwin and, more recently, Stephen Hawking, have been inspired by the city of Cambridge. If possible, you should endeavor to make the time to visit one of England's oldest universities. In fact, in 2009, this University will have been established for 800 years and so celebrations will take through out the year.
You can wander around the gardens and grounds of the numerous seats of learning that Cambridge houses. For the less academically inclined, there are plenty of other things to do as well. There is a top class shopping centre together with a wide range of bars, cafes and restaurants. As for accommodation, there is something to suit all budgets, from luxury hotels through to guesthouses and bed and breakfast houses as well. And if you're really pressed for cash, you can check out the hostels and camp sites as well.
If you like festivals and similar events, make sure to check your calendar so that you can time your visit to match up with your favorite one. The gardens of the college see the Shakespeare Season in the summer. At other times of the year, you can hear recitals or listen to concerts in various churches and college chapels.
If you're looking for "culture" during your vacation, you've come to the right place. However, if you want a little more activity there are plenty of leisure facilities available in the city as well. For a leisurely or competitive game of golf, there are at least two top quality golf courses for you to test. For golfers, you can choose from the Cambridge Lakes Golf Course and the long established Gog Magog Golf Club.
However, if you are bringing children with you to the City then there are plenty of places for them to enjoy as well. Just a few miles away from Cambridge is the Farmland Museum and Denny Abbey. You can have a great day out no matter how young or old you are. You'll discover how our farming has developed over the years and how farming has changed with it.
Above we have looked at few attractions and things that one can do when you stay in Cambridge. If you only stay for a weekend, you'll likely find that you won't have time to visit all the different historic places that Cambridge has to offer.
