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. If you've seen everything you want to in Cambridge city, then you can always start to explore the myriad of places that are within easy reach.
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. During 2009 the university will celebrate 800 years of existence and events will be taking place throughout 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. It has a great shopping center and some superb bar, restaurants and cafes as well. There is accommodation available to suit all budgets. Cambridge is home to everything from luxury 5 star hotels right the way through to welcoming guest houses and bed and breakfasts. Plus if your budget is really limited, there are hostels and campsites also.
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. From Shakespeare Season that is held in the gardens of the College during the summer to recitals and concerts which take place in the churches in the city and also in the 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. There is Cambridge Lakes Golf Course (9-hole par 3) and the much more well established Gog Magog Golf Club.
Don't worry about taking children into the city with you - there are lots of things that they can enjoy too. Just a few miles away from Cambridge is the Farmland Museum and Denny Abbey. It is a great fun day out for all and will show you how farming technology has developed and the way in which farming has changed.
Above we have looked at few attractions and things that one can do when you stay in Cambridge. Certainly, you may find that a weekend's stay is not sufficient to take in everything that this historic and beautiful city has to offer you.
