Exploring the city from your holiday apartment in Cambridge

The most famous sights of Cambridge are probably the ancient college quads and the students punting on the river Cam. The colleges are open to visitors and anyone can hire a punt to enjoy the river, so you will soon feel part of things. Inspiration is everywhere. This is the city of Darwin and Newton and of writers like Wordsworth, Byron, Coleridge and AA Milne. The city also has some wonderfully atmospheric pubs and restaurants when refreshments are required. You can see a student theatre production at the Arts Theatre or take in live music and comedy at the Corn Exchange. A superb cultural experience also awaits at the many museums and art galleries.

Choosing your holiday accommodation in Cambridge

If you wish to stay in the centre of the city, a holiday apartment in Cambridge town centre will see you right among the beautiful old college buildings. This is a great spot to simply soak up the atmosphere and explore the winding alleyways of the old city. Just a mile or so to the northeast, a holiday apartment in Chesterton provides a quieter location for your visit. This is an area where the ancient colleges built their sports grounds and there is still much open space today. So close to the city centre, it is a quick bus ride or walk to most of Cambridge’s main attractions.

Moving beyond Cambridge

England’s great capital is only 50 miles or so to the south, so a holiday apartment in London is a perfect way to enjoy all of the sights. You can visit the Tower of London and then stroll down to Tower Bridge. The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben are a must, as is Buckingham Palace. For a more local atmosphere, try Camden market or Notting Hill and remember to visit some of the wonderful pubs in the city. London has great travel links with Paris by air or rail and a holiday apartment in Paris could see you living like a Parisian in the City of Light. Enjoy the wonderful food and stroll the wide boulevards of this fabulous city. Wherever you go, remember to book at 9flats for the most authentic holiday accommodation.
