Cambridge - Cambridge

Vir ander plekke met dieselfde naam, sien Cambridge (onduidelikheid).

King's College Chapel en punters op die River Cam, gesien vanaf The Backs.

Cambridge is 'n universiteitsstad in Cambridgeshire in Engeland. Dit is 'n stad van krokusse en affodille op die rug, met groen oop ruimtes en beeste wat net 450 meter van die markplein af wei. Koeie dwaal soms die markgebied binne, omdat hulle nie omhein is nie. Die Cambridge van Brooke, Byron, Newton en Rutherford, van die somer-idille van punts, 'hobbels', koel wilgers en May Balls is die moeite werd om te sien.

Verstaan

King's Parade in die middel van Cambridge, met die University Senate House aan die linkerkant en die Great St Mary's Church aan die regterkant.

Cambridge bring baie beelde in gedagte: die asemrowende uitsig op King's College Chapel van oorkant die rivier die Cam, die ryk ingewikkeldheid van die Gotiese argitektuur, studente wat fietsry na lesings, en lui somer wat op die River Cam gaan.

Cambridge slaag daarin om sy rol as historiese stad te kombineer met 'n wêreldbekende universiteit en sedert die 20ste eeu 'n internasionaal erkende sentrum vir uitnemendheid vir tegnologie en wetenskap. Die Universiteit van Cambridge is in 1209 gestig deur geleerdes wat vertrek het Oxford na 'n geskil met inwoners van die stad. Hulle het die rustige stad Cambridge as 'n geskikte plek vir studie gekies. In die 17de eeu het die Universiteit van Cambridge baie van die stigters van 'n Amerikaanse universiteit met die naam Harvard opgevoed, wat ook op 'n plek geleë is Cambridge (vernoem na die Engelse universiteit). Cambridge Universiteit het baie bekende alumni, waaronder: wiskundiges soos Sir Isaac Newton, wetenskaplikes soos Stephen Hawking en Charles Darwin, filosowe soos Bertrand Russell en Ludwig Wittgenstein, en skrywers soos John Milton en Lord Byron. Dit was die tuiste van Rutherford se baanbrekerswerk in kernfisika, en Crick en Watson se DNA-werk (sien die Eagle pub hieronder). Cambridge-akademici het meer Nobelpryse gewen as dié van enige ander universiteit in die wêreld. Die gerug dat net een universiteit, Trinity, meer Nobelpryswenners as Frankryk gehad het, is egter vals.

Die stad word aan alle kante omring deur erfenisdorpe, dorpe en antieke monumente (soos Ely en Peterborough), alles binne maklike reisafstand. Soos in Oxford, is Cambridge gespaar van die Duitse tapytbomaanval wat baie ander Britse stede tydens die Tweede Wêreldoorlog verwoes het, en is dus een van die bes bewaarde middeleeuse stede in die Verenigde Koninkryk.

Meer as 6 miljoen besoekers kom elke jaar na Cambridge om die historiese stad te geniet. Die stad self is redelik kompak, met baie van die belangrikste besienswaardighede op loopafstand. Cambridge is 'n ideale basis vir die verkenning van sommige van die sagste (lees die platste; goed vir rustige wandelinge, sleg vir heuwels met uitkykpunte) en die mees ongerepte platteland in Engeland.

Gaan in

Cambridge is slegs 80 km noord van Londen. Met goeie spoorwegdienste en padkommunikasieverbindings is Cambridge maklik bereikbaar, of u nou met die motor reis, of met die openbare vervoer.

Met die vliegtuig

Cambridge is binne maklike bereik van sommige, maar nie al die internasionale lughawens van Londen nie.

Londen Stansted-lughawe (STN ^IATA) is 50 km weg en het gereelde bus- en spoorwegdienste na Cambridge. Direkte spoorwegdienste vertrek elke uur (na Birmingham New Street) en neem ongeveer 35 minute met 'n retoertarief van £ 16,00. Vir meer gereelde dienste neem u Stansted Express na Londen vanaf platform 1 en wissel by Bishops's Stortford of Stansted Mountfitchet. Dit duur ongeveer 50 minute. Spoorwegdienste is moontlik nie beskikbaar as u vlug baie laat by Stansted aankom of baie vroeg op die dag vertrek nie, en hoewel die lughawe graag uurdienste wil adverteer, is daar 'n paar vreemde leemtes in die rooster, dus kyk na die borde voordat u 'n kaartjie koop, en gaan na die busterminus as daar niks sinvols aangebied word nie. National Express-afrigters ry tussen Cambridge en Stansted (ook laat in die nag), en dit duur ongeveer 50 minute met pryse van £ 12. Abacus Airport Cars Cambridge ry vanaf £ 47 een rigting daarheen.

Luton-lughawe (LTN ^IATA) kan die beste bereik word deur die National Express Coach, wat ongeveer 1 uur en 40 minute duur met pryse van ongeveer £ 26, maar dit duur net elke 2 uur.

Londen Stansted en London Luton lughawens bied baie van die goedkoopste internasionale vlugte in Europa aan, met baie van die groot goedkoop Europese lugrederye soos Easyjet, Ryanair, Jet2 en TUIfly met 'n middelpunt op een van hierdie twee lughawens.

Londen Gatwick-lughawe (LGW ^IATA) het nou 'n uurlikse Thameslink-spoorwegdiens na Cambridge en duur ongeveer 1 uur 55 minute met 'n enkele tarief van £ 35,50. Alternatiewelik benodig twee verdere dienste per uur 'n wissel tussen London St Pancras en die aangrensende King's Cross. Gatwick is die goedkoopste lughawe in Londen met die motor, omdat dit aan die oorkant van Londen is, dit is 'n toer van die M25-Londense ringweg. Dit duur ongeveer 3 uur. Abacus Airport Cars Cambridge ry vanaf £ 100 een rigting daarheen. Daar is 'n National Express-busdiens beskikbaar, weer ongeveer 3 uur (en weer die M25).

Londen Heathrow-lughawe (LHR ^IATA) is 90-120 min met die motor weg, afhangend van die verkeer.

National Express-afrigters van en na die Heathrow-sentrale busstasie duur ongeveer 2½ uur met pryse vanaf £ 36 (Sep 2019).

Per spoor is daar twee opsies, wat albei ongeveer 2 uur moet duur:

• Neem die Heathrow Express vanaf Heathrow Railstation by Terminals 2 & 3 (daar is geen ekstra koste vir vervoer tussen Terminale 4 & 5 na Terminale 2 & 3 nie) na London Paddington (PAD), hierdie diens vertrek ongeveer elke 15 minute. Neem vanaf London Paddington die metro (Hammersmith and City line of Circle line) na London Kings Cross (LGX) en neem dan 'n trein na Cambridge (CBG). Die totale koste as u langer as 3 maande vooraf bespreek, moet minder as £ 20 eenrigting wees en £ 30 terug. As u kaartjies vir die Heathrow Express aan boord of op die lughawe koop, verwag u £ 35 enkel en £ 55 terug. Hierdie reismetode verminder die tyd wat u aan die buis spandeer tot minder as 15 minute, wat raadsaam is tydens spitstye (07:00 tot 09:00, 16:00 tot 18:00).
• Neem die metro (Piccadilly-lyn) vanaf die Londense Heathrow-ondergrondse terminale 2,3,4 of 5 na London Kings Cross (LGX) of (wissel by Holborn vir die Central Line) na London Liverpool Street (LST). Neem daarvandaan 'n trein na Cambridge (CBG). Tariewe vanaf Kings Cross £ 25,10 enkel en £ 38,70 buite die spits; vanaf Liverpool straat £ 18,90 buite die piek enkel en £ 27,50 buite die piek terug. Die goedkoopste busverbinding tussen Heathrow en Londen is £ 3,10 met kontaklose. Hierdie reismetode is die goedkoopste per trein, maar behels ongeveer 1 uur buisreis, wat nie raadsaam is tydens spitsbuistye nie (07: 00-09: 00, 16: 00-) 18:00).

Abacus-lughawe-motors na Cambridge kos £ 85,00 eenrigting.

London City Airport (LCY ^IATA) word die beste per trein na King's Cross of Liverpool Street bereik as Heathrow, dan Underground en Docklands Light Railway dwarsoor Londen ('n metro- / DLR-prys is £ 2,80 buite die piek met kontakloos). Abacus Airport Cars Cambridge ry vanaf £ 77 een rigting daarheen.

Cambridge het sy eie lughawe - Cambridge Internasionale Lughawe (CBG ^IATA) - aan die oostelike buitewyke van die stad; dit is 10 minute van die historiese sentrum af. Daar is egter geen gereelde vlugte meer nie.

Met die trein

Wikivoyage het 'n gids tot Treinreise in die Verenigde Koninkryk.

Gereelde treine ry vanaf Londen (King's Cross en Liverpoolstraat) na Cambridge. Die vinnigste "Cambridge Cruiser" -dienste van en na King's Cross loop ononderbroke en neem minder as 50 minute. Dit vertrek gewoonlik om 15 uur en 45 minute na die uur. 'Semisnelle' dienste stop by 'n paar tussenstasies en duur ongeveer 65 minute, stadiger treine kan tot 90 minute duur. Probeer vermy om 'n trein te neem met meer as 8 haltes tussen Cambridge en London King's Cross om die stadigste treine te vermy. Treine van en na London Liverpool Street duur ongeveer 75 minute. As u superkaartjies buite die piek koop, is dit die goedkoopste beskikbaar teen £ 13 dae. Direkte treine vanaf die Stansted-lughawe na Cambridge neem 35 minute (treine vanaf Stansted gaan in die rigting van Birmingham). Omdat Cambridge een van die hoofverbindings van die East Anglia-spoorwegnetwerk is, loop treine ook van en na Ipswich, Norwich, Peterborough en Birmingham. Sien Nasionale spoorweg vir inligting oor roosters en tariewe.

U kan oornag koop Spoor en seil kaartjie vanaf Cambridge na enige plek in die Nederland vir ongeveer £ 80 met behulp van die Harwich-Hook of Holland-veerbootroete. Maak seker dat u die regte kaartjie kies, maar u kan aanbiedings vind wat die veerboot dek (kamer en bed ingesluit) en tussen Cambridge na enige stasie in Nederland reis. Vertrek vanaf Cambridge is ongeveer 19:00; andersom kom jy 'n bietjie voor 10:00. (Daar is ook dagbote, maar die treinroosters beteken dat u geen treinverbinding kan maak nie.)

52.1940.1381 Cambridge-treinstasie is ongeveer 2 km suid van die middestad; daar is gereelde busse na die stad en 'n taxistaanplek buite die stasie. Die stasie het 'n bemanningssentrum, selfdienskaartjie-masjiene (baie neem slegs Europese slimkaartkaartjies en aanvaar nie kontant nie) en outomatiese kaartversperrings (u benodig u kaartjie om te kry albei in en uit die stasie). Let op die koop van kaartjies, want daar is dikwels 'n tou by die masjiene en niks by die kaartjievensters nie. Daar is ook kitsbanke, verskeie kafees en 'n boekwinkel op die platform wat slegs vir kaartjiehouers toeganklik is, en 'n mini-supermark in die stasieportaal. Die stasie is baie lank, met verskeie treine wat end-tot-einde op die hoofplatform geparkeer is, dus u moet dalk ver tussen treine loop as u 'n noue verbinding het.

52.2230.1362 Cambridge Noord-treinstasie is in die noordooste van die stad geleë en word met treine van en na Londen, Kings Lynn en Norwich bedien. Hierdie stasie is gerieflik vir die Cambridge Science Park, maar daar is min toeristebesienswaardighede in hierdie deel van die stad.

Per siklus

Cambridge het die hoogste siklusgebruik in enige stad in die Verenigde Koninkryk.

Cambridge is baie toeganklik per fiets, en die plaaslike regering moedig volhoubare reis (soos stap en fietsry) aan. Die nasionale fietsnetwerkroetes 11 en 51 ry albei deur die stad, en Cambridge word ook bedien met 'n uitgebreide plaaslike fietsnetwerk. Binne die stad is fietsry 'n algemene manier om rond te kom. Fietse kan gehuur word by 'n aantal winkels, insluitend Station Cycles (net noord van die treinstasie), die sentrale tak van Station Cycles (geleë op vloer -1 van die Grand Arcade-winkelsentrum) en by City Cycle Hire (aan die westekant) rand van die middestad, in die voorstad Newnham).

Enkele vinnige opmerkings oor fietsetiket: fietsry op die sypaadjie (sypaadjie) is gewoonlik nie toegelaat nie, tensy daar 'n spesifiek ondertekende fietsrybaan is; fietsry op die pad is altyd toegelaat, selfs al bestaan ​​daar 'n baan vir gedeelde gebruik (maar dit kan motorbestuurders irriteer). Eenrigtingstrate is van toepassing op fietse, tensy daar 'n fietsbaan is om in die teenoorgestelde rigting te ry. Respekteer rooi verkeersligte en gebruik altyd fietsligte in die donker. As u sonder ligte betrap word, is u strafbaar met 'n boete van £ 30. Volg die reëls, selfs as baie ander dit oortree.

Met die motor

Parkering kan moeilik wees in sentraal-Cambridge (die beste parkeerplek, as u bereid is om te betaal, is in die Grand Arcade in die middel van die stad) en die eenrigtingstraatstelsel is uiters verwarrend. Die Raad beveel aan dat die "Park and Ride" -skema gebruik word (£ 1 vir parkering en £ 2,70 retoer-busgeld).

• Cambridge is hoofsaaklik met die M11 of die A10 met Londen verbind.
• Kom vanaf die noorde van die A1 na die A14.
• Vanaf Wes- en Noordwes-Londen en Hertfordshire, die A1 (M) en A505 via Letchworth en Hitchin is 'n redelike vinnige alternatiewe roete wat die M25 vermy (veral tydens spitsverkeer).
• Die A421 / A428 is ook die moeite werd om te oorweeg as u van hier af ry Milton Keynes en Bedford.

Met die bus

National Express bied busverbindings na groot stede regoor die land, insluitend direkte dienste na Victoria en Birmingham in Londen, asook gereelde lughawebusse na Luton, Stansted, Heathrow en Gatwick. National Express-afrigters vertrek vanaf Parkside, langs Parker's Piece-park, ongeveer 'n kilometer van die middestad af. Baie dienste stop ook by die Trumpington en Madingley Road Park en Ride webwerwe.

Die busstasie vir korterafstandbusse is in Drummerstraat, gerieflik geleë vir al die belangrikste besienswaardighede. Toneelwag bestuur roetes van Cambridge na Bedford, Ely, Peterborough (via 'n verbinding by Chatteris), Newmarket, Saffron Walden, Bury St Edmunds en Oxford.

Verskeie verskillende bus- en busondernemings (veral Stagecoach en Whippet Coaches) bedryf dienste binne Cambridge en omgewing, en dus is kaartjies vir een onderneming moontlik nie geldig op busroetes wat deur ander maatskappye bedryf word nie. Die diens is berug onreëlmatig, en dit is die beste om ongeveer die helfte soveel tyd weer te verlaat vir die reis, aangesien die busse dikwels vertraag / gekanselleer / stadig is, en as 'n dringende verbinding gemaak moet word, word dit die beste vermy, veral die handelsmerke: loop of neem 'n taxi.

Die polisieman trek dus 'n elektron op die stadsomleiding: "Het jy besef dat jy presies die helfte van die ligsnelheid gedoen het?"

'O wonderlik', sê die elektron, 'nou is ek verlore' - 'n intellektuele grappie

Cambridge is meestal voetgangervriendelik: die meeste besienswaardighede kan maklik bereik word op voet en baie van die sentrale gebied is verkeersvry. Sommige van die sypaadjies word gedeel deur voetgangers en fietsryers; dit kan u vang, tensy u daarop let. Cambridge-stapaanwysings kan aanlyn met die walkit.com staproetebeplanner. Studente en plaaslike inwoners gebruik gereeld fietse om rond te kom en huur van 'n fiets^{[dooie skakel]} is 'n lewensvatbare alternatief vir bloot stap.

U kan ook kies vir 'n hop-on, hop-off open-top besigtigingsbus wat kommentaar lewer in verskeie tale. Die toerbus ry verby die treinstasie, die Amerikaanse begraafplaas en baie van die historiese kolleges, maar aangesien die middestad voetgangers is, kan dit slegs Sondae die meer sentrale kolleges nader.

Die plaaslike gebruik is min nodig busdienste behalwe as u in 'n verafgeleë gebied in die stad bly, maar as u dit nodig het, is dit skoon en doeltreffend. Citi-busse kos tussen £ 1 en £ 2 vir individuele kontantpryse in Cambridge City (verandering word gegee, maar bestuurders mag groot notas weier), maar vertel die bestuurder net u bestemming terwyl u aan boord gaan en neem u kaartjie van die masjien af. 'N Heeldagpas kos £ 4,50 vir Cambridge City en Park and Ride-dienste of £ 7,00 vir die omliggende omgewing.

Die stadsraad van Cambridge ontmoedig die gebruik van motors. Parkeerkoste is hoog en die stad is die tuiste van 'n stelsel van stygende bolletjies waarmee voertuie met toepaslike transponders (bv. taxi's, busse, noodvoertuie) deur, maar ernstige skade aan ander voertuie wat aan die agterkant is, kan beskadig, dikwels tot die punt dat dit afgeskryf word.

Uber rit is beskikbaar, en daar is baie taxi-ondernemings in Cambridge.

Kolleges

Cambridge het 'n aantal interessante moderne geboue, byvoorbeeld die Centre for Mathematical Sciences

Die Universiteit van Cambridge bestaan ​​uit 'n aantal semi-onafhanklike kolleges, baie sentraal, sommige tot drie kilometer van die middestad af (tradisioneel gemeet vanaf die kerk van die St. St. Mary's). Die volgende is 'n goeie keuse vir besienswaardighede. Die meeste kolleges in die sentrale gebied is die moeite werd om te kyk as u tyd daarvoor het.

Sommige kolleges vra vir toegang. Dit kan duur wees, ongeveer £ 5 per persoon of meer. As u vriende is met 'n student, mag hulle 'n besoeker gratis inbring. Kolleges is gewoonlik gesluit vir besoekers gedurende die Universiteit se eksamenperiode, einde Mei en die eerste week van Junie.

Onthou om respekvol te wees wanneer u die kolleges besoek. Dit is 'n groot deel van die jaar studentehuise, en die werklas en druk aan die Universiteit kan geweldig groot wees. Moenie geboue binnegaan waarheen u nie uitdruklik uitgenooi is nie, moenie na mense se vensters kyk nie en wees beleefd wanneer u foto's neem; wees veral diskreet in die biblioteke. Onthou altyd dat die rol van die kolleges in die eerste plek die rol van akademiese instellings is; hulle is nie daar vir toeriste nie, en dit is ongemanierd om iets te doen wat die mense wat daarin woon en belemmer belemmer.

	COVID-19 inligting: As gevolg van die Covid-19-pandemie, die kolleges is vanaf Augustus 2020 vir besoekers gesluit.

Dit is grotendeels in die 17de eeu herbou met werk aan die Hoofhof wat in 1673 begin het; die kapel is in 1704 voltooi. Ondanks die beskeie grootte, is die hoofkantoor van die kollege se drie-kantige baksteen byna uniek onder Cambridge-kolleges en verdien dit 'n kort rukkie terwyl hy in Trumpingtonstraat afstap. Die kollege is in die middel van Cambridge, langs King's College, en het Corpus Christi College.  
• 52.18550.138110 Homerton College. Homerton College is een van die nuwer kolleges, al bestaan ​​dit al eeue lank as 'n akademiese instelling en is dit argitektonies baie mooi, met uitgebreide en rustige gronde en 'n skilderagtige boord.

Die Fitzwilliam Museum is die kuns- en oudhede museum van die Universiteit van Cambridge en is in Trumpingtonstraat. Dit ontvang jaarliks ​​ongeveer 300 000 besoekers. Die museum is in 1816 gestig met die bemaking van die biblioteek en kunsversameling van die VIIde Burggraaf FitzWilliam. Die bemaking het ook £ 100.000 ingesluit "om 'n goeie aansienlike museumbewaarplek te laat oprig". Die "Founder's Building" self is ontwerp deur George Basevi, voltooi deur C. R. Cockerell en in 1848 geopen; die ingangsportaal is deur Edward Middleton Barry en is in 1875 voltooi. Die Egiptiese galerye in die Fitzwilliam Museum is in 2006 heropen na 'n twee jaar lange program van opknapping, bewaring en navorsing van £ 1,5 miljoen.

The colleges (see above) all have chapels which can be visited, but town churches also offer a rich insight into the history of the town and university, and are usually free.

Doen

Punting is a popular activity in Cambridge

• Explore the backs. It's free, and gives you a real flavour of the city. You can walk through King's College, onto King's Parade, a beautiful row of exclusive shops. You can also experience the backs by punt which is extremely popular.
• Punting. 9:30AM-dusk daily. If anything is stereotypically 'Cambridge', this is it. Punting involves propelling a flat bottomed boat with a long wooden pole (quant) by pushing a pole against the shallow river bottom. For the full effect, take strawberries and Champagne to quaff as you glide effortlessly down the river. You can either travel along the famous College Backs or head out towards the village of Grantchester. Guided tours are also available from around £20.00 per person on the day. Save by booking online at (Rutherford's Punting Cambridge, Let's Go & Traditional Punting Website en Cambridge Chauffeur Punts. If you're up for more of an adventure, try it out for yourself on a self-hire boat Scudamore's Punting Company or Trinity College Hire. Pay per hour per punt for a quick trip along the College Backs, if you want longer it's cheaper to hire a punt for the day from Scudamore's for £120 - well worth it in summer when you head out towards Grantchester. A deposit (e.g. a credit card) is required. In fact if you turn up in the summer you'll find it hard not to go punting as touts assail you from all sides on the Quayside and Mill Pond streets. Punting to Grantchester (upriver) takes about an hour and a half for an experienced punter, and the complete journey would be difficult for first-timers. Along the Grantchester route there are riverbanks on the way for mooring up with meadowland suitable for picnics (Note that pranksters have been known to push unattended punts out into the river.)
• Walking tours. Guided walking tours are available all year round with a range of walking tours to choose from. These tours can be tailored to suit group interest with the central tourist office a good place start. There is also the option to experience Cambridge virtually with some University Colleges providing their own tours. These include King's College en St John's College with a city virtual tour also available.
• Rowing. Cambridge is renowned for rowing on the Cam. All colleges and some schools have their own clubs, and there are over half a dozen large 'town' clubs. There are a number of regattas and head races on the river throughout the year, though the highlight in the rowing calendar on the Cam is the annual bumping races. For College crews, the 'May' bumps are in June, for the local clubs, this normally is the fourth week in July. Over four evenings of racing (Tuesday - Friday), eights attempt to gain higher position by catching the crew ahead of them before being 'bumped' by the crew behind. Races take place downstream (north) of the city, between the A-14 road bridge and the railway bridge at Stourbridge Common, and are best viewed from the towpath alongside the river, or from the Plough pub in Fen Ditton, both accessible by foot from the town centre - words of warning though - if on the towpath side, be careful for the massive number of bikes that accompany the crews racing, if in the pub, you may not get a seat, and beer prices are at a premium.
• Cycling. Rent a bicycle and bike the mostly flat terrain around Cambridge. Popular destinations are Grantchester (3 km), American Cemetery (5 km), along River Cam towpath to Milton Country Park (5 km), Wicken Fen (12 km), Duxford Imperial War Museum especially during air-shows (15 km) and Ely (23 km).

The target of many a punt journey up the river Cam from Cambridge, the Orchard is a famous tea rooms with a long list of famous patrons that include Rupert Brooke, Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster and Bertrand Russell. Taking tea in The Orchard is a well-established Cambridge tradition. Planted with apple trees, the large garden of The Orchard is perfect for lounging on a deck chair in the sun with a cup of tea and a scone for sustenance. Long queues can be expected on sunny days, but there is always room to be found in the garden. Immortalised by the poet Rupert Brooke in his 1912 poem The Old Vicarage, Grantchester, Grantchester is a favourite amongst both tourists and students travelling upstream from Cambridge by punt to eat a picnic in the meadows or at the tea gardens called The Orchard. The story goes that in 1897 a group of Cambridge students persuaded the owner of Orchard House to serve them tea, and this subsequently became a regular practice. Later lodgers at Orchard House included the poet Rupert Brooke, who later moved next door to the Old Vicarage (built c. 1685). In 1912, while in Berlin, he would write his well-known poem The Old Vicarage, Grantchester, in which Brooke recalled happy days in the idyllic English surroundings of Cambridgeshire. (The Old Vicarage is now the home of the novelist Lord Jeffrey Archer of Weston-super-Mare.)

• The Castle Inn, 38 Castle St. One of the best and busiest, traditional pubs in Cambridge. With an eclectic mix of locals and visitors, it can get impossibly busy of Friday and Saturday nights, however, the beer is excellent (the wine less so) and the food is home cooked and good value - the "Castle Burger" is a popular choice. 
• The Champion of the Thames, 68 King Street. Old style pub in the centre of town with a blazing fireplace in the winter. One of the few pubs to sell a local cider rather than the mass-produced stuff. 
• The Devonshire Arms, Devonshire Road (Mill Road end). Good selection of Milton Brewery beers. Good menu. Friendly, and handy for the station. 
• The Eagle, 8 Benet Street. Watson and Crick were regulars here whilst in the process of unravelling the secrets of DNA. American airmen also burned their names into the roof of one of the bars during the Second World War. 
• The Fort St George, Midsummer Common. Been there for hundreds of years, overlooks the Cam and Midsummer Common. Also one of the best places in town for a pub lunch! (Think Sunday roast.) 
• The Free Press, 7 Prospect Row. Mobile phone use is not allowed, making this a pleasant quiet pub. Pub terrace 
• The Granta, Newnham Road. A large terrace looks out on the river and surrounding nature. Popular during the summer, this pub serves excellent food, and rents out punts and canoes. 
• The Kingston Arms, 33 Kingston St, Cambridge CB1 2NU, ☏ 44 1223 319414. Underrated old-fashioned free house with friendly atmosphere, open later than other Cambridge bars (2AM weekends, drinking-up time generally half an hour). 
• The Live and Let Live, Mawson Road. A small and very friendly place with an excellent selection of real ales. 
• The Maypole, 20A Portugal Place, CB5 8AF. A Cambridge institution, still independent and it's noticeable in its style and management. Smart pub, heated outdoor area. Enormous range of alcohol, perhaps slightly higher prices than the local average, but only slightly and it's worth it for the atmosphere. Late opening, last call's at 1 on weekends but boot-out's a good hour later. (updated Jan 2020)
• The Mill, Mill Lane. Cosy in the winter, bustling in the summer, this pub offers a refined selection of real ale. 
• Old Ticket Office, Cambridge Railway Station, CB1 2JWT (Just to the right as you come out of the railway station), ☏ 44 1223 859 017, ✉[email protected].

City Pub Co. bought and renovated the former ticket office in 2018 and it's been very successful, with a handful of regulars despite being on the outskirts of town. Wide range of craft beers (30 !) and gins (20 ), wines and cocktails. Extensive hot food menu and takeaway pastries. Pint £4.00-9.00 (high abv). (updated Oct 2019)

• The Regal, St Andrews Street. Formerly a cinema, the Regal is the largest pub in the city and according to some, Europe. Offers a broad range of drinks including cheap ales you´d expect from a Wetherspoon´s chain pub, plus music and a rowdy dance floor in the evenings 
• The Wrestlers, Newmarket Road. A bit of a walk from the City Centre, but great real ales and some of the best Thai food in town. 

Country pubs

Grantchester also contains four pubs - the Red Lion and the Green Man are closest to the river bank, and the Rupert Brooke and Blue Ball are to the right (Cambridge direction) along the main street of the village.

Slaap

There is a range of options for accommodation in the city, although not so many for the budget traveller. In addition to guesthouses and hotels, there is a youth hostel and the option of staying in one of the rooms in a college. These rooms can be old with fantastic original features; they're a great base from which to explore the city. Outside of term, these will often be rooms which students have vacated for the holidays. Colleges can be contacted directly for information on accommodation in college, or they can be booked through UniversityRooms.

Stay safe

Although Cambridge is one of the safest cities in the UK, you should still use your common sense at night and be careful in badly-lit areas outside the city centre. As of 2019, pick-pockets are taking advantage of the throngs of tourists on King's Parade and the nearby shops; keep an eye on valuables. It is wise to be on your guard around Regent Street & St Andrew's Street after midnight with anti-social behaviour due to people leaving pubs and nightclubs.

If you have a bike, keep it locked up to a solid object with a strong lock (preferably a D-lock), as cycle theft is big business. There are cycle parking places with cycle stands to lock you bike to, in several places around the city centre and at the railway station. "Secure" covered cycle parking with CCTV surveillance and cycle stands is available in the lower section of the Park Street car park and at the Grand Arcade cycle park.

The city's police station is on Parkside which is next door to the city's fire station. The opening times of the enquiry office is every day 8AM-10PM and bank holidays 9AM-5PM. There are a couple of smaller stations in the nearby villages of Histon and Sawston. The opening time of the enquiry office is for Histon, Mondays; 4PM-8PM, Wednesdays to Fridays; 8AM - midday, with Tuesdays, weekends and bank holidays closed. For Sawston, it is Wednesdays to Friday; 1PM-5PM, Mondays, weekends and bank holidays closed. The non-emergency contact number is 101, calls are fixed rate of £0.15 on landlines and mobiles.

The city's Accident and Emergency department (Casualty department) is located at Addenbrooke's Hospital on Hills Road, south of the city centre.

Map of places with Wikivoyage articles nearby

• Grantchester: Take a day trip to enjoy the countryside and have scones and tea at The Orchard. With a long history of famous patrons such as Rupert Brooke, Virginia Woolf, EM Forster and Bertrand Russell, taking tea in The Orchard is a well established tradition. This large garden planted with apple trees is perfect for lounging on a deck chair in the sun with a cup of tea and a scone for sustenance. Or head out by punt with a picnic hamper.
• Great and Little Gransden Glimpse the real England! Take a bus (30 mins or so, bus no. 18, or 18A) from Drummer Street to the tiny ancient villages of Little and Great Gransden, which appear in the Magna Carta. Brimming with thatched cottage charm, horses and peaceful country walks, these villages offer escape into English village life. Pub food is available in both villages. Explore the ancient churchyards, the doll path in the meadow between them, and enjoy a leisurely hike around this tranquil village area. The Duncombe Arms in neighbouring Waresly serves excellent food, and offers BnB accommodation. Waresly is one or two hour walk from the riding stables at the bottom of Great Gransden. You could even join a horse trek. The undulating road offers wonderful views across farm land, and the ancient Waresly Wood, some of which is National Trust property. The 17th century open trestle post mill Windmill between The Gransden villages is unusually intact. It was last operational in 1912.
• Ely: Market town, with impressive Cathedral towering above the Fens (Ely used to be an island): regular trains and buses (9, X9, 12), or about two hours by cycle via NCN 51 to NCN 11.
• King's Lynn is well worth visiting for its wealth of architectural gems especially Nelson Street and Tuesday Market place. The explorer Vancouver came from here. Museums and churches and the largest brass in the country in St Mary's Church.
• Newmarket: Market town (in Suffolk), with a famous horse-racing venue, and everything horsey related including the National Horseracing Museum. Tu-Su 11AM-4:30PM (22 March - 30 October). Hourly trains and regular buses (10, 11, 12), or about two hours by cycle on NCN 51.
