"Cambridge is a great place to visit for everyone. To begin with this historic city offers beautiful architecture everywhere you look, and it is amazing to see how the city has built up around the university. Out of all the colleges to visit I would recommend King's. The chapel is awe inspiring and the organ is magnificent. The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology is free and offers collections from all over the world. The Botanic Garden is a fascinating place of wonder that inspires the imagination Cambridge University also takes part in Science Week once a year with activities ranging from learning how to create the perfect paper aeroplane to exploring the night's sky which cannot fail to create an interest in science for both the young and old.

If you're more of an active person then this city offers activities for you too. In the town centre there is a Laser Quest where you are armed with a 'gun' and sent to shoot the other team. Or, if you prefer sports, you could hire a tennis court in the park. Cambridge is also very cycle friendly and the best way to get around is on a bicycle."
