Top Attractions in Cambridge
💡 Go early in the morning before 9am—fewer tourists and the light hits the stonework well. Avoid sunny weekends when punters clog the path.
💡 Go on weekdays before 11am—school groups arrive later. Ask at the info desk for the free spotlights tour (Tues 1pm). Skip the temporary exhibition unless it's your thing—it costs extra.
💡 Continue to The Orchard tea garden for scones—cash only, no card. The path gets muddy after rain, so wear boots. Best from late April to September.
💡 Check the college website for free evensong services at 5:30pm on weekdays—you get in free and hear the choir. Arrive 15 minutes early.
💡 Entry is £8 but free for Cambridge residents with a library card. The best time is May-June when the irises are out. Bring a packed lunch—the café is overpriced.
