Cambridge is a fantastic place to stay at any time of the year but during the Summer it really springs into life. The scenery and the attractions available are second to none. Combine that with the tradition and atmosphere surrounding the city and you really do have a perfect holiday combination.

The great news is that holidaying in Cambridge does not have to cost you an arm and a leg. Most of the attractions are a nominal cost, if not free, and you can easily Bed and Breakfast Cambridge without a problem.

There is an abundance of B&B’s scattered all the way up Newmarket Rd which is the main thoroughfare into town. If you are staying up the top end of the road a walk into the town centre and the colleges should take you no more than 20 minutes. This is a great walk as you can cut across Parkers Piece where the students like to hang out and play football in between studying and sample the true Cambridge atmosphere.

If you are a bit further out it’s not a problem as there are good bus connections all the way into the city form the Park and Ride on Newmarket Rd. If you are feeling really lazy you can always get a taxi which shouldn’t cost you more than £5-6 (€8-10).  Read more...
