Cambridge in General Reviews

I think it is tad unfair to leave your reviews on certain things because it is a matter of a taste. Like music, or food, or Cambridge! Therefore whether you like it or not depends on what you are looking for in the city. Cambridge is very beautiful, I agree with most of the reviews posted previously. It has long list of universities and ...  Read the complete review

It's been a while, and the prices have gone up, but one of the most romantic places to visit (especially if you're really into history like me) is Cambridge. This place, one of England's greatest historical cities, is definitely a treat. The streets are packed with interesting curios - little cobblestone walkways off the main roads hiding antique ...  Read the complete review

Hi only live 30 minutes drive from Cambridge, i would say this is a medium than rather than a large city with a population of around 110,000 probably more. Being a University city Cambridge is a very vibrant and lively city, with a relaxed atmosphere. There are plenty of bars, pub and clubs with plenty of venues to find live music and ...  Read the complete review

i''ve lived here for six months now, so i feel like i can accurately represent this city. coming to cambridge from the outside is a major culture sh ock, as much of the city hasn''t changed for hundreds of years. the university is very famous and distinguished, and is spread throughout the city, so that wherever you turn you turn you will find one ...  Read the complete review

Be prepared to be seriously underwhelmed if your idea of Cambridge is a glorious, posh, classy city full of culture. The bit by the river and the old University buildings is nice (in fact some of the old buiuldings around the centre of the city are very nice indeed), there are some big open parks, and there are some splendid churches ...  Read the complete review

I've lived in Cambridge for three years, and lived outside it for ten years prior to this. Cambridge has a reputation as a sleepy university town where not much happens. This is in some ways correct. The town is tiny and there is not a great deal to do. Nightlife is basically restricted to pubs or the cinema. There are a handful of ...  Read the complete review

I have had the pleasure of visiting Cambridge twice in the last few months and thought it deserving enough to write an opinion on. Cambridge’s main attractions are undoubtedly its colleges and of course its world famous university. It also boasts many other attractions such as museums, art galleries and theaters and some of ...  Read the complete review

Cambridge is a lot like Banchory really. Not many people, good schooling installments, plenty of hot chicks. As the city is built around the university, there are lots of student areas built to entertain and keep Students. that means good fashionable shops to. And because Cambridge is a good university, the city is a good place. ...  Read the complete review

This is an opinion of a part of Cambridge that many tourists miss. Did you know that Mill Road is the third biggest shopping area in Cambridge? Mill Road is a long road split in half by a railway bridge. It is an area of terrace housing and flats interspersed with businesses and shops, pub and drop-in centres. There are a wide variety of ...  Read the complete review

My son who is in his final year at primary school, today returned from his end of school holiday. He stayed at St Marks College in Audley End, however, when I asked him what was the highlight of the week he said Cambridge, it was brill. Not having ever been to Cambridge myself I asked him what was good about it - everything he ...  Read the complete review

- and if you're just going as a visitor, ignore the other, negative reviews here. It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, and certainly one of the prettiest in England. The architecture is amazing and some of the colleges really special - which is just as well because there isn't much else to do in Cambridge except ...  Read the complete review

Cambridge is just about 18 miles from my home town. And we have a very regular bus service to and from it. Cambridge, is a wonderful city in many ways. Firstly there are the parks, the river, the quaint cafe's, and some lovely views. there is also a mass of shops. The city has two main shopping centres. Firstly there is the main area ...  Read the complete review

Cambridge I have been to this city twice. This was one of cities I like in first sight. The city is so small that you can travel in one day. I could not decide if the university was in the city or if the city was in the university. The Cambridge University surrounds all the city and every building you see in the city belong to Cambridge ...  Read the complete review

Living just a 30 minute drive away from Cambridge I quite often take a day trip to explore this wonderful historic University City. It is a glorious city, steeped in history and I would say one of the most beautiful cities in the entire world. Cambridge is built upon the river Cam which meanders gracefully through the city centre. Here ...  Read the complete review

I've lived in Cambridge for 7 years now, and I've grown very fond of it. Previously I lived in London, which I also love, but the two places are worlds apart. The centre of Cambridge is quite small, so if you're a visitor or a student, it's very easy to get around. Most places of interest are within walking distance, ...  Read the complete review

There are very clear cut periods in Cambridge and we have just moved into the one which is the MOST annoying. The end of term feels rather nice with a feeling in the air of tension (where I can feel good as I'm not them) and then happiness when it is all over and then relaxation when they are just ticking off the days to leave, then ...  Read the complete review

Having studied in Cambridge I've had plenty of time to observe it in all seasons. It is a very student dominated town in term time and full of bikes. Cambridge is *very* bike oriented, so if you're planning on a visit by car, find somewhere outside of the town centre to park, it's a nightmare for drivers. A nice time of year ...  Read the complete review

A very strange place! Dominated by the University in the centre, Cambridge is full of students during term time, and conference guests during the holidays. It is of course a beautiful city, full of ivory towers. If you visit, you must go and see King's college chapel, take a walk along the river, and go punting. ...  Read the complete review

Cambridge is such a nice place, and the perfect place to visit during the spring when there are not too many other tourists around. It's a small city, and there isn't really a cracking club scene, but if you're looking for a romantic weekend with somebody special, then you could do a lot worse. The colleges are really quite ...  Read the complete review
