Located along the River Cam, Cambridge is most well-known for being home to the University of Cambridge – one of the world’s leading universities founded in 1209. The city also claims some of England’s most beautiful churches and chapels including King’s College Chapel, a true masterpiece of English craftsmanship. Its close proximity to London also makes Cambridge a popular and easy ‘city getaway’ locale. Even though it is best known as a hub of knowledge and great scientists like Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and Stephen Hawking, Cambridge is a lively city that offers noteworthy landmarks, lush riverside gardens, a dynamic theater and arts scene, superb contemporary restaurants, traditional pubs, and world-class shopping!
