Is a holiday rental in Cambridge worth it?
A holiday apartment in Cambridge offers you the perfect combination of independence and comfort. Enjoy Fascinating culture and experience Cambridge like a local – with your own retreat after an action-packed day.
Cambridge is Oxford's eternal rival and one of the most beautiful university cities in the world — a city where the meadows (Backs) of the colleges gently slope down to the River Cam and punts glide under ancient bridges. Since 1209, Newton, Darwin, Hawking, and 121 Nobel laureates have studied here — more than at any other institution in the world.
King's College Chapel is Cambridge's crown jewel: The largest fan-vaulted ceiling in the world spans the nave, 26 monumental stained glass windows tell biblical stories in vibrant colors, and Rubens' Adoration of the Magi adorns the altar. The annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols on Christmas Eve is broadcast worldwide on the radio.
Punting on the Cam is Cambridge's most romantic tradition: The route along the Backs leads under the Bridge of Sighs (St John's), the Mathematical Bridge (Queens'), and past the immaculate lawns of the colleges — where only fellows are allowed to walk, as legend has it.
The Fitzwilliam Museum houses one of the best art collections outside London: From Egyptian sarcophagi to Titian and Monet to Picasso and Hockney — and admission is free. The library of Trinity College preserves Newton's own copies of the Principia Mathematica and Milne's original manuscript of Winnie-the-Pooh.

Best art collection outside London: Egyptian sarcophagi to Hockney, free admission in a neoclassical masterpiece.
Allegedly built without nails (legend!): the wooden bridge over the Cam at Queens' College is one of the most photographed motifs.
Here, Watson and Crick announced the discovery of the DNA structure in 1953: historic pub with RAF graffiti on the ceiling from World War II.
