Cambridge is, quite simply, a great place to be; a picturesque city where the pace of life can change to match your mood. Its world-famous ancient buildings, neatly trimmed parks and willow-lined river give the entire city an atmosphere of grandeur and tranquillity. While if it's excitement you desire, its facilities and close proximity to London attract a bustling, high quality, retail and entertainment scene.

The city has become a popular shopping venue with a huge array of choice, from independent and artisan shops to designer fashions and boutiques side by side with all the big high street names. Grand Arcade and The Grafton Centre are the two major retail destinations, both set amongst charming surroundings and historic architecture, making for a truly enjoyable experience.

The city is awash with ways to spend your spare time, whether it's exploring the museums and galleries, enjoying a once-in-a-lifetime show or concert, getting active at one of the many sporting facilities or simply taking a stroll out and about for a breath of fresh air.

At night, the streets are alive with an upbeat atmosphere and plenty of entertainment options including Michelin star restaurants, boutique cafes, buzzing nightclubs and a vast range of pubs.
