Cambridge

Situated on the banks of the River Cam, Cambridge is a historic town known as the home of Cambridge University, one of the world's top five higher educational institutions. Formerly known as Duroliponte- a Roman town in the province of Britannia, Cambridge is peppered with a number of Roman fortifications that date back to the first century. Among the city's top sights, the King's College Chapel is a masterpiece of the late Gothic English style and the Fitzwilliam Museum houses a host of art and antiquities of world importance like the Persepolis bas reliefs and paintings by artists Constable and Picasso. Tranquil gardens, stunning medieval structures steeped in history and picturesque cobbled streets promise a world apart in Cambridge.
