Oxford
A visit to Oxford is unique.
The sheer beauty of the city's colleges and riverside setting; national and international treasures, displayed in a 'family' of museums whose scope and scholarship is second to none; literary links and stunning film and TV locations; idyllic days by the river; shops with real character; music and drama ranging from candlelit evensong in college chapels to Shakespeare in the park.
These and other popular ingredients blend with Oxford's lively mix of restaurants, cafés, pubs and theatres to give this historic city its alluring vibrant and cosmopolitan buzz.
