Oxford

Primarily known for its world-famous 800-year old university, Oxford is a must-visit destination for the rich history and the stunning honey-colored buildings of its colleges. At the university, make sure to explore and learn about its historic structures that feature various architectural feats such as the gorgeous Radcliffe Camera, before you stop by the magnificent Ashmolean Museum, which showcases collections that include priceless art pieces and archaeological artifacts. However, there's more to Oxford than just the prestigious university — immerse yourself in the unique mix of the past & present as you check out the vast parklands and enjoy a refreshing drink or two at a local pub.

Travel guides & tips for Oxford

Food & drinks
Ok let's be real. Wine is lovely. But - it is also confusing, there is so much to know about it if you want to order like a pro instead of simply asking for ‘the biggest glass you have’ or ordering the second cheapest on the wine menu... (hint: everyone knows this and the menu is designed accordingly).
