Most come to Cambridge to visit the hallowed halls of its prestigious 800-year-old university or marvel at the antiquities housed in the Fitzwilliam Museum, but there's more to see than these grand old institutions of academia.

    You could grab a bite to eat at one of the city's Michelin-starred restaurants, join the young students at one of the many summer festivals, or take to the waters zig-zagging down the River Cam on punts in search of a sunny picnic spot. Culture vultures could catch one of the year-round theatre productions or admire one of the country's greatest collections of 20th-century art at Kettle's Yard.
