Presentazione generale

Cambridge and Ely

University town, colleges, Cam River, museums and easy excursion to Ely Cathedral and the Fens.

The discovery of Cambridge and Ely revolves around King's College Chapel, The Backs and Ely Cathedral. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage, riverscapes and the countryside, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

Vedi tutto

For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be expected: very touristic center and reservations useful for some colleges. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Luoghi imperdibili

Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.

University chapel

King's College Chapel

4,8 / 5· Hidengo45 minutes at 1.15 a.m.

King's College Chapel concentrates Cambridge's elegance in a space of great precision, with fan vaults, stained glass windows and proportions that impose silence. The visit is short but intense, especially when combined with the nearby courses and a walk along the Cam.

River walk

The Backs

4,7 / 5· Hidengo45 min at 1:30 am

The Backs offers one of Cambridge's softest walks, between lawns, colleges, bridges and reflections on the Cam. On foot or from a boat, the landscape reveals the university city by the back, with a less solemn elegance than the main courses.

Museum

Fitzwilliam Museum

4,6 / 5· Hidengo1 hr 30 min to 2 hr 30 min

Fitzwilliam Museum gathers art, antiques and precious objects in a classic setting that contrasts with the bustle of university streets. The collection is large, but a targeted tour works very well: choosing a few rooms allows you to keep the attention fresh and enjoy the richness of the place.

Cathedral

Ely Cathedral

4,7 / 5· Hidengo1 hr 30 min to 2 hr 30 min

Ely Cathedral appears above the Fens with a presence that explains its nickname of ship of the marshes. Inside, the nave, painted ceilings and Octagon create a very singular impression of space, especially strong for those who love cathedrals where architecture and landscape respond.
