City in United Kingdom

Oxford

3 things to see

Oxford’s “dreaming spires” and ancient college quads make for one of England’s most beautiful free walks, and wandering the streets, the covered market, and the riverside meadows costs nothing. Some colleges charge a small entry fee, but the views from the street and the open green spaces are free, so a rich day here can stay cheap. It compares well with fellow university city Cambridge, and frequent buses make it an easy, low-cost day trip from London.
