Attractions

Tourism is a big part of Cambridge's economy with many of the University Colleges open to the Public at set times. The river Cam gets crowded with punts during the summer and its banks full of pepole picnicing and watching the world go by. If you are visiting, then walking or cycling is strongly advised.
