Glide beneath ancient stone bridges on a punt along the River Cam, where college gardens sweep dramatically to the water's edge. King's College Chapel rises like a medieval spaceship, its fan-vaulted ceiling defying both gravity and comprehension. The Fitzwilliam Museum houses treasures that elsewhere would be crown jewels but here merely constitute 'the local collection.' Students pedal ancient bicycles through cobbled streets, their academic gowns billowing like scholarly superhero capes. Duck into The Eagle pub where Watson and Crick announced they'd discovered 'the secret of life' while ceiling graffiti from WWII pilots tells quieter stories. Market Square vendors offer everything from local cheeses to quantum physics textbooks – this is Cambridge, after all.
