Mini guide to Oxford

The educational and cultural centre of Oxford should be high on anyone's itinerary, and can keep you occupied for several days. The university buildings include some of England's finest architecture, and the city also boasts some excellent museums and numerous bars and restaurants.

Both the Oxford Story and the Museum of Oxford tell the history of the City and University. As the birthplace of Alice in Wonderland and on set location of Hogwarts Hall in the Harry Potter films, Christchurch is a 'must-see', whilst internationally-renowned museums such as the Ashmolean Museum and the Museum of Modern Art provide something for all ages. Punting and cruising on the Isis and Cherwell make popular summer pastimes, whilst a walking tour or an open-top bus tour provide great introductions to the city and are available all year round. Parks and meadows in and around the city centre are peaceful places in which to walk, picnic or simply admire the views.

Oxford's college and cultural atmosphere combines to create a great variety of quality evening entertainment. Live entertainment includes drama, dance, ballet, opera and musicals performed by leading national and international companies at the Apollo and Oxford Playhouse, and student productions and concerts held in historic settings such as a the Sheldonian Theatre or Christchurch Cathedral. Pubs, clubs and cafes provide the venues for jazz, comedy and other gigs. For food lovers, the city centre market has a great range of food stalls selling game, seafood, home baked bread, spices and other delights. There's also no shortage of places to eat: from the gourmet to the street side café.

The hinterland regions turn up some pleasant surprises. Oxfordshire boasts several charming historic towns and villages, such as Faringdon and Kidlington, as well as important natural areas like Port Meadow.

Oxford is well served by road and rail networks to London which give fast and direct access locally, nationally and from Europe.
