Restaurants
A classic Cambridge gastro-pub / restaurant located in the centre of Cambridge. Great food, and a good selection of drinks. It is actually located in the University Debating Society - so you may see lots of students getting ready for debates!

For some reason there are loads of pubs in Cambridgeshire that serve Thai food. This is the best (In my opinion!).

A restaurant but more notably Gin bar! They have lots of different gins available (50+) and plenty of niche pints & ciders on draught. Get a classic Scotch Egg at the bar and enjoy a drink.

Sightseeing
Wander down Kings Parade to see Kings College Chapel, as well as other beautiful University buildings.
Lots of people grab a snack from the market (in Market Square) and eat it on the grass by the Chapel. Walk down Garrett Hostel Lane and over the bridge, and then walk down "The Backs" where you can see the College Chapel from the other side of the river.

Punting! A Classic Cambridge tour. You can either hire a punt yourself or jump on a Punt Tour where the Tour Guide will point out the different colleges and give you lots of facts. Both are great, it gives you a completely different view of Cambridge (often not able to be seen from roads!). You can take your own drinks on either punt option, it is very common for people to take a bottle of prosecco and some glasses!

If you would like a walk, head to Newnham and walk down Grantchester Meadows. Grantchester is a cute little village outside Cambridge, with a couple of pubs which serve food. Lots of people take picnics down to the Meadows. You can also hire Paddle Boards and Canoes in Cambridge to get there via the river.

Walk along the river path to Baits Bite Lock, cross over, and head to the village of Fen Ditton. Then back the other side of the river to Cambridge. Lovely walk watching rowers.

Scooters / Bikes
There are lots of Voi E-scooters and bikes around for you to use. If you download the app, you can hire them by the minute. If you think you will use it a lot in one day, then I would recommend getting a 24h pass, there are lots of Voi's in town, so you should not struggle to find one!

Watch out for bikes
Just a note that in Cambridge the bikes rule the road! Just be wary of bikes when you are walking around, as lots of cyclists will cheekily skip red lights.

Restaurant bookings
During the summer and at weekends, restaurants often get booked up. If there is somewhere you are desperate to go to, I would recommend booking.
