Oxford Vacation Guide

Oxford, The "City of dreaming spires", is home to the University of Oxford and Ashmolean Museum - Britain's oldest museum.

Oxford is a young vibrant cosmoplitan city, where everyone appears to use a bicycle. Yet in just a few minutes from the busy city centre you can retreat to the peace of Christ Church meadow, or any college garden or you could retire to the tranquillity of the Botanic Gardens and sit by the Cherwell River watching punts pass by. If you feel adventurous you could even have a go at punting yourself.

Oxford holds an abundance of classical art and a museum of modern art. It has a great tradition of choral music: the choirs of Magdalen, Christchurch and New College are world renowned. It is also a leading centre of scientific and medical research

In recent years Oxford has developed into a truly international city, attracting students and tourists from all over the world.

The city’s location is at the heart of the country. This makes it equidistant from London, Stratford, Bath or Stonehenge. The transport network from London and Heathrow is excellent and a journey takes just over an hour.

A great way to see the city is by going on a guided walking tour. You'll get the story behind the buildings.

(As a side note, some of you may be interested in knowing that oxford is regulary used to film tv shows and movies, some of the scenes in Harry Potter and The Golden Compass movies were recorded in Christchurch College).
