Cambridge Family Holiday

Cambridge is ideal for a family holiday and days out. With a wide range of activities throughout the year, Cambridge is known worldwide for its university colleges but there is much more to this cathedral city than academia.

Winding its way through the city centre, the River Cam offers plenty of activities for a memorable family holiday. During the summer, visitors can enjoy swimming, punting, and canoeing on the river, and, of course, rowing takes place throughout the year. In addition, exploring Cambridge provides the chance to visit the University, Wren Library, and the Cambridge University Botanic Gardens. For the best experience, take a punt tour along the River Cam, as most of the historic colleges are located near the city centre and along the river, offering stunning views and an authentic glimpse of the city’s architectural heritage.

Cambridge City Center Hotel

The Varsity Hotel is located in Cambridge city centre, just a 7-minute walk from Senate House and the closest hotel to most of the university colleges. Our 44 luxury bedrooms and suites are uniquely designed to celebrate the cultural history of Cambridge and are the ideal home from home for a family with older children when visiting Cambridge.
