During the summer is the life moved to the parks and streets. There is plenty of different festivals and activities during the summer. Cambridge is rich in nightlife and it provides plenty of fun in nightclubs or pubs.
Narrow streets like from Harry Potter movie are unforgettable. Approaching the city center you can come across to small vintage shops or farmer market. Also, there are museums where you can spend hours to study archaeology, biology or art.
To have a gastronomic experience you can visit traditional British pub or explore different cuisine.
