🇬🇧 The Ultimate Cambridge Day Trip Guide (By a Cambridge Grad) 🎓✨

🚆 Getting There Trains from London: King’s Cross (with Platform 9¾!) or Liverpool Street From Cambridge Station: Take U/A bus (10min to centre)—don’t walk 30mins! 🏛️ Must-Visit Colleges ("The Big Three") 1️⃣ King’s College 👑 Must-see: Chapel, Xu Zhimo’s stone, and that bridge view Photo hack: Sit in chapel pews for Dark Academia vibes 2️⃣ St John’s College ⛪ (My fave!) Open only in holidays—or bribe a student with bubble tea to sneak you in Secret spot: Fisher Building toilets (rare in Cambridge!) 3️⃣ Trinity College 🍏 Newton’s Apple Tree (outside gate—it’s a descendant, but shh) Hidden gem: Wren Library (12-2PM): See Newton’s hair, prism, and Principia! 🎓 Other Colleges Queens’: Skip £5 Old Hall, just see Mathematical Bridge Corpus: Best lawn + Chronophage clock (eats time!) Pembroke/Downing: Free and lovely 🍽️ Student-Approved Eats Jack’s Gelato: Salt caramel = life-changing Aromi: Sicilian pizza slices 🍕 The Eagle: Where DNA was announced (food’s average, but history!) 🛍️ Shopping Cambridge Uni Press Shop: Cheapest souvenirs Ryder & Amies: Best scarves/ties 💡 Pro Tips Punting: Avoid touts—book Scudamore’s (£20/haggled) Toilets: Pret or Grand Arcade—trust me. #CambridgeInsider #OxbridgeSecrets #UKTravel
