Oxford and Cambridge: the university spirit of Britain
Oxford and Cambridge are the two oldest universities in England, whose rivalry has lasted for several centuries. Our journey will begin in Oxford, where we will stroll along the streets that inspired Tolkien and Lewis. We will visit the Bodleian Library, one of the largest in Europe, and then head to Christ Church, the college that served as the prototype for the Great Hall of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films.
After getting to know the academic atmosphere of Oxford, we will go to Cambridge, famous for its picturesque canals and majestic colleges. We will take a traditional boat ride along the River Cam, admiring the architecture of King's College and the Bridge of Sighs. At the end of the tour, we will stroll along the old streets, enjoying the special atmosphere of this university city.
