The city of dreaming spires has something for everyone, making it a must-visit for history lovers, shoppers, and those who simply enjoy relaxing in an atmospheric setting. Bursting with architectural gems and historic wonders, and full of unique places to eat and shop, it's a buzzing destination that's only an hour's train ride from London. Best of all, the key sights are all within easy walking distance of each other.
College connection
Many of Oxford's top sights are tied to its ancient university. The Bodleian Library houses over 13 million printed items, including such treasures as Shakespeare's First Folio, manuscripts by Jane Austen and a copy of Magna Carta. Not surprisingly, its stunning vaulted chambers have appeared in several Harry Potter films. Guided tours, from 30 to 90 minutes long, are held daily (visit.bodleian.ox.ac.uk).
