dealchecker’s guide to Oxford

The main reason why most people visit Oxford (less than two hours from London) is to fancy themselves a student at the famous Oxford University or pay homage to C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and the Inklings. Although the university is not as exclusive as it used to be in the old days, the rowing contests between Oxford and Cambridge still take place and many of the colleges are not open to the public when the stressful time of important exams shows its face again to the students with a good scholarship or a copiously filled wallet. However, when they are accessible to the public, the thirty university 'castles' are a must-see.

The colleges are scattered all throughout town and altered with historical buildings showing the impressive architectural character of several periods. Take for example the Bodleain Libray, which is the second-largest library in the country. Magdalen College, with its cloisters and deer park, was the learning school of Oscar Wilde. Hertford College is the place to go to when you want to see one of Oxford's other famous sights, the Bridge of Sighs, which design was based on the Ponte dei Sospori in Venice.

Besides that, Oxford is prepared for its students and visitors and offers besides historical sights and several good museums, a vibrant shopping and commercial area with plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes. So it's up to you to decide whether you indulge in a rowing trip on the River Cherwell, walk the cobbled streets or see a Shakesperian play performed in one of the many theatres...
