A weekend in Cambridge

Cambridge rivals Oxford as Britain's oldest university town. The set-piece visit is King's College Chapel (the largest fan-vaulted ceiling in the world) and the Fitzwilliam Museum (free, world-class antiquities). Hire a punt on the Cam and float past the Backs for the iconic view.
