Oxford has a ton of history that is waiting to be explored! You can either walk the city on foot, which I highly recommend, or hop on one of their sightseeing tour buses. The main circuit in the City Centre goes from Broad Street round towards Magdalen College at the other end, and it’s only 30 minutes long. The university buildings date back as far as the 12th Century, with many more centuries worth exploring.Oxford Universities open doors during summer time

These buildings are treasure places of calm and peace, where you can stop time, sit down, and enjoy the sunshine.Oxford Town and UniversitiesOxford Old Town Brighton has a lot of great independent shops, but Oxford is not so lucky. Compared to Brighton’s High Street, which is full of exciting places and things, Oxford’s High Street seems like one endless chain store after another. You can find some nice restaurants or coffee spots if you’re patient enough, though—make your way over to The Turf Tavern for an authentic English experience!Oxford old town
