Question

I am a teacher taking my students for a summer course in cambridge, we are all from Mexico and would love to know which places are a most in the list of sigthseeing and attractions particularly since they are really keen on visiting london and other popular places.

Answer 1

Well, there's Cambridge..!

The colleges, punting on the river Cam...

(some of the best free entertainment in the world, watching the tourists tryng to punt...)

The Imperial War Museum Duxford for a massive and  impressive collection of aircraft and military vehicles.

The pre-fab house there, an example of what many Britons lived in just after WW2 might prove a surprise.

Away from Cambridge, London, obviously.

I firmly recommend a river trip, to get a good view of London.

From Embankment pier (near the Houses of Parliament) at least to the Tower of London, or out to the Thames Barrier and back...  It's about the fastest way to put the centre of London in context, and it's easy on the feet.

There's also lots of other options for day-trips from Cambridge.
