Explore Europe Cambridge, England Podcast Episode Show Notes Here are the show notes from our Explore Europe Cambridge episode brought to you by Used Car Guys!  The University City of Cambridge comprises 31 Colleges and over 150 departments, museums and other institutions. Founded in 1209 and granted a Royal Charter by King Henry III in 1231, Cambridge is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world and the world's fourth-oldest surviving university. You will see stunning examples of architecture just by walking through the cobbled streets of the city centre and Kings Parade, but the best way to see many of the central Colleges is to take a punt tour along the ‘Backs’ of the colleges that are situated along the River Cam.  This is a really special episode for me and John to share because we go back to our home share some of our favourite places. There really is so much packed into this episode, we tried to fit so much in!    Here are the links from our Explore Europe Cambridge, England episode:   Getting to Cambridge Trains from Stansted to Cambridge: https://www.thetrainline.com/train-times/stansted-airport-to-cambridge-station Buses from Stansted to Cambridge: http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/Landing/route.aspx?to=Cambridge&from=Stansted Trains from London Kings Cross to Cambridge (also from Liverpool Street, which takes about 30 mins longer: https://www.thetrainline.com/train-times/london-kings-cross-to-cambridge-station   Staying in Cambridge The Tamburlaine Hotel (pretty fancy - near train station): https://www.thetamburlaine.co.uk The University Arms Hotel (pretty fancy -very central): https://universityarms.com Prospero Homes Apartments: http://www.prosperohomes.co.uk Duke House (gorgeous guest house - very central): http://dukehousecambridge.co.uk University Students Rooms (very limited but very cool!):  https://www.speedybooker.com/en-GB/group/default.aspx?g=cambridge&brand=wl&partnerid=79&page=%2fen-GB%2fgroup%2fdefault.aspx   Things to Do & See in Cambridge Cambridge Tourist Website: https://www.visitcambridge.org/ University of Cambridge Visitor Guide: https://www.cam.ac.uk/files/visitor_guide.pdf Hop on hop off bus: https://city-sightseeing.com/en/87/cambridge Visitors Guide to Colleges, Museums & Events at the University of Cambridge (note the Zoology Museum is now completely renovated and opened and highly recommended!): https://fusion2018.eng.cam.ac.uk/univisitorguide Cambridge American Cemetery: https://www.abmc.gov/cemeteries-memorials/europe/cambridge-american-cemetery#.WxobAi-B1Bw Cambridge University Museums & Collections: https://www.museums.cam.ac.uk The Botanic Garden: http://www.botanic.cam.ac.uk/Botanic/Home.aspx The Round Church (one of the four medieval round churches still in use in England): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Sepulchre,_Cambridge Let’s Go Punting (friendly punt company - book in advance): https://www.letsgopunting.co.uk Great St. Mary’s Church (walk up to the top for great views): http://www.gsm.cam.ac.uk The Cambridge Union Debating Society: https://www.cus.org Ely Cathedral: https://www.elycathedral.org/visit     Pubs & Bars 1815 Bar at The Cambridge Union: https://www.1815-bar.co.uk The Eagle Pub on Benet Street: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eagle,_Cambridge Kings College: http://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/visit/index.html Kings College Chapel Evensong: http://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/events/chapel-services The Red Lion Pub in Granchester: http://www.redliongrantchester.co.uk The Rupert Brooke Pub in Granchester: https://www.therupertbrooke.com The Green Man Pub in Granchester: http://www.thegreenmangrantchester.co.uk The Cambridge Gin Distillery: http://www.cambridgedistillery.co.uk Six Roof Top Bar at The Varsity Hotel: https://www.sixcambridge.co.uk Novi Roof Top Bar in Regent Street: http://novicambridge.co.uk   Restaurants & Food Restaurant 22 (it’s on Chesterton Road, not Chesterton Lane as we say in the podcast): http://www.restaurant22.co.uk Midsu
