Loved seeing the old historic buildings and especially the buildings that surround the center. It does get a bit boring if you are staying there for more than a couple days. But it has great transport and feels very safe

Cambridge is really close to Stansted airport, i just took a train to go there. It is a place full of history and you can feel the studious and chill atmosphere. Do not hesitate to do a river tour. You will see the back of the universities with some informations from your guide and it worth it.
Posted: May 13, 2024I went to Cambridge to study for a week. it was my first trip abroad and I was alone, as an anxious person I can say that Cambridge is safe, people are helpful and kind. it is a very popular place for tourists and students, full of parks and it's quite clean. it's easy to find your way around (except for the parks... they're all similar and I always got lost), I used the bus to move from one side of the city to the other, but it's also doable on foot, however the ticket didn't cost much. I was there to study in the morning, so I had breakfast and then went to class, during the afternoon I loved going to the bookshop (Waterstones) and ate at Byron's (the best burgers I've ever eaten). I often went to the park or visited nearby towns (for example, I saw Shakespeare's house). I had a budget of £100, and I came home with some left over. It's a truly beautiful place, I fell in love with it.

Safe city. Surely depends on which area however central and north Cambridge are very safe. Just use logic like not walking late in secluded roads. However, even personally I have had to walk late at night with no worries or problems!

Cambridge is very safe city that is wonderful to explore as a solo traveler. It’s very walkable and cyclable and the area between city centre and train station is very safe. There can be few homeless people in the centre and more people drinking in the centre at night but I would just keep normal safety measures. I live here for over 3 years and have never any unpleasant situation.
