My Oxford Guide
Description:
There's an art to getting to know a city, especially in a limited timespan. By taking you to all corners of the city and letting you chill in a cafe and soak up the atmosphere and tasty food, this guide gives you more than the tourist hotspots can offer. You will see where the Oxford locals hang out, get chatting to regulars in pubs, and discover the real charm of Oxford. You will unavoidably become steeped in the city's rich culture and history by being a living part of it. Enjoy!

Day 1 - Oxford
You arrive and delve straight into the heart of Oxford, Christ Church college. You can spend hours wandering the meadow, maybe even hire a punt or have a picnic by the river. Cafe CoCo is in the hip east end of town, enjoy the best coffee here. The UPP, owned by Phillippa the most awesome Oxford dudette is an intimate, budget cinema. Then head to the Turf down winding alleys to sample the strength of Oxford cider! End up fittingly locked away in Malmaison- a converted prison with an eerie, original atmosphere.

Wake up and take a turn across Port Meadow and wander at the wild horses and massive sky. End your walk in The Trout for some delicious local food by the river. In the afternoon, check out the Ashmolean, a must even for the most modern character having been recently refurbished with a modern art gallery and cool roof-top cafe. For tea, try a Ben's Cookie, the description says it all! Then head to the Duke for unbelievable cocktails at 3.50 quid a pop-bargain! Have fun!
