The city's population of more than 141,000 includes some
25,000 plus students. This, creates a city with a lively
atmosphere where there is always something to do or
somewhere to go. Here you'll find buildings which date
back to medieval times rubbing shoulders with shops and
offices and all the bustle of a modern city. Whatever your
interests you'll never tire of exploring and it's all
accessible on foot. One of the joys of the city is that a
car is unnecessary - bus services are excellent and there
are cycle lanes everywhere.
You'll find 17th century inns, the famous University of
Oxford Colleges, and plenty of architectural masterpieces
to marvel at including the Radcliffe Camera and Sheldonian
Theatre.
When you need to relax, green spaces are abundant and easy
to reach. You can take a relaxing stroll along the rivers
Thames or Cherwell or wander out into one of Oxford's
famous meadows. If you need a quick escape from the city
centre you can visit the Botanic Garden - the oldest in
the country. But if you would rather stay indoors, laid
back cafes and tempting sandwich bars offer the chance to
grab a coffee and hang out with friends or simply watch
the world go by.
