Visiting Oxford

Those who come to the UK are very likely to put the city of Oxford as one of their top destinations that they simply need to see. There are many good reasons why this is the case. After all, the city of Oxford has a lot to offer to its visitors, and it is easily one of the most culturally rich places to visit in the whole of the UK. Below you will find a few ways you might want to visit Oxford this year:

.

.

1. By bike. It is cheap, it is healthy, it is convenient. the only drawback might be that you might either lose your bike or it might get stolen from you. I hope none if this is going to happen to you, but if you do choose to scout Oxford by bike make sure that you have enough food and water because there are simply so many things to see there that it can take you a whole day just to visit one corner of this wonderful city.

2. By foot. This is by far the most popular way to explore Oxford as you don’t have to constantly keep eye on your bike, and you don’t have to pay anything for bus fares. You can step literally in any part of the city and you can do it on your own terms and at your own pace. If you choose this path, you might want to take advantage of Oxford guided tours that will show you all those places in the city you have never heard about. If you care about history, choosing a knowledgable tour guide is one of the best things you can do while in Oxford.

3. By car. It might seem like the most convenient choice, and for many it might indeed be, but you will soon realise that there are many places in Oxford where cars and buses simply cannot go, and for this reason it might be a good idea to opt for guided tours.

There are many great ways to explore the glorious city of Oxford. The key here is to find something that works for you and possibly something that you have never tried before and would be excited to try out.
