Travel to oxford
I suggest you take a trip to the good old Oxford, go around the most famous colleges and touch their history. You'll stroll through the corridors of Hogwarts and visit the famous Bodleian Library, buy Alice's favorite sweets from Lewis Carroll's novel, and see Stradivarius violins. In one day, we will bypass the most interesting nooks and crannies of Oxford, talking about local centuries-old traditions and legends that give this place an incredible atmosphere.
What awaits you
Traditions of Christ
Church College
You will visit one of the largest aristocratic colleges in Oxford - Christ Church College, famous for its graduates, among which there were as many as 13 British prime ministers, as well as beautiful scenery from the harry potter movie: you will see "those same" corridors, dining room, stairs, courtyard and other corners of Hogwarts. You'll explore the legendary Bodleian Library, Radcliffe Rotunda and the Sheldonian Theatre, as well as learn about interesting local traditions, such as the famous United Souls College duck hunting.
History and collections of the Ashmoline
Museum
You will visit the famous Ashmoline Museum, where a collection of Stradivarius violins is kept, including one of the most famous works of the master - "Messiah". Here is the oldest collection of rings, which served as the idea for the famous "Lord of the Rings" by Tolkien. And it was in this museum that the unsolved theft of a painting by Cezanne took place on New Year's Eve 1999 ...
The most iconic places in
Oxford
It is impossible to ignore the iconic bar for Oxford students, where at one time brilliant politicians, writers and scientists sat, being still unknown students. You'll visit Alice's Shop, featured in Lewis Carroll's novel, where you can taste Alice's favorite sweets and buy souvenirs from the Looking Glass. Walk under the Bridge of Sighs and learn about the student traditions associated with it. And at the end of the walk we will visit... Prison. No, that's a joke! We will go to a real prison, but with some features, which I will tell you about when meeting :)
If we have time, we can visit other interesting places in Oxford: the Kerfax Tower, from which a picturesque panorama of the city opens, or Magdalen College, the high bell tower of which is considered a symbol of the city.
