What People Are Saying About Colchester

University of Cambridge

柳叶随风VLog
Cambridge University is an open town, consisting of 31 independent colleges, of which Trinity College is located in the center of the town. It is known as the cradle of prime ministers because it has produced 20 British prime ministers. It is also the alma mater of Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple. The scenery on both sides of the River Cam is charming and picturesque. The historic buildings, towering clock towers, exquisite statues, beautiful gardens, etc. are all full of strong cultural atmosphere.

Having a boat trip in Cambridge can give a good experience of punting on the River Cam and also get lots of interesting stories about each college at the University of Cambridge. However, the cost of it is quite expensive.

Colchester Zoo

Such a nice zoo and very cheap entrance fees! Saw plenty and they even let you handle the slimy creatures on offer :o

Tower Bridge

Weraa
nice place on the London map, a bit walk from the Big Ben statue but also worth visit. Nice view when driving London bus and sitting upstairs:)

St. Paul's Cathedral

M28***05
It is convenient to get the ticket, and it is especially worth a visit. The high dome, exquisite decoration, and self-guided tour guide can choose Chinese. You can climb the stairs to the top terrace, where you can see the city view of London from afar: the London Eye is in the distance.

Westminster Abbey

M43***41
Although it was a rainy day, the grandeur of Westminster Abbey was not affected at all. Every carving, every column, every piece of glass, and every stone carving in the building carried the weight of history. I was shocked by every trace of history and marveled at the power of inheritance.

Royal Observatory Greenwich

Trip.com Ticket purchase is very convenient and fast. It is located in Greenwich Park. The scenery is beautiful and the mood is comfortable. The attractions are not big but it is worth watching carefully. Learn about the deep experience.

London Eye

轩sa
The London Eye is an amazing Ferris wheel on the banks of the Thames. From inside the glass cabin, you can enjoy the stunning views of London. During the ride, famous landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the Fragment Building have a panoramic view. On a clear day, even a glimpse of Windsor Castle 25 miles away is a visual feast! 🌅 In the evening, the sunset is so beautiful that people are intoxicated; at night, the bright lights are even more unique. Visit time: about 30 minutes Online booking price: - 16 years old and above: £45 - 2-15 years old: 40.5 Opening hours: - Monday to Friday: 11am-6pm - Saturday and Sunday: 10am-8: 30pm
