Oxford

The original university city

Overview

Oxford is defined entirely by its university β€” the oldest in the English-speaking world. The city centre is compact and almost entirely pedestrianised, with university buildings and college quads around every corner. For North Americans, this creates an immersive, all-in academic experience unlike anywhere else.
