Introducing a fresh, updated edition of a Pitkin best seller. This great
city has almost 40 colleges, each a part of the other, tightly
interwoven. You'll discover cobbled streets, looking much as they did
hundreds of years ago, old wooden doors that open to offer enticing
glimpses of mown lawns, neat quadrangles and ancient staircases leading
into the heart of the colleges. Gaze skywards and see great bell towers,
carved figures and slim spires piercing the clouds. The ancient beauty
is enlivened by all the charms of a modern city - theatres, galleries,
bookshops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants. Today's tourists can enjoy
these 21st-century comforts while exploring the buildings and
discovering the treasures of one of the greatest university cities in
the world.
