Cambridge is best known as an English university town, but really, there's more to it than that. For one thing, the city's history can be traced back well before the Roman Empire. For another, it plays host to a delightful culture that revolves around theater, sports, and festivals. It has also played its role in some of the most famous English literary works.
Cambridge's largest theater, the Arts Theatre, plays host to various touring and amateur shows throughout the year. Cambridge also has the distinction of being instrumental in the start of modern football after members of its university drew up the first set of rules in 1848, which explains the locals' deep affection of the game. The numerous fairs and festivals it holds every year is not only legendary throughout Europe, but in much of the world. Most notable of which is the Midsummer Fair, the oldest fair in the UK. Indeed, Cambridge isn't just about academic study; it's a study in entertainment and fun!
