Cambridge City Guide
You simply have to start off your stay in Cambridge by exploring one of the many beautiful museums and art galleries that abound, whilst admiring the beautiful architecture and majestic college buildings of the famous University. Naturally this is all best achieved after a restful night spent at one of the Prestige serviced apartments in Cambridge!
The historic market place and Cambridge University's colleges with their quaint passages are an intoxicating mix. The market place is definitely the place where a unique and relaxing shopping experience can be found. A blend of independent shops mingle with high street brands making for a very pleasant shopping experience. Additionally, Norwich Street apartments are only minutes away from both the railway station and Cambridge city centre and are therefore best placed to offer you a much sought after central location. The Norwich Street apartments offer stunning one bedroomed serviced apartments in Cambridge city centre. Paradise Street apartments are very close to the well known Grafton Centre, and are therefore also well placed, and offer air conditioned one, two and three bedroom serviced apartments and are ideal as family holiday apartments or corporate and business apartments in the centre of Cambridge.
Relax in one of the many beautiful pubs, restaurants, tearooms and cafes along the river Cam or why not catch a student theatrical production, or perhaps a show at the Arts Theatre. There's also always live music or comedy on at the Corn Exchange. With only a 20 minute walk along the river into the historic heart of Cambridge, our Riverside Apartments would make an ideally tranquil base both for exploring Cambridge's treasures or the beautiful surrounding countryside with the many attractions that it has to offer. The Riverside Apartments in Cambridge offer modern and elegant 1, 2 and 3 bedroom serviced apartments.
