Whether you're interested in the mysteries of antiquity or architecture, the Harry Potter filming or university, or all of the above, there are many interesting themed tours of Oxford to choose from!

Oxford's sights are elegant and intellectual. There are 38 colleges at the university, and visitors are most often interested in Christchurch, Magdalen, Trinity and Merton. Some of them can be seen from the inside. The magnificent Bodleian Library consists of several buildings, the most prominent of which is the Radcliffe Rotunda. The Sheldonian Theatre is a traditional venue for university events. Fans of antiquity will be drawn to the Ashmole Museum of Art and Archaeology, but there are plenty of open-air antiquities in and around Oxford.

Within the city limits, Old England is represented by Oxford Castle and Carfax Tower. In the surrounding countryside, where local guides will be happy to take you on a tour by car, you will be enchanted by such unique monuments as the White Horse (an artifact of primitive times), Dorchester Abbey, Waddesdon Manor and Blenheim Palace.

Oxford and its suburbs are full of memories of famous people who lived, studied and created here. "Centers of attraction for many of them were the city's pubs. For example, in "The Eagle and Child" sat Lewis and Tolkien, and in "Turf Tavern" – the future president of the United States Bill Clinton. It is impossible not to touch these time-keepers and sit in them with a pint of ale.
