Manager recommends: If you're visiting Oxford on a cheap city break you must try punting on the river - it’s so much fun! For a great afternoon check out the Pitts Rivers Museum and Oxford Castle. Explore the University Colleges, work up an appetite and get fantastic views of the city’s dreaming spires by climbing the church’s 13th century tower. Head to the covered market in Cornmarket Street for shopping and amazing local food, before sampling some of the local bars and nightlife the city has to offer.
