King's College Chapel

King's Parade · normally £17

With your pass: Entry to the Chapel and college grounds

Built over almost seventy years from 1446, King's College Chapel is the building most people picture when they think of Cambridge. Inside is the largest fan-vaulted ceiling in the world, some of the finest medieval stained glass in England, and Rubens' Adoration of the Magi behind the altar.

Give yourself an hour: walk the length of the nave, then go out onto the lawns that run down to the river and the Backs.

How to use your pass

Scudamore's Punting

Quayside · normally £41

With your pass: 45-minute shared punt tour along the Backs

Punting along the Backs is the classic Cambridge view: the river runs behind the colleges, so from the water you see the lawns and buildings of St John's, Trinity, Clare, King's and Queens' as they were meant to be seen.

On a shared tour a guide does the punting and tells the stories along the way, under the Bridge of Sighs and past the Mathematical Bridge.

How to use your pass
Show your pass at the Quayside punting station. Staff swipe your pass in the app and give you a place on the next shared tour.
Good to know
Tours run in most weather. On sunny summer afternoons the river is busy, so go earlier in the day for a calmer trip.

Cambridge United

Abbey Stadium, Newmarket Road · normally £25 · book ahead

With your pass: Free adult match ticket for a home match

The U's play at the Abbey Stadium, a proper old-fashioned football ground a short bus ride or 30-minute walk from the centre.

If your day lands on a home match day, it's a brilliant way to finish: a different side of Cambridge from the colleges and chapels.

How to use your pass
Book a home match ticket on Cambridge United's website using the code from your app, then check in from the app at the ground.
Good to know
Only on home match days. Check the fixture list before you plan around it.

University Botanic Garden

Bateman Street · normally £8

With your pass: Garden and glasshouse entry

Forty acres of gardens ten minutes' walk south of the centre, opened on this site in 1846. There's a lake, a rock garden and some magnificent trees, plus a run of glasshouses that are warm and green even in winter.

It's the place to slow down at the end of a busy day, and on a wet day the glasshouses are worth the visit by themselves.

How to use your pass

Fitzbillies

Trumpington Street · normally £4.50

With your pass: Free Chelsea bun with any hot drink

A Cambridge bakery since 1920 and famous for one thing above all: the sticky, spiced Chelsea bun.

It's opposite the Fitzwilliam, which makes it the obvious place to start the day or to stop between the museum and the Botanic Garden.
