Home to the oldest University in Britain, Oxford is an architectural marvel. Explore all it has to offer aboard a City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off bus, with one fantastic route and 19 bus stops.

Hop on the City and University tour, starting at the Railway Station, and head to Park End Street where you can hop off and take in the view of the Castle Mill Stream, a hidden treasure of Oxford. Fancy a bit of shopping during your trip? Hop off at the fabulous Westgate Shopping Centre.

Hop back on and ride past some of the old-style colleges, some of which date back to the early 14th century. You'll be able to see Brasenose College, The Queen's College and the Trinity College gates very clearly from up high on the open-top buses. Hop back off the old Sheldonian Theatre or at the famous Browns restaurant.

Update your Oxford experience with the ticket including the 45-minute Stepping Through Oxford walking tour and entrance to the top of the Carfax Tower.
