Prettier than larger rival Oxford, the cobbled center of this bike-loving university town bristles with castellated old colleges, creaky-floored Tudor pubs and tomb-quiet medieval churches. Photograph the Venetian-style Bridge of Sighs over the River Cam, then nose around the lavish Fitzwilliam Museum, which is like a mini British Museum. Highlights include filigree ceramics and Technicolor Egyptian sarcophagi. Fuel up at Fort St. George -- reputedly the city's oldest pub -- before dropping into King's College for a choral service at one of Britain'smost beautiful chapels
