Walk along the south bank of the River Cam at Midsummer Common. Look for houseboats moored quietly against the bank and enjoy the open space northeast of the city centre.

Head to Savinos for an authentic Italian espresso or cappuccino. It is widely considered the best in town and opens early enough to fit perfectly into your afternoon rhythm.

Walk five minutes to The Fort St George. This historic pub overlooks the Cam and Midsummer Common. It is one of the best places in town for a pub lunch or a Sunday roast, offering a chance to sit and watch the world go by.
