OXFORD
Oxford is an old student town, home of its world famous university (the oldest English-speaking university around the world). The city has a lot of activity, with many pubs, restaurants, parties, etc..

Oxford is known as the city of dreaming spires, and its main attraction are the different historic buildings of the university. The best way to discover them is wandering around the campus, although it should be noted that access to many of them is restricted to teachers and students. However, some of the schools and libraries can be visited.

The Bodleian Library (which is actually a complex of buildings) has a copy of every book published in England since 1610. There also is the historic Duke Humfrey's Library (XV century) and the Gothic Divinity School, with its magnificent vaulted ceiling open to the public.

The Ashmolean Museum was founded in 1683 and is the oldest in the United Kingdom. It covers 4000 years of history from the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome to the XX century. It has collections of art, archeology, sculpture, ceramics, musical instruments and much more.

Another museum to visit in Oxford is the Natural History Museum. The building is spectacular (inside and outside) and their collections, with replicas of dinosaur, elephants, crocodiles and other large animals skeletons, are impressive and allow visitors to touch them. The cabinets, almost endless, show rich collections of all aspects of natural history. Moreover, daily activities are specifically designed for children, the real users of this museum.
