Must‑Visit Spots in Cambridge for CATS Students: From Fitzwilliam to the Fitzwilliam

Studying at CATS Cambridge offers more than just world-class academics—it places students in one of the UK’s most historic and culturally rich cities. For international and domestic students alike, exploring Cambridge is an essential part of the experience. From academic landmarks to hidden gems, this student-friendly city is packed with places that inspire learning, creativity, and personal growth.

One of the most iconic destinations for CATS Cambridge students is the Fitzwilliam Museum. Just a short walk from campus, this world-class collection of art and antiquities is free to enter and offers students a chance to connect with global culture—from Ancient Egypt to Impressionist masterpieces. Whether used for research or relaxation, the museum is a must-visit space for those looking to enrich their educational journey outside the classroom.

Just around the corner, students can stroll past the Fitzwilliam College of the University of Cambridge, one of the many prestigious colleges that make up this historic institution. Its quiet gardens and inspiring architecture remind students daily of the academic legacy they are part of. For those aspiring to study at Oxbridge or another elite university, seeing these institutions up close adds tangible motivation.

Beyond these highlights, CATS students enjoy exploring the Cambridge Market Square, The Backs, and peaceful riverside walks along the Cam. Cafés, bookshops, student-friendly restaurants, and cultural events fill the calendar year-round. Our enrichment programme encourages students to explore safely and independently, helping them build confidence, awareness, and appreciation for life in the UK.
