AU$46 Oxford accommodation

Sitting in the southeast region of England is one of the most ethnically diverse and fastest-growing cities in the United Kingdom. Oxford is a blend of medieval scenery, modern industry and Oxford University. Oxford hotels put you at the forefront of this metropolitan frontier.

Things to Do in Oxford

The buildings of the cityscape look like they were plucked from a history book about the Middle Ages. Stop by the Oxford University Museum of Natural History—follow the Megalosaurus footprints to the front door. Step into Dr. Alan Grant’s shoes and check out the reconstructions of famous dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops.

A 98 km drive southeast will bring you to the gates of the Tower of London, where royalty and prisoners shared walls. Explore the White Tower, where the oldest church in London is located: St. John’s Chapel. One of its most astounding exhibits is in Martin Tower, where the Crown Jewels are kept. The sheer magnitude of the regalia will give you a swift kick to the solar plexus. Feel like seeing more? Book a hotel near The Tower of London —not in it.
