Transfer from Stansted Airport to Oxford
Before the University, before the colleges, Oxford is an architectural collection. The buildings perfectly blend the architectural styles of the past centuries. Most monuments belong to colleges and, unfortunately, only few of them are accessible to visitors. But don’t worry, they’re still many places you are allowed to see and the charm of Oxford can be seen almost everywhere so you will not have too much to lose. Any true visit to the Oxford cultural center should begin at The Oxford Story – an unconventional exhibition showing the Universities 800 years of history.
