Day 1: Oxford City

One day in Oxford is the perfect amount of time to discover its charm! If you have more time you can spread your activities out and explore more items from the map.

If you're driving from London, leave early and plan on 1-2 hours driving depending on traffic. You can also take a train which will take around 1 hour.

If you prefer a guided tour for everything listed in this day's itinerary (plus a few more sights!) then I would recommend booking this tour!

Tip: Oxford is a great place for independent exploring. Everything is within walking distance, and the charm is in the little streets, bookshops, and college quads.

Start the day by touring Bodleian Library! The library will include one to three of the following sites, depending on the length of tour you book:

Duke Humphrey's Library, The Divinity School, and Radcliffe Camera.
