Museums

Cambridge has no shortage of intriguing museums. Whether you’re interested in science, art, history, or something else, you’ll find plenty of fascinating options. Bounce suggests including the following museums on your itinerary.

• The Center for Computing History: This interactive museum holds computers from as far back as the 1960s. It’s fascinating to see the evolution of the computer from an enormous device to the compact home computer, to the devices we use nowadays. The exhibits also include gaming consoles and many opportunities to interact with the devices. Kids are sure to love the interactive aspect of the museum, while adults will feel a sense of nostalgia. You will need to drop off your luggage and backpack at a Bounce location before heading to the museum since those items are not permitted in the museum.
• Fitzwilliam Museum: If you’re a fan of antiquities, you’ll be intrigued by this collection. You’ll find items from Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, Japan, Korea, among other locations. From paintings to manuscripts, ceramics, weapons, jewelry, armor, and beyond, there are many treasures inside this expansive museum. Large bags are not permitted inside, so arrange short-term luggage storage nearby with a Bounce partner ahead of your visit.
• Kettle’s Yard House and Gallery: This beautiful cottage has been converted into a museum housing a large collection of 20th-century art. The cottage is adorned with flower arrangements and pebble collections, as well as paintings by Alfred Wallis. Part of the allure of the museum is the fact that the art is creatively displayed throughout the cottage, making the whole space feel quite homey. There is a cafe on-site too, perfect for enjoying a cup of tea during your visit. No bags (even handbags) are allowed inside the museum so make sure you book luggage storage before heading to the museum.

Shopping 

From medieval markets to modern shopping malls, Cambridge has plenty of shopping options. The city is quite walkable, which makes it fun to wander the streets and poke in and out of shops as you go. Bounce recommends indulging your retail therapy at the following destinations. 

• Market Square: This square has hosted market stalls since the middle ages. Even if you’re not looking for anything in particular, this spot warrants a visit just for the experience of browsing. You’ll encounter everything from books and vinyl to fashion items, plants, fresh produce, goods from local artisans, and so much more. The market takes place Monday through Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm, with Sunday being the biggest day. 
• Sidney Street: If you love to browse independent local shops, you’ll enjoy wandering along Sidney Street. This pedestrian street, located in the city centre, is home to a collection of indie shops, including bridal boutiques, music shops, record stores, jewelry shops, and more. Whether you’re looking for a high-end keepsake, a gift, or just want to browse, Sidney Street is sure to delight you.
• The Lion Yard: On the hunt for a traditional shopping mall experience? The Lion Yard is a modern shopping center housing well-known chains like Luch, Clarks, and many more. The complex also houses a collection of eateries and coffee shops in case you need to fuel up after shopping. 

If you have stocked up on new goodies, don’t let all those shopping bags prevent you from exploring more of Cambridge. Bounce has partnered with local businesses to create convenient locations around the city where you can store luggage and shopping bags.

Dining

Cambridge has a thriving food scene featuring a range of traditional English specialties along with international cuisines. The best part is, you don’t have to splurge for an upmarket restaurant to have an incredible meal (unless you want to!). From bakeries and food trucks to cafes and lounges, there are many tasty flavors to experience in Cambridge.

• Bakeries: Cambridge has no shortage of delectable bakeries where you can sample favorite items like sausage rolls, scones, brownies, Chelsea buns, and much, much more. There are bakeries scattered throughout the city, but Fitzbillies, Norfolk Street Bakery, and The Larder are a few popular spots.   
• Romsey Neighborhood: Once voted the hippest neighborhood in the UK, this part of town plays host to a range of sidewalk cafes, coffee shops, and trendy eateries. Eat breakfast all day at Black Cat Cafe, enjoy Japanese fare at Ohayo Sushi Bar, and sip cocktails at 196 bar. 
• Street Food: There are many food trucks within Cambridge serving up delicious offerings. These are most-frequented during lunch hour when office workers seize the opportunity to grab take-away. The locations for each truck vary by the day, but tracking them down is part of the fun. You’ll find trucks specializing in everything from Sri Lankan cuisine to bao, hot wings, churros, and beyond.

Cambridge is just a train ride away from York, London, and Brighton. If you plan on enjoying any of these cities for a few hours or few days, make sure to make use of all of the convenient Bounce luggage storage facilities in England.
