Cambridge Punting and Strolling

If you've arrived in Cambridge, the first thing you must try is **punting**. A punt is a flat-bottomed wooden boat propelled by pushing against the riverbed with a long pole, a traditional mode of water transport. As you glide along the River Cam on a punt, it feels as though time itself is gently flowing with the water. ⸻ 📍 What sights can you see? As you sit on the punt and slowly drift along the river, you'll come across stunning Gothic-style buildings like King's College, Trinity College, and St. John's College, appearing one by one along the water. The view of "The Backs," where the colleges' back gardens and bridges blend harmoniously, is like a living painting. Most famous bridge: • Mathematical Bridge – Located next to Queens' College, this bridge is surrounded by a legend that it was designed without using any nails.
