Frequently Asked Questions

Can we go inside Oxford University?

The university campus is mixed into the city centre and therefore public, meaning you can walk freely around the outside of the buildings. We will do this on the walking tour. If you want to go inside, you have to buy a ticket and go in the free time you have in Oxford.

First, choose which of the 36 colleges, libraries and halls to visit. We recommend Divinity School for Harry Potter film enthusiasts, Balliol College for the stunning architecture and Weston Library for those on a budget. Then, buy your ticket on the university website for where you want to visit. We recommend buying online in advance because they sell out very quickly. You can also buy tickets on the door, but these are subject to availability.

What will we see on the walking tour?

We will be exploring the sights of Oxford city centre, which includes many university buildings. Some of the most famous are: Balliol College, the Sheldonian Theatre, Divinity School, the Bridge of Sighs, the Bodleian Library, the Radcliffe Camera, St. Mary’s Church, and more. If you want to visit any of the above buildings, be sure to buy a ticket online in advance on the university website.
