2025 Oxford Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

It was like coming to Holwarts College, listening to an evening song, sitting in meditation in the church, and feeling that the whole person has become better, and the negative energy has been purified. We ate Japanese ramen near there, which was very tasty. The colleges are located in different places and charge separately. If you go at normal time, the fee is 20 pounds. We only went to the evening song (free admission). If you just want to see the filming location of the Harry Potter dinner, you can go at this time. It starts at 6 o'clock and you can go in at 5:45. #7月發文留言活动2025

For my university graduation trip, I visited the UK for my first overseas travel. The fresh scenery and atmosphere, which I couldn't experience in domestic trips, overwhelmed me, making it feel like a dream world. Visiting famous landmarks such as Big Ben, London Bridge, Oxford University, and the British Museum, I was deeply impressed by the rich history and culture of the UK. Experiencing a foreign environment and discovering a new world, I realized that everything about this trip was very special and would remain in my memory forever.

Oxford Station is about an hour from London's Paddington Station. From there, it's about an 18-minute walk to Christ Church College, which was one of the filming locations for Harry Potter✨ 💰Admission Fee: Around £20 (varies depending on the season) 💞Recommended Reason: You can borrow headphones that play an audio guide (available in Japanese) when you enter, so you can enjoy it not only visually but also audibly. ⚠️Note: The dining hall is closed during lunch hours (11:45 AM to 2:00 PM), so I arrived around noon and was guided after 2 PM. Honestly, the £20 admission fee is quite high, but I think the experience was worth more than the price. Even if you're not a Harry Potter fan, you can see unique scenery that you can't find anywhere else, so I highly recommend visiting♪

#2024mapped Being home for one of the most prestigious university in the world, Oxford is also the easiest+cheapest city to visit from London: when planned ahead (even a few days would suffice), one-way trip costs as low as £5 and takes around 2hrs. That also means, Oxford is a perfect destination to do a day trip from London, instead of having to drag along some suitcases to a new hotel. That said, there is an unique accommodation option to stay in the university and wake up to have breakfast in the Great Hall featured in Harry Potter movies; so if you managed to get a slot (usually fully booked many months ahead), that’s a chance not to miss. Attraction-wise, I personally find Bodleian Library and Radcliffe Square most mesmerising, but really, the whole university town is not huge, but every corner is antique and could make an excellent photo spot. In terms of museums, most museum (if not all) are free-entry (but ticket might be needed), and natural history museum is my favourite.

🎞️ The moment I stepped into Christ Church at the University of Oxford, it felt like stepping back in time. 📸 The ancient church towered into the sky, with its exquisite stone columns and stained glass windows captivating the eye. The golden glow of the setting sun bathed the stone walls, creating a breathtaking sight. This place also served as one of the filming locations for the Harry Potter movies, adding a touch of magical mystery. 🤷🏻 By a stroke of luck, I managed to get a ticket to a concert being held here, which was a delightful surprise. As the music began, the atmosphere inside the church became even more sacred and solemn. However, my attention was drawn to the historic architecture. Each fresco on the dome seemed to tell an ancient story, and the interplay of light and the building itself created a serene and uplifting ambiance. 🌅 After the performance, I strolled through the courtyard of Christ Church. The twilight filtered through the trees, casting a romantic glow on the old buildings. Engaging in leisurely conversation with friends, we shared our feelings about this experience, filled with joy and contentment. 🎶 Such an evening, poetic and picturesque, made me appreciate the infinite beauty and tranquility of Oxford University. 🎈 This memory will forever remain in my heart, becoming a part of my life.

Missing Bean has many branches in the UK. This time we visited the branch in Banbury. The space inside the coffee shop is not very spacious, with only a few seats. Some of the seats can enjoy the street view outside the window, which feels quite comfortable. In addition to coffee, the store also provides light meals. I ordered a cup of Latte (£3.3), the coffee tastes smooth, the ratio of milk to coffee is just right, the taste is rich but not too bitter, with the depth of milk and coffee 😋 As for the food, I ordered the Salmon & Cream Cheese Bagel (£7), the taste was quite ordinary, not particularly impressive 😅 📍Missing Bean Banbury - 70 High St, Banbury OX16 5JG #June2024 #foodguide #uk #ukfood #uktravel #ukattractions #Banbury #ukcafe
