<p><strong>One day</strong> is enough to explore the historic center of Oxford. The city is small, full of charming alleys and it is very pleasant to explore it on foot. When planning a trip to Oxford, please remember that <strong>admission to the university buildings is subject to a fee, and</strong> some of them may be unavailable during exams.</p><h3> Church of St. Mary the Virgin </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/anglia/oksford/oksford-mary-the-virgin.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="St. Mary the Virgin Oxford" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> St. Mary the Virgin, Oxford, England - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> It is worth starting your tour of the city by climbing the winding stairs leading to the stone balcony located at the top of the University Church St. tower. Mary the Virgin. <strong>From here you can see the most beautiful panorama of Oxford.</strong> The tiny viewing platform accommodates only a few people, so it&#39;s worth showing up at the ticket office early in the morning to avoid wasting time in the queues that form during the day.</p><h3> Christ Church College </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/anglia/oksford/oksford-2.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Oxford" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Christ Church College, Oxford, England - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> One of the wealthiest and most impressive colleges in Oxford. Since its inception, it has been closely associated with the church - the chapel is also the cathedral of the Anglican diocese of Oxford. As many as 13 future Prime Ministers of Great Britain were educated here. <strong>Scenes for the Harry Potter film series were filmed</strong> in the stairwell and hall of Christ Church College, and the university&#39;s elegant Renaissance dining room was the inspiration for the creation of the magical Great Hall at the studio in London.</p><h3> NewCollege </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/anglia/oksford/oksford-1.jpg?tr=n-hero" alt="Oxford" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Bridge of Sighs, Oxford, England - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> Despite its misleading name, New College, founded in 1379, is one of the oldest colleges in Oxford. It is worth visiting mainly because of <strong>the charming cloisters and the chapel with huge, beautifully restored stained glass windows</strong> . New College is also the cradle of the internationally renowned men&#39;s church choir. You can listen to the singers during Sunday services and at specially organized concerts.</p><h3> Bodleian Library </h3><figure id="attachment_71597" class="wp-caption alignleft hero-image"><img class="size-medium wp-image-71597" src="https://media.brate.com/images/europa/anglia/oksford/oksford-7.jpeg?tr=n-hero" alt="Oxford" width="500" height="326"><figcaption class="caption"> Bodleian Library, Oxford, England - © Brate</figcaption></figure><p> The main library of the University of Oxford boasts a collection of more than 11 million books, volumes and manuscripts. It is <strong>the second largest book collection in Great Britain</strong> . The library occupies several impressive buildings, the most spectacular of which is the Radcliffe Camera rotunda.</p>
