What are your must see places, things to do in Oxford! I am going with my sons HS marching band for their performance in the London New Years Day parade, and we will be going to Oxford for the better part of a day. Thanks!

Looking through other threads will bring up a lot of things to see in Oxford. I’d suggest one or two colleges at least, the Bodlean Library (book a tour) and the Ashmolean Museum or the University Museum/Pitt Rivers Museum. Decide on your priorities but it’s all walkable.

Definitely the University Museum (natural history) and the Pitt Rivers (anthropology).

What sort of things interest you - museums, colleges, punting, gardens, shopping... My must see places might be the exact opposite to you....

I was lucky enough to be there when students were not and got a room At Christ Church College in the Annex across the street. Breakfast was in "Harry Potters" hall each morning which was a special treat. I took a Morse/Lewis/Endeavor tour which was not impressive, but was a good walk around Oxford. I was unable to see the Ashmolean or get inside the Bodleian so I will be back. Just walking around town was the biggest treat for me aside from where I was able to stay.
