Every visit to a city is complete only when you have discovered its gastronomy and local products. Here you have the Oxford Covered Market, its permanent Covered Point of Sale.

St. Michael am Nordtor
Here is a new iconic tower of Oxford, and you can easily guess that it is much older than anything you have seen so far. It dates back to the 11th century and was built around the year 1050.
0 Minute
3
Wesley Memorial Methodist Church
The charming Rue Saint-Michel takes you straight to the Wesley Memorial Church. Not sure you know the Wesley brothers, but they're the ones who created the Methodist Church.
0 Minute
4
Oxford Castle und Gefängnis
The city of Oxford may be best known for its incredible university, but it has many other treasures of history to tell you. Perhaps the most important is this Romanesque castle which tells a whole page of the city’s history.
0 Minute
5
Staken in Oxford
You follow the Castle Mill Stream for a moment, translate, the Castle Mill Canal. It’s an arm of the Thames and more precisely a backwater, a marigot in French. It is a part of the river in which there is little or no current.
0 Minute
6
Gloucester Green Outdoor Market
If you are lucky enough to be in Oxford between Wednesday and Saturday, then St George’s Square must be buzzing. Sorry about those who came on a Sunday, Monday or Tuesday, you will have to come back later if you want to know Gloucester Green Market.
0 Minute
7
Ashmolean Museum für Kunst und Archäologie
The imposing neoclassical monument you have in front of you, with its 4 large columns supporting the pediment, is the famous Ashmolean Museum. It is the very first public museum in Britain!
0 Minute
8
13 Magdalen St
This elegant stone monument, which could easily be part of a religious building, commemorates the 3 martyrs of Oxford: the Bishops of London and Worcester and the Archbishop of Canterbury. The monument was built 300 years after the events of the English Reformation.
0 Minute
9
Das Exeter College
Look up here towards the Exeter College bell tower on your right. It seems that a man, naked in addition, is stationed on the roof. It’s a strange sensation and an original statue to say the least.
0 Minute
10
Trinity College
You have Trinity College on your left here. Unlike many Oxford colleges, this one is not entirely hidden and you can, from where you are, admire its gardens and the exterior architecture of its buildings.
0 Minute
11
Sheldonian Theater
On your right, behind its grimacing busts resembling Roman emperors, is the famous Sheldonian Theatre, one of Oxford’s most iconic historical monuments. Its construction dates from the 1660s.
0 Minute
12
Clarendon-Gebäude
The neoclassical building next to the theatre is the Clarendon Building. At Check-out, the theatre had two functions. It was used for graduation ceremonies, but it also hosted the Oxford University Press Printing House.
0 Minute
13
Seufzerbrücke
Yes, I know what you think, it’s like suddenly in Italy. Venice, even more precisely. The bridge you see in front of you, while it looks like two drops of water at the Rialto, is nicknamed the Bridge of Sighs.
0 Minute
14
Bodleian-Bibliothek
You are now at the heart of the Bodleian Library. A highlight of your visit to Oxford. You can immediately feel the presence of the place and the strength of its past. It is one of the oldest bookshops in Europe and with over 13 million items printed, it is the second largest library in England.
0 Minute
15
Radcliffe Kamera
Another Oxford landmark is the Radcliffe Camera. Or the Rad Cam for the intimates, from the Latin "camera" which means room.
0 Minute
16
University Church of St Mary the Virgin
Oxford’s historic centre is so full of history that you can’t take two steps without facing an important new monument. This is the University Church of Sainte-Marie-la-Vierge.
0 Minute
17
Brasenose College
The imposing facade you see belongs to Brasenose College, formerly called Brazen Nose College. It is one of 38 colleges that make up the University of Oxford. It was founded in 1509 by a lawyer and a bishop, and built on the site of Brasenose Hall, a medieval Oxford university hall.
0 Minute
18
Merton College
The cobblestone streets of Oxford reveal treasures of heritage at every turn. You have previously come across the magnificent Oriel College, founded in 1324 by King Edward II of England, making it the first college in the city with a royal foundation.
0 Minute
19
Logic Lane
The narrow alleyway you're using now is called Logic Lane. It was previously called Horseman Lane because it led to an old horse-powered mill. But this Logic Lane runs above all along Oxford’s oldest college, and has educated Bill Clinton and Stephen Hawking among others!
0 Minute
20
Magdalen College
Before branching off into Rose Lane, I'd like to draw your attention to Magdalen College. First of all, although it's spelt Magdalen, it's actually Maudlyn. That's how the name was pronounced centuries ago when it was founded.
0 Minute
21
Hauptstraße
You now reach High Street, the busiest street in the city, lined with beautiful monuments. You have the magnificent facade of Queen’s College, built in honour of Queen Philippa de Hainaut, wife of King Henry III.
0 Minute
22
Deadman's Walk
You are now following part of the 13th century defensive wall that surrounded the medieval city at the time. If you climb to your left, you will see what is called a bastion. It was built to project from the wall so that those inside could fire on attackers from all directions.
0 Minute
23
Alices Laden
You now join Saint Aldate’s Street, formerly Fish Street and renamed in honour of the Bishop of Gloucester considered a saint. Check out the shop with the red door at number 83. It is called Alice’s Shop and is much more interesting than just a souvenir shop.
0 Minute
24
Christuskirche
Finally, here you are, in front of the undisputed Rising Star of Oxford, its largest and most famous college, from which emerged no less than 13 English Prime Ministers: the famous Christchurch College. If you only have to visit one, it is this one.
0 Minute
25
Rathaus von Oxford
This is Oxford City Inn. The beautiful stone façade you are currently observing reveals the third building designed to accommodate the Municipality of Oxford. The very first, already installed there, dates back as far as 1290.
0 Minute
26
Carfax-Turm
Here you are now in front of the Carfax Tower, all that remains of St. Martin's Church which was the main parish of the city since 1122. Seven centuries later, the city has evolved and has different needs. In 1896, space was needed to move around. It was then decided to demolish the main part of the church, but to keep the bell tower.
