Oxford: Walking Through Centuries of Wisdom

A day in Oxford feels like stepping into a living museum — a place where every building tells a story. I began my journey at the Bodleian Library, one of the oldest libraries in Europe, its grand architecture quietly echoing centuries of knowledge. Nearby, the Radcliffe Camera stood like a guardian of secrets, round and majestic under the morning sun. As I wandered through the cobbled streets, I passed famous colleges like Christ Church and Magdalen, their ivy-covered walls and quiet courtyards filled with academic charm. It was easy to imagine generations of scholars, poets, and leaders walking the same paths. For lunch, I enjoyed a hearty pie at a cozy pub that once hosted J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Later, a peaceful punting trip along the River Cherwell offered a perfect change of pace — drifting past gardens, willows, and students laughing along the banks. Oxford is more than just a university town. It’s a place where tradition meets daily life, where the past is not forgotten but felt. Whether you’re a book lover, a history enthusiast, or a curious traveler, Oxford leaves you inspired — and just a little more thoughtful than before. #oxford
