Defiantly have brunch at Fitzbillies. The Chelsea Buns are world famous.
Take a punting tour. Grab yourself a hot-chocolate and take it on board. If it’s chilly, blankets are supplied to cosy up in. I’d recommend Scudamores, you can find them on Magdalene Street right by the bridge.
St John’s College truly is an amazing place to see in Cambridge. Christ’s College is also stunning. It’s one of the more central colleges so is fairly easy to get to no matter where you are in town. When you’re there, make sure to see the Great Gate on St. Andrew’s Street.
You must see inside Kings College Chapel. You can book onto a guided tour or if you’d prefer, you can wander around at your own pace. Tickets for adults are around £9
Market Square has lots of independent traders and craft stalls.
St Mary’s Chruch is, in my opinion, the best (publicly accessible) viewpoints in all of Cambridge. Head inside, see the church and take a look at the gorgeous building. Afterwards, buy a ticket to the top of the tower (around £4-5) and climb the stairs to the top. Be warned, we climbed the stone tower when the bells were ringing and the whole tower was shaking as the bells went off (not like crazily so but enough that you could feel it)!

thank you @Ricekrispie22 we had brunch at Fitzbillies & went punting.

Looked at climbing the church but I hate small spaces & heights! Off to some colleges tmw.

My favourite shop is Pocketwatches and Petticoats. Always seem to buy something there!
There's a fantastic fudge shop opposite (ish) Kings.
