We'll walk its cobble stones virtually with street views to soak in its atmosphere, see lots of old colleges and hear the Cambridge stories.
Cambridge University is over 800 years old, and every quaint little street is filled with stories of people who studied here and left this hallowed place to change the world.
As a Cambridge graduate I spent there years studying here so will give you the low-down on what it's like to actually be a student at Cambridge.
Join me on fascinating street views of this ancient university city. We'll walk the streets virtually and cover amongst other places:
Kings College Chapel
The Mathematical Bridge
The Wren Library
Senate House
Famous colleges
The pub where DNA was announced
Student life: May Balls, crashing, college rivalries
Student dares and frolics
Newton and Darwin
And there will be time for questions and answers.
