Cambridge - What to see and where to eat?

[illmonkey]

Off to Cambridge soon, wondering if you lot can help me build a todo list whilst we are there.

Staying near the centre and will have a car, so can explore about a bit too.

TIA

Thanks for the replies.

I suppose in the evening a good Italian, or steak place. Some drinks with live music for afters. Or nice cocktail bars.

I like the idea of a walk to Granchester and lunch at the pub with a few beers. Other than that, anything that is unique to Cambridge, or worth seeing. We generally potter about stopping for a beer every so often. It's meant to be nice weather so good outdoor-based stuff.

Punting is probably a no go!

The hotel has parking, so we'll abandon the car for the weekend. But if there was something worthwhile, we could do it on the way in or out.

My list so far, not that everything will get done...
