Lots of people choose to stay in Cambridge's dreaming spires and take a train into central London for the boat race day itself, with Cambridge just a short 1-hour train ride into the city. The race itself takes place each year from Putney to Mortlake and spectators are advised to arrive early to get themselves a good viewing spot along the banks of the famous River Thames.
Cambridge has much more to offer visitors too, with its famous University tour taking in some of the UK's most beautiful historic buildings. The city is also home to a number of the country's best hotels making the period around the boat race a busy time in Cambridge.
To be sure of being in the middle of all the fun and games build-up which Cambridge experiences ahead of the annual boat race, it is worth contacting Cambridge hotels early to be sure of getting a booking at a good price.
Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com, commented: "The boat race between Cambridge and Oxford is a world famous event and attracts visitors from all around the world, making Cambridge a busy place before and after the race itself. To be sure of getting the best prices and availability we recommend booking online well in advance."
