The important source of income of the city is education and, accordingly, tourism.. They were able to establish a brand city image with the education system and managed to use this to develop tourism.. Hats off and it’s clear that it’s a strategy that should definitely be emulated.
This city is divided by the River Cam, and there are also areas to the right and left of the river. It is connected to each other by bridges, and the name of the city was formed by the combination of the words Cam (the name of the river) and Bridge (the bridge).

Even this gives us the first impression that Cambridge is both a student city and a historical city full of green parks.
