FAQs
It’s easy to see why so many people love exploring Oxfordshire’s famous cathedral city. With historic colleges, picturesque parks and fun family attractions to discover, the only problem you’ll have when visiting Oxford is trying to fit it all into one weekend break!
Heritage! This beautiful city is alive with history, from its iconic architecture to its world-famous university. Many famous people were either born or educated here, and it remains a cultural hub loved by artists and filmmakers – you’ll probably recognise the city’s top attractions from your favourite movies!
The University of Oxford is by far the most famous part of the city. It’s one of the world’s oldest universities, with a history dating back as far as the 11th century, and this heritage – along with the stunning architecture of its iconic colleges – continues to fascinate locals and tourists alike.
Oxford is easy to explore on foot – in fact, it was voted the most walkable UK city in 2024! That’s not just because it’s relatively flat either – it’s because the best places to visit in Oxford are all within easy reach of each other, making this the perfect destination for UK city breaks.
Absolutely! With historic sites like Oxford University Museum of Natural History and Oxford Castle and Prison, culture lovers will be spoilt for choice. Film buffs won’t want to miss exploring all the locations where Harry Potter was filmed in Oxford too!
How you spend a day in Oxford depends on who you’re travelling with and what you enjoy most. A sightseeing bus or a guided walking tour is a great way to get to know Oxford’s top attractions like the Bodleian Library, Ashmolean Museum and Christ Church College.
Scavenger hunts and escape rooms will keep couples entertained on romantic breaks in Oxford, while families will love the Story Museum or the miniature railway at Cutteslowe Park. Plus, if you’ve got tickets to live events at the O2 Academy Oxford or Oxford Town Hall, our Oxford hotels are an ideal base.
Some of the best free things to do in Oxford include visiting its world-famous university, as well as picturesque outdoor spaces like Christ Church Meadow and the University of Oxford Botanic Garden. Afterwards, why not visit the Ashmolean? Not only is it the UK’s oldest public museum, but it’s also home to everything from Egyptian mummies to contemporary art exhibitions.
You’ll love shopping breaks in Oxford. Cornmarket Street and Queen Street are your go-to spots for all the best high street stores, stalls and boutiques – as well as Westgate Shopping Centre next to our Oxford City Centre (Westgate) hotel – and don’t miss out on visiting Oxford’s Covered Market during your stay.
One of the best ways of getting around Oxford is by bike, and you’ll find plenty of places to hire one throughout the city. There’s a great bus network that can get you from A to B, or why not explore Oxford on foot along one of many scenic walking routes?

In 2020 we launched Premier Inn CleanProtect™, our rigorous, daily cleaning method that’s used throughout our UK & Ireland hotels. Developed in partnership with Diversey, a global leader in cleaning and hygiene products for the healthcare and hospitality industries, our promise seeks to give you extra peace of mind so you can always book and stay with confidence.
Check-in - minimising contact at reception and providing hand sanitiser in most public areas for peace of mind.
Bed linen and towels - laundering all our linen and towels at over 60°C to thermally disinfect them, so you can enjoy a great night’s sleep. We’ve also placed spare pillows in a zip-up bag, for extra peace of mind.
Equipping our teams - providing our team members with all the equipment and sanitisers they need, as well as always operating in the safest way possible for our teams and guests.
A generous serving of safety - you can relax knowing that enhanced cleaning measures are in place throughout our restaurants. Tables are cleaned between visits and contactless payment is in place too, so you can dine safely and comfortably with us every time.
Clean on request - if you'd like your room cleaned during your stay with us, just let us know at reception and use the handy door hanger on the back of your door by 12pm each day.
Most Premier Inns have specially-adapted rooms allowing easier access for customers with disabilities. If there is no specially-adapted room available at the hotel of your choice, we will be happy to offer you alternative accommodation at a nearby Premier Inn.
