The City of Dreaming Spires

Oxford, also called the ‘City of Dreaming Spires’ is a wonderful place to explore with a broad range of things to do. Home to 1,500 listed buildings from every major period of British architectural history from the 11th century onwards, its centre looks like an enchanted fairytale city – no wonder Oxford is a firm favourite of filmmakers from all over the world and has inspired countless famous writers over the centuries.

Its visitor attractions range from museums to a UNESCO World Heritage palace to contemporary shopping centres, as well as memorable dining options and delightful accommodation. Whether you’re looking for a city break, romantic getaway or a weekend away with friends, Oxford and Oxfordshire have plenty to offer everyone.

Experience Oxfordshire is the Destination Management Organisation (DMO) and Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP) for Oxford and Oxfordshire representing over 200 partners from across the visitor economy including attractions, experiences, accommodation, hospitality, transport, events, venues and more.

Experience Oxfordshire was one of the first destinations in England to gain LVEP status from national tourist board, VisitEngland. As an LVEP, Experience Oxfordshire is recognised as a high-performing organisation, supporting collaborative working both locally, through its network of partners and those with interest in the visitor economy, and nationally on shared priorities.

Experience Oxfordshire also operates Experience Oxfordshire Venues, a free venue finding service, at experienceoxfordshire.org/venues and the award-winning Oxford Official Walking Tours at oxfordofficialwalkingtours.org
