Take the opportunity to visit Canterbury’s most famous landmark and England’s largest cathedral, Canterbury Cathedral. The Cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and dates to the 12th Century.
Explore the significant history of the impressive building and the stunning medieval stained-glass windows. If you are currently studying at Canterbury College, it won’t cost you a penny, as college students can enjoy free entry with their student ID!
On a sunny day day, why not take in the sights along the River Stour and explore more of Canterbury's rich history with a Historic River Tour.
If the weather isn’t looking too good, the cinema is a great option. The Curzon Westgate and Curzon Riverside showcase independent films, live events and art broadcasts, as well as the latest popular releases. They also have on-site restaurants to enjoy a bite to eat before or after a movie.
There is plenty of choice when it comes to hitting the shops and finding a spot to eat in the city. Head to Whitefriars Shopping Centre for popular chain stores and restaurants or check out The Kings Mile and the end of the High Street near the Westgate Towers, for independent shops and eateries.
As a student, you can take advantage of the student discount that many shops throughout Canterbury offer. Sign up to apps such as UNiDAYS and Student Beans to access more discounts.

Escape Rooms are becoming increasingly popular and are a great way to spend a couple of hours. Problem-solving, team-work and patience will all come in handy. See if you can beat the clock!
