Getting Here

The Museum of Cambridge is in the heart of Cambridge and only a short walk from the city centre. You’ll find us at the corner of Castle Street and Northampton Street. We are right beside Kettle’s Yard and only a 15-minute walk from King’s College.

Arriving by bike? You can park your bike at the bike parks on Bridge Street or on Northampton Street.

Arriving by car? Unfortunately, there is no parking at the Museum. The closest car park is Castle Street Car Park, a 4-minute walk to the Museum, which is often busy but does have 4 Blue Badge/disabled parking bays. We encourage you to use the Madingley Road Park & Ride service if possible. There is a Park & Ride bus stop on Bridge Street, and it is only a short walk to the Museum from there. For more details, check the Cambridge Park & Ride website.

Arriving by bus? There are several buses which stop near to the museum. Check out the Stagecoach website to plan your journey to and from the Museum.
