À propos
Faits rapides: Shelving over 13 million printed items, this place holds one of the largest collections in the UK. Readers can access rare manuscripts including a copy of the Gutenberg Bible that few libraries worldwide own.
Points forts: The library houses the famous Duke Humfrey's Library, its medieval reading room still preserved with intricate wooden carvings and ancient leather-bound books. Whisper through the Radcliffe Camera's circular reading room, where natural light floods in from 15 dome windows creating a serene study atmosphere.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear comfortable shoes as parts of the library span several floors with narrow staircases.
- Photo opportunities peak in the Radcliffe Camera, but photography inside manuscript rooms is usually restricted.
- Skip weekend public tours to enjoy quieter browsing times on weekday mornings.
- Carry a notebook or device, as many texts are reference-only and cannot be borrowed.

Avez-vous entendu parler des visites à pied gratuites ?
Après avoir voyagé dans plus de 30 pays, il y a une chose que j'aurais aimé qu'on me dise dès le premier jour, et cela a complètement changé ma façon de découvrir les nouvelles villes.
Les visites à pied gratuites. Oui, vraiment gratuites. Pas besoin de carte de crédit. Pas de piège.
