| Oxford Hop On Hop Off Sightseeing Bus |
Oxford is a very walkable city, much that is worthwhile is packed into a compact area that you can easily walk between.
So, you do not really need a Hop On Hop Off bus from a logistical sense. Although the bus ventures a little further than most people walk, the main sights are in the very centre.
Blenheim Palace is not visited by the HOHO bus, but there is a very frequent public bus.
However, what you do get is a good orientation of Oxford perched high up on the double deck bus. Especially if you are visiting independently the commentary can set the scene nicely for your stay. The bus also handily visits the rail and bus station. The rail station is otherwise a 10 minute stroll to the main sights.
