Christ Church College is definitely one of the must-visit landmarks in Oxford and not only for fans of Harry Potter. The admission needs go be reserved online in advance and the availability is pretty limited. The dining hall is currently in use so it would be closed during lunch time. It's famous for the movie scenes in Harry Potter series for its dining hall and center field. We were impressed by how brilliant & magnificent the church is and we enjoyed the view very much.

The most famous college in Oxford, inspiring works such as Harry Potter and Alica in Wonderland. Booking ahead is required, as day tickets tend to be sold quickly. Prices are a bit steep (15£ for a student ticket) but its a very nice experience, and it also includes a visit to the cathedral on the same grounds. Most of the times it is quite crowded, so would opt for earliest tickets, or evening. Especially if you want to get nice pics.

Beautiful experience. The college was nice, and the cathedral also. Although the price of the ticket is high, I recommend buying the multimedia one, it contains a lot of useful and interesting information, and it is translated into many languages. Also, if you want to go there, do buy tickets online in advance, because they tend to sell out quickly.

Why do I have to buy tickets online? We were there in person with cash and card and they wouldn't let us buy a ticket. Real jobs worth in the gift shop. Have to go outside and mess around with their website to buy a ticket with our travel cards. Very annoying. The buildings themselves were very nice to see but you won't be spending long there. The cathedral was the highlight - good information about the stained glass etc. Personally I found other smaller colleges better to visit. This felt more like a money grab impersonal tourist attraction. Go to small but pretty college like Balliol instead if you don't want to pay an arm and a leg.

Christ Church is must visit when in Oxford. You can feel the history walking through it. Remarkable place. Beautiful! The hourly prayer is refreshing to the soul.

Beautiful, historic Oxford college. I have visited several times, but not since they added a new visitor’s center with self-guided audio tours. The audio/video tour is one of the best I have experienced while traveling. It contains a lot of excellent information both about the history of the college and its contemporary use. For people new to the UK/Oxford university system, this tour helps you to understand how things work while gaining an appreciation for the history of this particular college and its cathedral. The meadows are, of course, a lovely place to walk, picnic, or even take a nap!

A pleasant place to visit. Architecturely quite beautiful. We were lucky to have a crisp blue sky bringing out the yellow of the sandstone. Saw the Harry Potter staircase and the hall inspiration for Hogwarts Hall. Liked the coloured glass in cathedral, Burne Jones glass and lovely carved choir stalls.

Today I am very lucky to be able to visit the seminary of "Oxford University", one of the oldest campuses in the world. I am amazed by the architecture of the church. The solid stone reveals the ancient culture. How many souls are washed here, the most important thing It's the stories on the walls that give me a moment of peace there

This place is a must visit for Harry Potter fans! Christ Church is a college of the United of Oxford. The buildings here is being featured in the Harry Potter films and it has become a world-famous tourist destination. The architecture is stunning with beautiful grounds with flowers blooming during the summer season. The hall in Christ Church is the highlight which inspired Hogwarts dining hall!

A college that everyone visits, sometimes multiple times. Do listen to the porters, and don’t step on the grass. Highlights include the inspiration of Harry potter’s dining hall, an intricately designed cathedral, and portraits of VIP-looking people.

It was wonderful to revisit a place that has served my family for generations. A very historic building full of history and amazing architecture. The atmosphere is both imposing and inspiring. I would highly recommend a visit as great men and women of history have passed through these buildings.

Probably the most visited college of Oxford. Christ Church certainly worth a visit. Remember to pre-book your ticket as it can get very crowded and you'll have to wait to get a ticket. Very helpful free audio guide that helps you walk around the college. This college is very popular being one of the filming location for Harry Potter. The grounds are also very beautiful and you must take time to walk around the college.

Recommend to buy online ticket in advance, so that you just need to redeem the ticket & pick-up the device in the visitor center. The self-guided tour is very interesting, covering the college in general, the hall, and the church.

Did the 60-min tour via advanced booking. It is good to know about the history of the university especially the dining hall. The tour guide will ask if people would like to hear about Harry Potter references so if one is not a fan just hope there are no other HP fans in your tour group. There’s also a lot of interesting information about Alice in Wonderland. Too bad, the chapel is not open for tours when we went.

It was closed when we got there but the guard was very kind to let us in to take a quick look and photographs. The building looks beautiful and well maintained. Would love to come back and do the tour next time!

It's a beautiful place, the interiors are amazing. The college is absolutely stunning. I would recommend booking the tickets online. There's a ticket counter and a small shop nearby. Situated in the heart of the city. Parking would be a bit difficult around this area, better explore by walk.

Nov 21 The multimedia tour is well done. Tom's Quad definitely worth the visit. Interesting to see the Cathedral which is a real jumble of styles and periods with a floor tile commemorating the Wesleys.

Quite an amazing college with a lot of history. I have participated in the rowing team with this College. They have a long history of traditions and have a number of Rhodes scholars who lived here.

One of must visit places that you should go in Oxford, especially for Harry Potter's fan... The ticket price is £16 and you need to book it onlinr before D-day because it's imposibble to get walk-in ticket due to sold out.. I love strolling around here!!

A really beautiful place to visit. Quite large, but the audio walking tour is self-guided so you can move at your own pace. There’s a nice path to the river as well, providing lots to see both inside and outside. Visitors cannot go in the library, but it was fun hearing about the tree that can be seen from within that is the inspiration for the tree the Cheshire Cat sits in throughout the Alice in Wonderland stories.

A really interesting college to look around, particularly the great hall and the cathedral. However, at £16 per adult for a self guided tour which took less than an hour, I think it was rather overpriced.

Christ Church college is one of the best visit of Oxford. I had this place on my list for years, I don’t know why I waited so long. The college is beautiful. You have a multimedia guide included in the ticket to show you around and explain the history of the place. They shot a few scenes from Harry Potter here. No wonder why some area of the college have such an Hogwarts vibe.

I’ve been living close to Oxford for a year but never got the chance to visit the inside of the college. So I decided to give it a try as I knew it was the place where Harry Potter was filmed. The college is really beautiful and impressive. The audioguide was useful and practical. We can take as many pictures as we want as long as we respect the rules. Keep in mind that students are still studying there. If you come to Oxford, you can’t miss this place. Mostly if you’re a Harry Potter fan.

Located in the heart of the city, Christ Church is conveniently close to museums, shops and restaurants. What a magical experience from the grandeur of the Harry Potter setting of the Grand Hall to the majestic stained glass windows , ceiling detail and font. Even if you choose not to pay to go inside it is definitely worth a visit to take photos from the outside. At the side of the main entrance you can walk through the meadow up to the river.

Very suggestive place to visit. If you are in Oxford you have to see the Church and the college inside. There are also the original location of Harry Potter first movie.

Be warned that the college is not very accessible. There are many steps throughout, and some pathways in the garden area are muddy/flooded, which I think will be difficult to navigate with a wheelchair or limited mobility. We had a pushchair which had to be carried up/down several flights of stairs (easy for us as we were in a group but I imagine impossible if you're on your own). We were warned of this at the visitor centre, and at the entrance; but I don't remember a clear warning on the website when buying tickets. Tickets are £16 per person, or £12.80 if the cathedral is closed. You can buy online or at the visitors centre. If you buy online you'll still need to queue at the centre for your audio guide. Check the timings for the great hall beforehand, as it closes during lunchtime and you don't want to miss it! It's the highlight of the visit. Overall I think it's worth a visit even if it's pricey.
