Had a great little self-guided tour one afternoon. Great to slowly absorb the architecture, and relax in the surrounding gardens afterwards with a walk along the river in the sun. Hard to judge how busy it will be - the queue for tour groups will often be out of the doors, making it at times a little claustrophobic.
I want to study in this college if Allah helps me and i can study hard.The college is the best,the most prestigious and aIso the most beautiful than others in my opinion.I love the college so much.
There are few people when it rains. When it's clear, it's only a few dozen minutes to wait, and even if you enter, you can see only the back of the people ...
Don't miss the opportunity to visit one of the Harry Potter filming locations. Come early and visit the dinning hall before it gets way too busy.
Beautiful college and surrounding area definitely a place to visitt
This is part of the University campus also where many movies have been filmed, including Harry Potter, so you can find the Great Hall from the films.
Also if u want to get in for free you just need to ask kindly to any student around there and they can get you in for free!
Looking at the inner tube, it was very grand and wonderful. The grandeur of many years was also felt.
Fun to go around the grounds and see several sights from the Harry Potter films, like the Great Hall, Dining Room, Cloisters, etc. There is no audio guide but there are signs directing us and a helpful booklet describing the various locations and history. There were a lot of tourist groups. All of Oxford has charming architecture which I loved! (I went here as part of "Premium Tours Downton Abbey, Oxford & Bampton".
Beautiful architecture. So many places that you can relate to popular movies and TV series. An absolute must for all culture vultures and Harry Potter fans alike. Simply stunning.
Beautiful college, with several iconic Harry Potter locations. The guided tour is excellent, we didn't just get details about Christ Church, but also about Oxford in general. During the visit, you can see the Hall, the dining hall, the chapel, the quad and the streets around. It's definitely worth coming here if you are visiting Oxford
Visit the college! It is worth it!
There are beautiful green parks/grass around, old college building and surroundings. You can sit on the grass and rest there, or visit the inside with dining hall famous from Harry Potter. It looks really great!
The drawbacks - tickets are quite expensive and there are usually lot of tourists so the morning hours are the best.
The experience is essential to admission in this University.
A wonderful audio tour very easy to follow and very informative. Worth the money. Beautiful surroundings.
Awesome college, worth it, nice gardens, courtyards, church. A lot of history, it has something special that fascinates you.
It's a must visit sight, a pleasant place outside. and the harry porter dining table is fantastic as well.

It's flawless that the entrance fee is too expensive, but it's the best place to visit in Oxford. There is an audio guide in Korean, so you can watch it comfortably.
Christchurch, the best university in Oxford. Established in 1546
The true HP dining hall. Don't miss a tour with one of the cathedral's custodians. So much more information. Well worth it.
The tour is a little short for the price, so I took my time! Christ Church is still a beautiful building and I do not regret my visit. A step not to be missed for Harry Potter fans!
Magnificent architecture! Go early it s less crowd, enjoy
Beautiful place and so many tales of great interest
Grandiose and magnificent! Immerse you in the world of the Harry Potter saga from the first glance. Everything is superb, I am delighted with this visit!
Worth it even if I got angry because I was jealous of the students that get to live here.
Very good excellent place to go I took Japanese students for a day tour they loved it
Well, it s probably the most beautiful architecture I ve seen in the world. And you really want to watch Harry Potter again when you come home :)
Of all the Oxford colleges you should pay to visit, Christ Church college should be it. Whether you're a Harry Potter fan, hoping to stand on the steps that the cast of Harry Potter did, or a tourist hoping to see just how amazing and wonderfully kept the college is inside.
Admission prices when I went in October this year:
However, I think prices will be changing come next year, according to the college's website..
For those who think the admission fee is quite pricey, and let's be real, it is- understand that you are being granted access to look inside one of the world's most prestigious university's colleges, which traditionally should only be open to those who have been given admission by the college. Quite a bit of the college is closed (as it is still very much a working college) but you are still granted access to all the significant and beautiful buildings, including the Quads, Cloister, Hall Staircase, Great Hall and the Cathedral.
As a big Harry Potter fan, it was MAGICAL being able to stand on the steps and take a picture to keep as a treasured memory, but I'm very sure anyone who ventures in will not be disappointed.
A beautiful dining hall in the Christ Church college, Oxford. A must see for all the die-hard Harry Potter fans. Though it looks less grandiose without the special effects, it's the closest to the "great hall" in the muggle world.
For the Harry Potter fan, it's a must! The Great Hall is totally inspired by that of this church. The same goes for the stairs of Hogwarts, without omitting its cloister.
For 7 books (7.5 pounds on the internet), I strongly advise you to take your tickets on the internet. Indeed, you have a queue on the left that allows you to access faster as e-ticket holder. I waited ... 1 minute, instead of 45 minutes at 14h. A precious time saver when you know that the majority of the places to be closed close towards 17h to see before.
The price is the same on the spot or on the internet.
Beautiful Cathedral of Oxford city, popular as a film location as stated, and includes the Harry Potter staircase and Tudor architecture of the grand Dining Hall in Christ Church College was inspiration behind the design of Hogwarts Great Hall. Court yard and Meadow makes for great viewing. Distinctive tower dominates the entrance. Responsible for education for thirteen Prime Minister's, and additional Royals.
I followed the directions of google and I could not get there. :(
Amazing place in amazing town! Beautiful architecture, great atmosphere. Definitely a must-see.
Although the place with all its history is interesting and the great hall and cathedral beautifull, I did not think it validated the high entry fee. Especially since other colleges can be visited almost for free.
Also it can be very busy and you are hurried through the great hall by the staff to make room for others.
When we visited it today we were lucky and the flowers were in full bloom. We were treated to a beautiful garden on the way to the entrance and it was just gorgeous! Once inside we were wowed by the intricate decorations on the buildings, especially the ceilings, they are just amazing. Being a fan of Harry Potter I recognised the great Hall and the corridor and the staircase from the movies when we were inside, and got a bit excited, so if you are a Harry Potter fan you will love it. The hall is very beautiful, and the knowledgeable and friendly staff there will tell you about all the history if you are interested. The cathedral is also beautiful, especially (again) the ceilings, and the stain glassed windows, make sure you don't miss the one in the top left hand corner of the cathedral dedicated to Saint Frideswide. In my opinion I think that christ church is definitely on the list of not to be missed attractions in Oxford.
The main reason why I visited this place was, of course, Harry Potter; I wanted to see 'Hogwarts' in real life. However, I ended up loving its history and architecture. I highly recommend this place if you ever find youself in Oxford.
Beautiful. Historically interesting. The grounds are nice too. A must-see
Beautiful college with classic Harry Potter scenes. Great walking tour location for a classic British college feeling.
I stayed. During the daytime, ordinary tourists could only go to the entrance of the dining room, but the guests enjoyed breakfast there. The atmosphere is like a Harry Potter movie.
The rooms are only for renting student dormitories, so you should not expect them. Facilities were older than other colleges, and shower was shared.
In addition, +2 persons are free of charge when there is a person in charge of Oxford University.
Been here several times. It's a must place to visit in Oxford.
Wrong location! Google St Aldates for entrance. Expect a 30 minutes queue to get in. The church is really magnificent, the hall with portraits is great, other than that there s not too much to see - all closed to public.
Amazing place and beautiful interior and exterior. No wonder it was used for the Harry Potter movies!
Very cool Harry Potter fans will love this place.
Safe Travels
Beautiful, you can not explain the atmosphere you breathe inside, if you are a Harry Potter fan then it is a must! You have to see it to understand it ... A must visit !!!
Christ Church is the largest and most majestic college in Oxford.
It was founded in 1525 by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey and was called Cardinal's College. Renamed "Christ Church" by King Henry VIII when it established the Cathedral for the Diocese of Oxford in 1546.
Fantastic harry potter feeling and a classic stereotype (in a good way) of the British high education experience.
Exciting for every Harry Potter fan.
Not all the scenes that were filmed are amazing.
Alice and wonderland, and Harry Potter college does not dissapoint
Beautiful, imposing building with a truly historic aristocratic English feel.
Unfortunately, we couldn't get inside.
But the beauty is indescribable) as if I got to Hogwarts)
It is very lucky for people to study there, and also to those who just live in this city.
It is one of the colleges of Oxford University, and deserves a visit in itself for its architectural beauty. But then they thought of the scenes circled the dining hall in Harry Potter, and then the invasion of fans began. To visit that specific room, among other things rich in portraits of various scholars and philosophers, a crazy crowd is created, and the selfie sticks reign supreme.
A nice old college, not just for Harry Potter fans. Thanks to the tour you can get to many parts of the facility. Allow at least two hours.
A beautiful church to "melt away" for every Harry Potter fan!
The college itself is fantastic to look around, and features the Harry Potter stairs and dining hall. As a visitor I believe there is a fee to pay and a queue to join, to look around the college, but to any Harry Potter fans it's definitely worth it!
Really nice when it s sunny. You only really get the stairway, one big quad and that s it
(I study here)
Well worth a visit, especially for fans of the Harry Potter films.
Beautiful but expensive for little things that you can watch and walk. The store it's amazing
Nice place, if you have a student or staff as your guide, you won't have to wait a long queue to enter as a tourist.
A college with a big hall that was supposed to be a model of Harry pota dining hall without saying that.
Certainly because this point is indicated on the Google Map it is a place far from the original place, please be careful.
In fact, it is correct to enter from the gate opposite Cafe Loco on St.Aldate's Street.
Admission fee is 7 pounds adult slightly higher than other classes, student 5.5 pounds (student ID required).
Only visit outside, next time will go inside too. Entrance is around 8 pounds
Gorgeous garden and in general a beautiful and historic location. It was decently expensive to visit but not enough to not recommend the visit.
This church and its surroundings are very beautiful, the tour can be done in 30 minutes.
Besides being a boarding school that makes up the famous Oxford University, it's a destination for all Harry Potter fans. Inside it is possible to visit the Hogwarts Great Hall (smaller than the one in the film) and the reception staircase for the students of the first book. It is also the place where Lewis Carroll took inspiration for his book Alice in Wonderland.
I go to CC each July and stay in Meadow Dorm while attending classes ! Such a beautiful college!
Lovely place. Slightly pricy but a must go if you love Harry Potter to see the great hall
Oxford s largest prestigious college has trained 16 British prime ministers between 200 years.
Absolutely worth a visit, must be seen when visiting Oxford! Really unique scenery and beautifully preserved, Harry Potter sends its regards.
It's architecture, history and educational all rolled into a dream destination by visitors locally and on international level. Too awesome and lost for words to describe the experience just being here. If anywhere in Oxford you would find a queue, it is here. If you r lucky, you get to pass the kissing gate....follow tradition. Pass on the love!
Interesting walk through the areal, many nice details in the dining hall. During my visit very crowded. Even though we had reservation, we were told that they would close the dining room in 10 minutes because of lunch so we really had to hurry, basically just ran through. Also rather an expensive gift shop.
Antiques ... in the church there are some tombs from the British knights ... and it turns out in this complex that some Harry Potter films are taken. While in the Chrishchurch building ... visitors are prohibited from taking pictures / photos / videos ...
