Gonville & Caius College

Main Entrance

The main entrance to Caius is in Trinity Street, Cambridge, in the historic town centre. It is shown on the University Map opposite red no.16 (Cambridge University Press bookshop).
All visitors should report initially to the Porters' Lodge, which is staffed 24 hours a day; the telephone number is 01223 332400.
