Yes, you can. Members of the public are very welcome to visit St John’s College during designated opening times. Cambridge residents (with proof of a CB postcode), alumni, University card holders, and certain other groups may enter free of charge, while other visitors may need to pay an admission fee at specific times of year.
Access is via the Great Gate, and visitors should follow the signed public routes, as the College is a working academic environment and some areas are restricted.
College members’ computers, tablets and phones are connected to eduroam, which is a secure wireless network for education and research used by the University of Cambridge. Once connected, you will have access to wi-fi throughout St John’s and around Cambridge and other educational institutions worldwide.
