Away from any hustle and bustle, Coventry offers some nice cultural attractions and the night life is pretty vibrant too.
Places worth visiting in Coventry:
- The Roman Fort at Baginton
- St. Mary's Guildhall (where kings and queens were entertained)

When you feel like seeing a play, you can go to the Albany Theatre, the city's main community theatre, or the Belgrade Theatre.
Wander around the Coombe Country Park, or enjoy sport events of the local football league, rugby union, ice hockey, cricket and athletics teams.
Have fun and enjoy the company of your peers in one of the night clubs, bars and pubs.
Whenever you feel like getting out of the city, you can always make a trip to Nottingham or Oxford, both around an hour away by train, or even to the cosmopolitan London, around two hours away.
