Principali attrazioni a Coventry
💡 The fishmonger (Chandler's) is excellent for fresh fish at good prices. For lunch, try the jerk chicken stall or Mr P's pie shop. Market opens early (7am) but quieter by 10am.
💡 Entry is free but you often need to book a free timed ticket on their website, especially at weekends. Check the undercroft — it's sometimes closed for events.
💡 Go early on weekdays to avoid school groups. The museum is free but charges for special exhibitions — check their site. The café does decent tea and cake.
💡 Don't skip the charred cross of nails — a symbol of reconciliation. The new cathedral charges for some exhibitions, but the main nave and ruins cost nothing.
💡 Park at the Kenilworth Road car park (free) near the river. The café does reasonable bacon sandwiches. If you want peace, avoid weekends when it's busy with families and dog walkers.
