    Heavily bombed by the German Luftwaffe during World War II, Coventry is not the most attractive of cities, much of its pre-war appeal having been replaced by questionable re-building in the post-war period. However, major regeneration projects such as the Stirling Prize shortlisted 'Phoenix Initiative' are beginning to make the city a more attractive place.

    • By road

      Coventry is conveniently situated at the centre of the UK Motorway network. The M6 passes the north of the city. The M1 is easily accessible via the A45 towards london and the M69 northbound. The M40 is accessed along the A46.

      To enjoy the drive into Coventry approach along the A46, exiting at [wiki=535aef515edd8bc39eb03c780d38a841]Kenilworth[/wiki]. Drive through central Kenilworth and past the Abbey Fields park before turning right towards Coventry. The broad tree lined Kenilworth Road offers a beautiful boulevard into the city.

      The city also provides a Park and Ride facility, see [url=http://www.parkandride.net/coventry/coventry_frameset.shtml]National Park and Ride Directory[/url]

      You can reach Coventry from London using Megabus which starts at roughly £13 return, but it arrives in Cannon Park, near Tesco, not the city centre. National Express has buses arriving at the Bus Hub (Pool Meadow), which can sometimes be cheaper at some times, though on average, Megabus proposes more options that are almost as cheap as the cheapest, yet less common National Express's equivalents.

    • By rail

      Coventry is on the main [wiki=59ead8d1e124ccfb79f3ace06f43e703]London[/wiki] to [wiki=ff327667b0a752abe3910f9f1c2ec06b]Birmingham[/wiki] rail route operated by Virgin. There are usually three trains to and from London Euston station every hour. The journey takes about an hour and (as of July 2011) costs about £41 for an adult off peak return. Significantly cheaper advance single tickets may be found if booking far enough in advance, and Megatrain also offer tickets on a few of the emptier of these trains (generally Monday-Thursday only) for as little as £2.50 return, again if booked far enough in advance. Alternatively London Midland currently offer an hourly service to and from Euston that takes about 1 hour 45 minutes, but has cheaper off peak and super off peak tickets compared to those valid on Virgin's trains.

      Trains to central [wiki=ff327667b0a752abe3910f9f1c2ec06b]Birmingham[/wiki] are even more frequent, with a 25 minute journey time. Birmingham International, serving the NEC and Birmingham Airport, is just 10 minutes away.

      Coventry is also on the main Bournemouth to Manchester line operated by Cross Country trains 1 of these trains operates per hour

      London Midland Trains also operate a hourly service to Northampton and also operate a hourly service to local town Nuneaton

    • By air

      Coventry Airport[http://flycvt.com] used to be a hub for Thomsonfly but all operations were ended in November 2008 and as such Coventry Airport is no longer served by any scheduled flights.

      Birmingham International Airport is closer to the centre of Coventry than it is to central Birmingham and a drive should not take much longer than 30 minutes depending on the traffic situation. A taxi costs £20. Another option is to take the free AirRail Link to the Birmingham International rail station from where trains to Coventry depart several times each hour.

    • By Taxi

    Coventry Cathedral Quarter, [url=http://www.coventrycathedral.org/].]The medieval Gothic Cathedral of St Michael was built in the late 14th-early 15th century, but largely destroyed by the German Luftwaffe on the night of 14 November 1940 in an incendiary bombing raid - only the tower, spire and outer walls remained... A new cathedral was built 1956-1962 next to the old (which now forms a memorial garden) to a design by Basil Spence. The cathedral is noted for its striking post-war modern design, the large tapestry of Christ enthroned, its innovative stained glass windows and various items of sculpture. These include (on the facade) the striking sculpture of St Michael's Victory over the Devil by Sir Jacob Epstein. Recent archeological digs have uncovered the remains of the original monastic settlement founded by Lord Leofric in 1043, these have been incorporated into the priory gardens and an interpretive centre exhibits some notable finds.

      Towards the eastern side of the city centre close to the University campus buildings can be found another concentration of pubs and bars that are popular with students centred close to Jordan Well and Gosford Street.

      For a more sedate experience, try Craven Street, set amongst Victorian-era watchmaker's cottages in the suburb of Chapelfields, has several traditional pubs.

      There is an extremely limited gay scene in Coventry: the city is not very gay-friendly and lacks any real gay nightlife. The only option is Rainbows, close to the University, this is a fairly small establishment with a 'clique'-y crowd - expect to be treated like new meat on your first visit. For a much better scene, head out to Birmingham's Gay Village.

      --Stay safe==

      Except for a few drunkards and beggars, Coventry has few safety problems.
