Coventry as a tourist destination

Coventry has always had its critics and there are many people who would balk at the idea of taking a holiday in Coventry but in recent years it has done a great deal to clean up its act and increase its appeal as a viable minibreak destination.

Frequently overshadowed by other nearby midlands destinations such as Warwick and bustling Birmingham, Coventry has had to fight to make its mark on the midlands tourist industry, but it has done so with a considerable amount of success. Here is a quick look at what could be fun to do in Coventry this summer:

Coventry Arts Centre features regular visits from fantastic British comedians, new music acts, dance troupes, theatre groups, artists'' exhibitions and a range of other culturally edifying events. Both locals and visitors alike make regular visits to this buzzing cultural hub in the heart of the city. If you want to find out more about what''s on in Coventry this season, check the city''s website for full listings of all cultural happenings.

The Godiva Music Festival is one of Coventry''s most fun summer attractions. This three day music festival offers up the best of Coventry''s local live music acts and features fun events that are suitable for all the family. Best of all, this three day extravaganza will cost you absolutely nothing at all as it is a free event designed for as many people to enjoy themselves as possible.

If you are looking for great grub within the Coventry area, look no further than Ally''s Balti House. If you ask any Coventry resident where to find great dining at great prices, chances are that they will direct you here, particularly if you mention that you love a good curry. Here you can find prime examples of Indian cuisine ranging from the spicy northern dishes to the rich and creamy fare of southern India. For a taste of something exotic in Coventry, this is hard to beat.

If you''d like a broad introduction to the city of Coventry, head for the tourist centre and pick up a map and plan yourself a pleasant walking tour of the central area and its main sights. One unmissable stop is, of course, Coventry Cathedral. Visitors will be pleased to note the number of pleasant caf?s and tearooms in which they may stop for a bite of refreshment whilst making their maiden voyage across town.
