Budget-Friendly Places To Visit In Coventry

Being a student often means that you will be on a tight-monthly budget, but that doesn’t mean that you need to stop going out and exploring not only the hidden gems of the city that you came to study to, but the restaurants as well.

Located in the heart of England, Coventry is a city with so many beautiful and affordable places to visit.

Coventry Cathedral

Coventry’s historical gem and also a free attraction to everyone.

Bombed in World War II, the remains next to the modern Cathedral create a beautiful contrast and also interested picture opportunities.

War Memorial Park

Another iconic place to go to is the War Memorial Park, a quiet and peaceful place, especially if you want to escape the busy rhythm of the student life.

A great place to set up a picnic on the sunny days with a huge green area for outdoor sports activities and also a great spot to relax and get to know new places if you like exploring without spending any money.

Herbert Art Gallery and Museum

The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum is a great opportunity to learn about culture and history.

The museum provides a wide choice of exhibits and activities for free despite the fact that some exhibits may require an admission fee.

Coventry Transport Museum

In the city centre of Coventry, you can spot the Transport Museum, a massive industrial history.

Although there is a cost to enter the main museum, there are frequently free activities and exhibitions there. Have a look on their timetable to get the best deals.

Coombe Abbey Country Park

An escape for those who love the outdoors and is just a short bus trip from the city centre. Free admission to the park allows you to take beautiful hikes, see birds, explore the green areas and even have a picnic by the lake, although if you are driving there you will need to pay for the parking spot, it is the ideal location to get away from the city without spending much.

Coventry Canal Basin

A relaxing walk along the Coventry Canal Basin to take in the peacefully and colourful narrowboats. For a quick snack, there are also several affordable cafés and places to eat nearby.
