Customer reviews

Not bad for the price. The shells are a little fhinner than anticipated & the handle on the smallest one is a bit shorter than i would like.

I have been heartbroken over this luggage set. In about 18 months the zipper on the big case broke. Then the top of the middle case seemed to have crystalized and broke, almost like a crack first then a full break. I have still been using the middle size and the carry on, but each time I see, them feel very sad. It took a little saving on my part to get the set, so naturally I feel cheated.

I purchased Ben Sherman Nottingham 3 piece lightweight travel luggage set for my vacation. One of the bag handle broke on my very first trip. Handle came off. When I came back from my vacation I contacted Macy’s. Macy’s told me to call Ben Sherman helpline I tried calling Ben Sherman customer service helpline they gave me run around. Ben Sherman told me to call someone else. Overall cheap material luggage set. Didn’t like it don’t recommend it.

Good quality for great price

Every zipper broke before the first use. Don’t buy.

The luggage looks very nice, but it’s flimsy. It does not roll nor handle very well. Very disappointed with this purchase

Although I only used the medium size piece, it held up well going out of the country.

Zipper broke the first time I used it. Tried calling Macy’s for replacement, they will not help and asked me to call the manufacturer. Manufacturer is asking for the Order number but it was invalid because I did not but directly from them. Macy’s could just easily replace but they will not. So don’t waste your money and don’t be fooled by “lifetime warranty”.

Attractions and activities in Nottingham

Nottingham castle.

Nottingham Castle is an 11th-century castle and one of Nottingham's most important attractions. The castle was built on William the Conqueror's orders not long after the Battle of Hastings. Then it became a royal residence and an important fortification for many centuries. Unfortunately, the original castle was largely destroyed in the 1800s and was rebuilt as a large mansion by the Duke of Newcastle. Today, the fort serves as a museum, art gallery, and historic site.

The museum is home to lots of intriguing exhibits. They include a look at the castle's connection with Robin Hood and what Nottingham Castle would've looked like in the 11th century. The museum's collection boasts artwork from across Europe, with notable pieces such as Love's Oracle by Albert Ritzberger, Violas in a Window by Winifred Nicholson, and Satellitium by Edward Wadsworth.

Nottingham Castle bag policy

You can't bring large bags into Nottingham Castle, so check for luggage storage services before visiting the castle. With a straightforward booking process, you can find Nottingham luggage storage locations quickly, make a reservation, and drop off your belongings. This way, you’ll be ready to explore your destination bag-free. 

City of Caves

A unique attraction, the City of Caves is a must-see in Nottingham. These caves were carved out of limestone and are thought to date back over 700 years. Originally, they believed there were over 500 caves in this labyrinth of tunnels. The caves have been used for many things over the years, but mainly for housing. 

Visitors can take guided tours of the City of Caves and learn about their construction, use as bomb shelters during World War II, and their history as a medieval underground tannery.

City of Caves bag policy

The City of Caves doesn’t have a storage locker or a secure way to store large luggage. When looking for a safe place for your items, Bounce left luggage storage service is close by. Bypass long lines and reserve a spot to store luggage, backpacks, and other types of bags.

National Justice Museum

Another fascinating attraction in Nottingham is the National Justice Museum. Located at the site of the city's old gaol, police station, and courthouse, the museum has been the scene of many famous legal battles involving the likes of Oscar Wilde and the Krays. After perusing the museum's collection of over 40,000 crime-related artifacts, book yourself on a spooky ghost tour or delve into the history of the Nottingham County Gaol.

The National Justice Museum bag policy

Like most Nottingham museums, this building doesn’t have luggage lockers or any storage facility. Although they do their best to accommodate guest requests, you’re responsible for your belongings.

Be sure to download the Bounce app before your trip to the museum to find the most convenient luggage storage location. If your plans change, you can reschedule or cancel your booking for free before your scheduled check-in time.

Shopping in Nottingham

Victoria centre.

Go on a shopping spree at Victoria Centre, a premier shopping center in Nottingham. It’s one of the largest shopping malls in the Midlands, with over 100 different shops and restaurants to enjoy. You’ll find numerous stylish stores here, such as Urban Outfitters, John Lewis & Partners, Levis, Tom Ford, and more. If you’re shopping for the kids, check out the items at The Entertainer. It also has a dedicated bus station and over 2,250 parking spaces for customers’ convenience. When you need to refuel, it has more than twenty eateries and cafes, so you can eat while shopping.

Riverside Retail Park

If you want to avoid Nottingham City Centre and just want to get your home supplies, the Riverside Retail Park is the place to go. It’s a huge area near the central city, with access to food, drink, groceries, clothing, and home items at an affordable price. There’s plenty of parking space, and it’s rarely busy, so you’re sure to find a spot to park.

The Exchange

This vibrant shopping spot has been at the core of Nottingham retailing for more than eighty-five years. It’s the city’s first shopping arcade and continues to attract residents and visitors. It has a mix of local shops, exclusive stores, and independent retailers, offering everything from gifts, art, household products, and fashion. It’s housed in a Grade II-listed building at the heart of Nottingham’s city center.

Top restaurants in Nottingham

The staunton arms.

Sample some local cuisine at one of Nottingham's many classic British eateries and restaurants. One of the popular options is the Bell Inn, located in the heart of Nottingham. With delicious beer, great food, live music, and an old-fashioned pub atmosphere, it’s a lovely place to spend time with friends and socialize. It’s one of the city’s most well-known historic pubs, dating back to 1437. Try their king prawns & chorizo and their award-winning steak and Ruddles Ale pie.

The Cod's Scallops

Your British culinary journey won’t be complete without having the ultimate pairing of fish and chips. While many dining spots serve this British staple, no one does it better in Nottingham than The Cod's Scallops. Here, customers can choose from more than twenty fish species daily. They’re cooked fresh to order, whether battered, baked, or naked. Besides their fish & chips, you can also order king scallops, smoked salmon, oysters, sea bass fillet, and many more.

Elevate your culinary experience at Alchemilla, a one-starred Michelin restaurant in Nottingham. They have several menus, including pescatarian, vegan, and vegetarian. Expect the food at this restaurant to be fancy and delicious—think scallops, smoked eel, and aged beef. Every course on the tasting menu is a perfect balance of flavor.

History of Khabarovsk

Foundation of khabarovsk.

Until the mid-19th century, the territory of present-day Khabarovsk, in accordance with the Nerchinsk Treaty, was located on a neutral territory, not delimited between the Qing Empire (China) and the Russian Empire. In 1858, the Aigun Treaty was signed, according to which the entire left bank of the Amur River passed into the possession of the Russian Empire, the right bank of the Amur to the Ussuri River became part of China.

After signing the treaty, the 13th Siberian Line Battalion was sent to establish settlements along the Amur. One of the new settlements was named Khabarovka - in honor of Yerofey Khabarov, a 17th-century Russian explorer known for his attempts to colonize this region for Russia. In 1864, the first plan for the development of the future town was made. By 1865, there were 1,294 residents in Khabarovka - mostly soldiers and officers.

Initially, only military buildings were constructed in Khabarovka. Five years after the foundation, there were already 167 buildings in the settlement including the house of the commander, barracks, warehouses, residential buildings, and trading shops. Due to its very convenient location at the confluence of the Amur and Ussuri rivers, Khabarovka began to develop very quickly.

Following the military settlers, civilians began to arrive from all parts of the Russian Empire including Moscow and St. Petersburg. At that time, their main occupations were hunting, fur trade, and fishing. The settlers were provided with free fertile land, which also contributed to the influx of new residents to Khabarovka.

More historical facts…

Khabarovsk - a regional center of the Russian Far East

In 1873, the first elementary school was opened in Khabarovka. The Russo-Chinese treaty of 1881 allowed duty-free trade in the 50-kilometer land border zone and the goods of Chinese and English manufacturers could be bought half cheaper here.

By 1880, Khabarovka was already a rather large settlement of Primorsky Oblast with a population of 2,036 people (47.3% - military, 23% - bourgeois, 21.3% - foreigners (mainly Chinese workers), 1.4% - representatives of the indigenous population, and 7% - officers, clergy, merchants, industrialists).

At that time, the capital of Primorsky Oblast was Nikolayevsk (today’s Nikolayevsk-on-Amur), but Khabarovka had a more advantageous geographical position, as it was located at the crossroads of all communication lines from Vladivostok and the coast. In 1880, Khabarovka became the center of Primorsky Oblast and transformed into a town. In 1893, the town was renamed Khabarovsk.

In 1894, the Amur (Khabarovsk) department of the Russian Geographical Society was created with a museum (the Khabarovsk Regional Museum of Local Lore) and a library. In 1895, the first vocational technical school was opened - the railway school of the Ministry of Railways. During these years, a lot of stone houses were built in Khabarovsk. Most of them are preserved in the city to this day.

In 1897, the first train departed from the Khabarovsk railway station. The Ussuri Railway connected Khabarovsk with Vladivostok. The population of the town was about 14,900 people.

Khabarovsk in the 20th century and beyond

In 1916, the construction of a railway bridge over the Amur was completed and Khabarovsk was connected by the Amur Railway with Eastern Siberia.

November 14, 1922, after the liquidation of the Far Eastern Republic, Khabarovsk became part of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. On December 6, 1923, the administrative center of the Russian Far East was transferred to Khabarovsk from Chita. In 1925, the railway bridge over the Amur was restored.

On January 4, 1926, Far Eastern Krai was formed with its center in Khabarovsk. The population of the city was about 52 thousand people. On October 23, 1934, the Far Eastern Agricultural Research Institute was established in Khabarovsk. In 1936, Khabarovsk was connected by rail with Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

By 1939, the population of Khabarovsk increased to 200 thousand people. From June 1940, the command of the Far Eastern Front was deployed in Khabarovsk. From August 1945, the headquarters of the High Command of Soviet Forces in the Far East and the command of the 1st Far Eastern Front were stationed in the city.

On March 16, 1946, the Khabarovsk Drama Theater was created. In 1949, a trial was held in Khabarovsk in the case of former members of the Japanese Kwantung Army. The most significant changes in the city occurred in the post-war decades.

In 1960, the Khabarovsk television studio began broadcasting. On October 24, 1964, the Khabarovsk Shipyard produced the first “Rocket”, a famous Soviet hydrofoil ship. On September 1, 1967, the Khabarovsk Institute of Physical Education (the Far Eastern State Academy of Physical Culture) was opened. On September 1, 1968, the Khabarovsk State Institute of Arts and Culture was opened.

In 1975, the population of Khabarovsk was about 502,000 people. By 1990, Khabarovsk was formed as a multifunctional economic center of national importance. The population reached its maximum of 616 thousand people.

In May 2000, federal districts were formed in the Russian Federation. Khabarovsk became the center of the Far Eastern Federal District. In 2008, the railway station was completely renovated. In 2009, the reconstruction of the bridge across the Amur was finished. In late summer - early fall of 2013, Khabarovsk was affected by flooding, which became the strongest over the entire observation period since 1897.

On December 13, 2018, the center of the Far Eastern Federal District was moved from Khabarovsk to Vladivostok.

Khabarovsk - Features

Khabarovsk is often considered the capital of the Russian Far East. The city is located in Asia, in the southern part of the Central Amur Lowland, near the confluence of the Amur and Ussuri rivers, about 17 km from the border with China. The city stands on the elevated right bank of the Amur River, the relief of which is diverse and complex.

The distance from Moscow to Khabarovsk by roads is about 8,250 km, to Vladivostok - 750 km. About half of the population of Khabarovsk Krai lives in this city. Khabarovsk is a bit similar to the large cities of the Volga region. Here you can see similar new buildings wedging chaotically into the cityscape and an abundance of pre-revolutionary architecture.

Although Khabarovsk can’t boast of Vladivostok’s seaside flavor or all-Russian sights, it’s still worth coming here, and to some extent this is inevitable: all routes of the Khabarovsk region converge here.

The climate in Khabarovsk is temperate monsoon, with snowy cold winters and hot humid summers. The average temperature in January is minus 20.5 degrees Celsius, in July - plus 21.8 degrees Celsius. The number of sunny days per year is significantly higher than in a number of large cities of Russia (up to 300 days a year; in Moscow and St. Petersburg - about 100).

From November to March, very dry and frosty continental air with clear and sunny weather is established over the city. The best time to visit Khabarovsk is June and September when the weather is not too hot.

Khabarovsk is a major hub at the junction of water, air, rail, and road communications from the north and west of the country, Primorye, Sakhalin, and the ports of Khabarovsk Krai. The Trans-Siberian Railway passes through the city, as well as the railway line to Komsomolsk-on-Amur. This city is the connecting point of the federal highways “Amur” (Chita - Khabarovsk), “Ussuri” (Khabarovsk - Vladivostok), and Khabarovsk - Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Urban transport includes trams, trolleybuses, buses, minibuses, and taxis.

The international airport “Novy” offers regular flights to Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Vladivostok, Yakutsk, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Magadan, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Seoul (South Korea), Tokyo (Japan).

The design of the Russian 5,000 rubles banknote features Khabarovsk. On its front side you can see the monument to Muravyov-Amursky (the founder of Khabarovsk and Vladivostok) on the background of the embankment of the Amur River. The Khabarovsk bridge over the Amur is depicted on the back of the banknote. At the time of construction, in 1916, it was one of the longest bridges in the world and was called “The Amur Miracle”.

The fork-shaped cross depicted on the coat of arms of Khabarovsk symbolizes the location of the city at the confluence of the Amur and Ussuri rivers. Fish reminds of the main occupation of the first residents - fishing. The white-breasted bear and the Amur tiger are endemic to the Amur land.

The questions of our visitors

The comments of our visitors.

I lived in Khabarovsk for many years. I was an American working there. I spoke fluent Russian and pretty much blended right in. No one guessed I was a foreigner. I made lots of truly wonderful friends some of whom became like family.

I walked about any time I felt like it and never had any sort of problems. I lived in several other cities, including Moscow and St. Petersburg and Khabarovsk is my favorite. If I could figure out a way to live there permanently, I would with pleasure.

I had the pleasure of flying a number of flights to Khabarovsk in the early 1990's. I met some wonderful people, one very special person. While the city was in a semi state of disrepair, it still held the historic beauty of its earlier years.

It has been over 20 years since my visit and I would very much like to return. Perhaps not in this life time but the memories live on.

Khabarovsk Architecture

Khabarovsk architecture surprises with its harmonious blending of varying types and styles. This is due in large part to major changes which the city underwent in the mid-19th-early 20th centuries in conjunction with developments in the political, economic, scientific and technical spheres. The search for new trends in architecture came after the death of the classicism style, which had dominated the Russian Empire and the wider world for centuries. Beginning in the mid-19th century, the practice of mixing eclectic architectural styles began to emerge, leading to an era of amazing stylistic improvisations.

During the final decades of Romanov reign, many educational institutions for architects and engineers were opened. As a result, the face of numerous Russian cities began to change rapidly. Art Nouveau - a new, modern trend that absorbed several preceding styles – had come to dominate the architectural scene.

Many Art Nouveau buildings can still be seen in central Khabarovsk. These include:

• Takeuchi apartment building (5 Muravyov-Amursky Street)
• Esplanade Hotel (18 Muravyov-Amursky Street)
• Luhta apartment building (84 Komsomolskaya Street)
• Zandau apartment building (34 Muravyov-Amursky Street)

Khabarovsk also has many Gothic buildings, a style distinguished by its elegance and attention to detail. Every element of Gothic architecture emphasize a vertical orientation, as seen in the massive walls and columns, round arches and wide windows which contrast with narrow towers, pointed peaks and lancet windows.

Khabarovsk’s Gothic architecture is best represented by the artillery warehouse buildings located at 16 Komsomolskaya Street. Another notable example is the Red Guard Headquarters (105 Komsomolskaya Street), which has been preserved in its original form. The complex consists of two identical two-story brick buildings with unusual motifs containing pseudo-gothic elements.

Also of note is the early 20th-century Treasury Building, a luxurious red brick structure with openwork balconies that exudes an architectural grace.

Khabarovsk also has many Soviet-era buildings which were mostly designed in the constructivism style. Characterized by their enormous size and grotesque shapes, they often occupy most of the block and dominate the surrounding space.

During your Khabarovsk excursion, be sure to appreciate its unique architectural heritage by going for a walk downtown .

Khabarovsk Attractions

The layout of Khabarovsk is very simple: its 3 main streets of Lenin, Muravyov-Amursky and Seryshev pass through the downtown area, while Ussuriysky and Amur Boulevards run perpendicular to them. A distinctive feature of Khabarovsk are its many hills, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes for your walk.

Begin your walking tour of Khabarovsk from the train station, where you can see the monument to Yerofey Khabarov, the famous explorer for whom the city is named. Nearby is a sculpture of a double-headed eagle, erected in memory of soldiers, officers and builders of the Far Eastern Railway. Moving from the station along Amur Boulevard you will reach the central market, just past which is Lenin Square. A spacious area with a granite fountain in the center, it is the main plaza of Khabarovsk and the site of the city’s Christmas and New Year celebrations. Next to the square is Dynamo Park, famous for its three ponds and Ferris wheel.

From Lenin Square, move along Muravyov-Amursky Street to reach Amur Embankment, passing most of Khabarovsk’s famous 19th-20th century buildings along the way. Descend to the embankment via two grand staircases or make a small detour onto Shevchenko Street, where you can follow the slope until you reach the embankment’s main stretch. Among other things, the area is home to the House of Officers and three museums.

As you move along the embankment through a park you will come across the city symbol of Khabarovsk, a building set on a steep cliff above the Amur River. It was at the foot of this cliff that the founders of a military post, the first semblance of civilization in the area, first landed.

After reaching the river and walking along Ussuriysky Boulevard to Turgenev Street, turn right to reach Glory Square. Here you will find another famous Khabarovsk landmark, Transfiguration Cathedral, along with a magnificent view of the Amur River and its dreamy islands. Glory Square concludes the main walking route of Khabarovsk, but from here you can reach any part of the city by public transport or taxi .

Khabarovsk Cultural Life

Khabarovsk entertainment centers around its many theaters and museums. Visit Khabarovsk Museum of Local Lore to get a better glimpse of city and regional life. Children and adults alike will want to visit Fishes of Amur River Museum, an aquarium which is home to some 90 species of the underwater world. To catch the vibe of local artists, head to the Far Eastern Art Museum.

There are several theaters in Khabarovsk, each of which is worth visiting:

• Khabarovsk Regional Puppet Theater;
• Triad Pantomime Theater;
• Khabarovsk Regional Philharmonic;
• White Theater, and others.

In addition, Khabarovsk offers several concert halls, culture houses, cinemas and art institutions .

Khabarovsk Souvenirs

While the city’s souvenir selection is not as diverse as in other Russian cities, guests can still find something suited to their tastes on their tour to Khabarovsk. Amur River and the Sea of Japan offer an abundance of seafood that can be tasted on the spot or brought home in dried or smoked form. Yet it is the rich culture of the local indigenous peoples which provides the largest selection of national souvenirs.

If you’re looking for an original gift, traditional Nanai slippers are comfortable and warm. Sewn from leather or fabric and decorated in a bright, colorful style before being trimmed with fur, they make the perfect house shoes in winter. Traditional decorations include amulets which are made from animal bones, fur or fabrics and decorated with ribbons and colored beads.

Standard souvenirs like plates, magnets, mugs and flasks stamped with images of Khabarovsk or its coat of arms can be purchased in souvenir shops, which are mostly located downtown and at the airport and railway station.
