Birmingham

Birmingham

Once a pioneer of the industrial revolution, Birmingham now boasts an edgy student scene and booming business centre.

Between the buzzing nightlife, incredible shopping, and outstanding cultural offering there’s always something happening – you just need to show up.

The Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery is one of the star attractions. With more than 40 different galleries to explore, all housed within a landmark Grade II listed building, this is the go-to place if you want to immerse yourself in the city's story.

Other star attractions include the Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens, the ThinkTank Birmingham Science Museum and the beautifully restored Soho House.

Just outside the city you've got Shakespeare's Family Homes where you can learn all about the places and people behind the legendary storyteller, with costumed actors and guides bringing the whole experience to life with the help of an array of fascinating exhibitions.
