| Useful Tips |
| - by Anna from Madeira |
| Public transport is crap! Advice is simple - hire yourself a budget car and save yourself the hassle. Parking is awkward, but after 19.00 it’s free. Traffic can be busy, but most of the times you can drive normally. Don’t speed! |
| Birmingham Overview |
Thought of by many as just an industrial city, Birmingham is often unfairly maligned. Birmingham is situated in the West Midlands of England, and is the country's second largest city. Modern day Birmingham offers a range of activities and with its rich heritage is a great place to visit.
There is much of interest in Birmingham, for one it has an extensive network of canals with excellent developments on the waterside at many points. Birmingham is also culturally thriving and offers an excellent selection of museums. But despite all this, arguably the cities best draw is its thriving nightlife with a great number of restaurants, bars and clubs. |
| Birmingham Essentials |
Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery - This excellent attraction has a great array of art and science spread over two floors.
The art section is probably the best with its highly regarded collection of Pre-Raphaelite art.
St Phillip's Cathedral - This fantastic 18th century building is a must see. St Phillip's Cathedral is a marvellous example of
neoclassical architecture and features some breathtaking stain glass windows.
The Canals - Birmingham has one of the largest and most impressive canal networks in Europe. There are some excellent
developments around the canal - the pick of the bunch being the impressive Brindleyplace with its bars, restaurants, shops and even
an art gallery.
Barber Institute of Fine Arts - This excellent art collection has pieces from over the last 700 years. There is work here from
a range of famous artists including Van Gogh, Monet and Renoir.

history and best of all - to try some. |
