Introduction to Birmingham

Birmingham is well known as the ‘workshop of the world’ and the ‘city of a thousand trades’, during Victorian times, Birmingham is the second largest city in Britain. There may be less trade than there used to be but Birmingham has seen a recent artistic revival, making it one of the best cities to visit for culture, shopping and entertainment in Britain. During its industrial high days, Birmingham’s canals were the city’s lifeblood and it is thought that there are more canals in Birmingham than in Venice! Although Birmingham was largely destroyed during the Second World War,  Birmingham has bounced back with modern architecture and great urban planning, replacing many of its post war buildings to create a city with attractive walkways, pedestrianized areas and beautiful green spaces. From shopping and dining to cycling and arts, Birmingham is a cosmopolitan place for a city break and a great place to start your adventures in Britain.

Things to do in Birmingham


Birmingham is a fantastic city to spend a weekend whether it’s a holiday with friends or a family break - there are plenty of hotels in Birmingham to meet all budgets. The city is fully packed with museums and arts venues such as Birmingham Museum, Aston Hall, The Barber Institute of Fine Arts and Art Gallery and the modern well known IKON gallery. A multi-cultural meeting point, it’s no wonder the city is home to the Birmingham Cathedral, Central Mosque, Central Synagogue and the Buddhist Peace Pagoda all in one place in Birmingham! St Martin in the Bull Ring is a must see sight dating back to the 13th century. Shop fanatics will find everything they are looking for in the Bull Ring Centre while local bustling outdoor markets sell great gifts, cheap deals and local produce products. While kids will be in their element with a trip to Cadbury World or Drayton Manor theme park with its exciting rides; grown-ups can indulge in Birmingham’s theatres, spas, live music venues, fine dining restaurants and cool English clubs/pubs.

Eating and Drinking in Birmingham


From the world famous Balti Triangle, home of the iconic curry itself, to budget restaurants and cool canal view cafes, Edwardian Tea Rooms and vegetarian restaurants to Chinese or Vietnamese noodle bars and traditional old pubs, Birmingham’s cuisines are as varied as its population.

For the best of Birmingham’s clubs, pubs and bars, head to Broad Street for a lively night out. Digbeth has both a large Irish community and a large choice of Irish pubs to choose from, while St. Paul's Square in the Jewellery Quarter is the place to taste the fine food and wine in from the high class restaurants.  

Birmingham weather

Like most of England and the UK, Birmingham has a temperate climate with summer temperatures getting in to the maximum mid twenties while winters get down to around 0 - 5 degrees. Unusually for a major city, Birmingham is known to get quite a lot of snow in the winter months, due to its increased elevation and geographical location. Perfect for the Christmas time!

When to go to Birmingham

Birmingham is a wonderful city to visit all year round with lots of indoor and outdoor activities for the complete family. For the best weather, May tiill September are the sunniest months, but be prepared for rain showers now and then. If you prefer to see Birmingham when there are less tourists, March to May is a good time to visit or from November to January if you don’t mind a bit cooler temperatures. With Christmas markets and festivals with chance of snow, December is a great time to visit Birmingham.  

Flying to Birmingham

Birmingham International Airport is a major airport in the UK / England just 12 km from the city centre and easily reached by taxi , car and bus in around 20 minutes or even only 10 minutes on the express train to New Street Station. There are lots of flights to Birmingham, as many international and domestic flights depart from Birmingham Airport daily, flying everywhere from Amsterdam, Paris, Delhi, Dubai, New York in the US and Toronto in Canada.
