Birmingham Attractions And Things To Do

Discover the bold, creative revival of Birmingham, the UK’s second-largest city and the beating heart of the Midlands, where the iconic canals—more miles than Venice—wind through the revitalized city centre past the futuristic Selfridges “Bubblewrap” building, the historic Gas Street Basin, and the peaceful Brindleyplace district lined with waterside bars and restaurants. Explore the world-class Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery with its stunning Pre-Raphaelite collection and the Edwardian Tea Room, wander the bustling Bullring and Grand Central for shopping under the dramatic Rotunda, or catch live music and comedy at the iconic O2 Academy and the historic Alexandra Theatre—all in a city that perfectly blends gritty industrial legacy (the birthplace of heavy metal and the Balti triangle), cutting-edge architecture, and the warm, multicultural spirit of Brum.

Savor a proper Balti curry in the original Birmingham Balti Triangle, creamy afternoon tea at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground, craft beers from the booming Digbeth microbrewery scene, and fresh Custard Factory street food amid canal reflections, neon lights, and the unmistakable energy of a city that’s proud, diverse, and always reinventing itself.

Birmingham isn’t just a destination—it’s the UK’s most dynamic fusion of canals, culture, curry, and unstoppable Midlands soul—plan your Birmingham adventure today!
