Whether you are in town for a mini history lesson, to admire the city’s incredible art collection, or simply to relax and explore, Birmingham is an historic city that is alive with activity both during the day and once the sun has set.
Days in Birmingham are best spent exploring the city’s many museums. You will be able to draw a lot of similarities to the UK city of Birmingham was named after, especially if you visit the Birmingham Museum of Art, which has the largest collection of Wedgwood pottery outside the UK. You do not have to spend your day inside to appreciate the city’s best art, however. With many sculpture parks architectural wonders to be found all over the city, there are many great spots to check out. In fact, you can even join an Art Crawl on Thursday evenings to discover the best eclectic art the city has to offer.
In case you are looking to treat your taste buds to something special during your trip to Birmingham, book your dinner at the much-loved FIVE bar and restaurant and order the crab cakes or grilled shrimp. Their seafood is to die for! Chez Fon Fon is where you will find the best burger in town, while the homemade donuts at Urban Standard are the perfect early morning or late afternoon snack.
