The best things to do in Birmingham

Birmingham has long been one of the UK’s most underrated cities, with London and Manchester often taking the crown. Behind the scenes, Birmingham has slowly become one of the country’s must visit destinations, with brand new attractions, restaurants and shops across the city centre following the success of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, which has put Birmingham firmly on traveller’s radars. Far from being the industrial hub it was historically known as, the city is home to rich cultures and flavours, a buzzing live music scene and beautiful outdoor spaces.
