Birmingham United Kingdom

Birmingham, Britain's second-largest city, was during the 19th century the focus of the industrial revolution, which makes it very attractive for fans of industrial heritage. Its new cultural openness, materialized in urban redevelopment plans, will enthral all visitor. The history of the city is fascinating and in the new 'Birmingham, its people, its history' galleries visitors can explore the city's global heritage. These galleries are located at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, where visitors can, also, admire one of the best pre-Raphaelite collections in the world. Also worth a visit is the science museum Thinktank Science Museum, which houses 10 thematic galleries full of interactive fun, a digital planetarium and a science garden outdoors. The Selfridges building its one of the city’s most iconic sight due to its futuristic shape. Next to it we find St Martins Church, the church is hundreds of years old and the stunning gothic appearance of the church stands out beautifully next to the ultra-modern Bullring commercial area and Selfridges building, is worth admiring the contrast of the modern buildings with the temple. If you fancy something different, explore the city on one of the canal boats; Birmingham has more miles of canals than Venice and offers fantastic landscapes. For more outdoor fun, we must visit Lickey Hills, a range of beautiful hills just outside of Birmingham. Here visitors will enjoy a relaxing stroll surrounded by leafy trees, squirrels and a stunning nature that inspired Tolkien to write the Lord of the Rings. Alongside outstanding museums and galleries you'll find an increasing number of gastronomic choices, cool and lively cocktail bars, and waterside bars and restaurants. Friendly and diverse, Birmingham has become Britain’s new tourism hotspot.
