After London, Birmingham is the largest city in England, but gets little tourist recognition. Birmingham is a really sweet and beautiful city, full of culture, amazing architecture, and a more laid back atmosphere than London.
If you’re in England and want to be in a new place that’s still a big city, Birmingham is just right for you.
In the city center of Birmingham, you can visit the free Birmingham Museum Art and Gallery.
And just a 20-minute walk outside the city center you can also go to a super fun science museum called the Thinktank. This museum has actually won many awards, and there are activities for people of all ages to participate in.
If you want to see a fun and unique historic part of the city, you should go see the famous movie house The Electric. The theater is more than 100 years old, and it is actually the oldest in-use movie theater in the entire United Kingdom!
You can’t go to Birmingham without trying some local cuisine, and though there are a lot of classic dishes to go for, if it’s traditional fish and chips you’re looking for, Dad’s Lane Fish Bar is one of the best you’ll find.
