Things to do in Birmingham
Birmingham is England's second city and its most underrated: the canals, the great museum, the balti, the Jewellery Quarter. Industrial heritage, creative present.
Photos for Birmingham are still on their way. Every listing below is real.
The city
Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery
The Pre-Raphaelite treasure house and the Staffordshire Hoard. The great free museum.
The canals
More canals than Venice: the Gas Street Basin, the towpath walks, the narrowboats. The industrial poetry.
Quarters
Jewellery Quarter
The workshops, the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter, the historic pubs. The craft heart.
Cadbury World
The chocolate factory tour: the history, the tasting, the Bournville village. The family essential.
