Birmingham: from workshop world to Brummies’ play land

Birmingham is the home to Ozzy Osborn, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Cadbury chocolate. It is also the second largest city in England located in the west midlands county with a history of being an industrial hot-spot place for factory workers. Its key to popularity was its boom in trade industry but now the city is changing into a more vibrant cultural centre. Development and reconstruction goes on after the very destructive Second World War and more and more glamorous shops, cafés and nightclubs are opening. Millions of pounds were poured into a new innovative shopping centre called the Bullring, now one of the biggest retail shopping centres in Europe. Apart from shopping and development, Birmingham has a happening art scene. Head to the city centre and catch a show at the Symphony Hall or a ballet at the Birmingham Hippodrome.

For something more edgy, there are dozens of concert venues down town to keep any visitor busy. It has a lot of shiny and new attractions that are great for both solo travellers and families. Weave your way through the city centre, tracing the steps of Tolkien or taking in some fine art at one of the museums. Succumb to your sweet tooth at the chocolate factory and you’re on your way to enjoying everything that Birmingham has to offer. Art-lovers should head to the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. It is the main art gallery in the city that boasts collections by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the world’s largest collection by Edward Burne-Jones. Chocolate-lovers should make a stop at the Cadbury Factory. This is the namesake museum that shows visitors the stages of chocolate production and the history of chocolate and the Cadbury Company.
