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.
The Bullring: Millions of pounds were poured into a new innovative shopping centre called the Bullring, now one of the biggest retail shopping centres in Europe. Don't miss the giant Selfridges!
Cadbury Factory: Succumb to your sweet tooth at the chocolate factory and you’re on your way to enjoying everything that Birmingham holidays have to offer. Chocolate-lovers should make a stop at the Cadbury Factory to see the stages of chocolate production and the history of chocolate. This place is where chocolate comes alive, from cocoa bean to Caramilk bars.
Arts and music: 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.
