Birmingham

As the second largest city in the UK, Birmingham is a draw for tourists from all over the world. Historically, it was renowned for manufacturing bicycles and motorcycles, but today it is home to a wide variety of attractions, from its botanical gardens to Cadbury World. Hotels in Birmingham offer rooms to suit all budgets and requirements. The city also hosts a Russell Group university, a hippodrome and four Michelin-star restaurants. From Birmingham, you can explore the counties of Warwickshire, Staffordshire and Worcestershire, all of which make up the city’s outskirts. You may not know that Birmingham actually has more kilometres of canals than Venice does. Many visitors – and locals – enjoy hopping on canal boats and exploring the city from the water. This is a great way to get a feel for the city when you first arrive.

Like the rest of the UK, Birmingham has warm summers and cold winters. Visit in July and August to enjoy the warmest weather, when temperatures average around 17°C. In December, January and February, expect temperatures of around 3°C.No matter when you visit Birmingham, there will always be something to do. If you’re in the city in March, you could catch Crufts, a dog show that takes place in Birmingham’s NEC Arena. Birmingham Pride is celebrated in May. In July, at the height of the holiday season, Birmingham’s Jazz and Blues Festival starts up; this musical extravaganza is made up of performances in a range of different venues throughout the city.Later in the year, the Birmingham Comedy Festival entertains the city’s residents. Travel to Birmingham in October to attend this. These are just a few of the festivities that take place; there are more going on throughout the year.

This is a trendy area, where people can gather by the canal.
