Attractions in Birmingham
You’d need more than a weekend to properly explore and enjoy all of the attractions in Birmingham but if you’re stuck for time, here’s a highlight reel.
The heart of Birmingham revolves around Victoria Square, a pedestrian-friendly zone filled with some of the most impressive and intricate Victorian architecture. Notable buildings include Birmingham Town Hall, Symphony Hall and a Renaissance-style Council House. Take a short stroll to the Coffin Museum, which gives a great overview of the history and traditions of coffin making in Birmingham and is worth including in your travel itinerary.
Another great attraction for locals and tourists is the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. These 19-century gardens are set across a magnificent 15-acres of tended and manicured green space. You’ll see tropical birds, plants and flowers and a very impressive collection of bonsai trees. A great way to spend a sunny afternoon in nature.
The Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, considered one of the finest of its kind outside of London, contains treasures, famous artworks and artifacts & displays from the city’s history including archaeological finds dating back to the Stone Age.
If you’re travelling with children, you do not want to pass up a visit to Think Tank, Birmingham’s Science Museum. This award-winning museum contains a huge number of science related exhibits, many of which are interactive, giving young and old the opportunity to experience and learn in a hands-on environment.Â
Another stop on your trip to explore the best of the city is Birmingham’s Back to Backs attraction. This unique display of small “back-to-back” homes, popular in the mid-19thcentury, gives us a fascinating insight into what life was like for working class people in those days.
