Birmingham City Guide for Tourists - Travel

Birmingham is a city centrally located in the UK; Birmingham was the second officially populated city in the UK after London. Being so centrally located and established has given the city a wide diversity of inhabitants in turn generating a good selection of tourist attractions when you visit Birmingham.

Lots of people especially those from the countryside will think about Birmingham and think of old industrial buildings, loud roads, skyscrapers and the things usually associated with cities. While most of this is actually true there are some hidden gems in Birmingham longing to be unlocked and well worth a visit as a tourist.

Birmingham is home to Cadburys and the Cadbury village Bournville and Cadbury World, a fantastic family day out for children young and old watch chocolate actually being made and all the processes in between.

The village itself is rich in history and details both the history of the great confectionery company and chocolate.

Birmingham has fantastic and long established Botanical Gardens, which opened in 1832, which have not changed much (other than the plants etc) since turned into a Botanical Garden for the people of Birmingham.

Birmingham is home to many galleries much like any major city and offers something for every type of art admirer from modern art to classic and even student art at the University of Birmingham. The most notable Gallery is the Barber home to some Monet and Pablo Picasso pieces, true classics.

In and around Birmingham is Dudley which is home to the Dudley Castle, with hundreds of years of deep history is now an active museum where staff act out rolls within which would have been undertaken when the castle was used as a castle, within the same grounds as the castle is a small zoo.

The zoo has a variety of wild life including birds and mammals. When the castle and zoo are combined it is a fantastic day out for the children and parents alike.

Birmingham as mentioned previously is centrally located, giving you access to many smaller cities that are within short driving distance such as Telford with its famous Iron bridge, Nottingham with its famous forest, Durby, Stoke-on-trent, Coventry to name a few. The roads and public transport are efficient and come highly recommended as an alternative to driving. While the roads are good driving here like any city around rush hour etc isn't the best experience.
