Birmingham Vacation Guide

Birmingham is the UK's second largest city. It is a thriving city, perfect for a shopping spree with The Bullring and The Mailbox, just outside the centre. The city caters for most tastes with many hidden, unique shops, as well as the high street stores and fantastic places to eat; prices to suit any pocket.

The nightlife is varied, you may just want to spend your evening in a bar or pub, or sample some of the city's clubs. Broad Street is perfect for a bit of a pub crawl, or even try the Harborne Run! If you'd prefer something more relaxed why not book yourself a nice comfy leather sofa in The Electrica cinema, and have a bottle of wine brought to you whilst you watch anything from foreign cinema, old favourites or even some of the new releases in the comfortable surroundings of this 1920s cinema.

If you enjoy theatre and the arts, then the Birmingham Rep - with its main auditorium and studio theatre - offers a wide range of performances to suit every taste, including children's shows and ground breaking new writing. The Alexandra and The Old Rep are 2 more theatres that can be found near the city centre. Birmingham Hippodrome is the home of the Birmingham Royal Ballet, and hosts many musicals and other dance performances throughout the year, alongside "straight" plays and celebrity shows.

An important tourist attraction is the Canal, where the visitors can find a cozy environment for dining.
