Whether you are a party animal or looking for a place to chill out and relax, Birmingham is the destination for you. With a thriving economy and a booming nightlife, Birmingham is still steeped in History which gives it many historical and cultural attractions. (see About Birmingham).

Unless you are staying for close to an eternity you will not be able to see all that Birmingham has to offer but here are some suggestions that may tickle your fancy while you visit:

Entertainment: Right now there are many acts on at the National Event Centre located in The city of Birmingham. If you're staying the night in some of our accommodation in the area then it is really easy for you to get back from after a show or performance.

The Sea-Life center can be a good place to spend some time with the loved ones. Once again, situated by the NEC as well as Brindley Place/Broad-street it is situated in a good location that has a little something for everybody.

The IMAX movie theatre is an additional recommendation - With such a huge screen it is one of the very best ways to experience a motion picture. The sound is every bit as good as the picture element and simply leaves you feeling like you have walked straight into the flick rather than just staying at a movie theater to watch it.

Cannon Hill Park - Yet another excellent spot for the family members especially in the summer time. You can find tennis surfaces, cycle pathways and paddle boats so you are sure to enjoy your visit.

Botanical Gardens - Outdoor scenic complex consisting of six primary gardens: The Loudon Terrace, Primary Lawn & Bandstand, Historic Gardens, West Lawn and Herbaceous Border, The Herb Garden and the National Bonsai Collection - Again a excellent place to check out with the household.

Cadbury's World - this is quick to get to from the city centre and is a fantastic experience that would definitely be recommended.
As you will see, the city of Birmingham has a little something for absolutely everyone, additional info is accessible on the internet if you need more specific facts. If you need to get around the City then the frequent buses and trains really should make sure that you are never far away from where you need to be. (see Getting Here).

Music: There are fantastic concerts and events year round in The city of Birmingham. The 02 academy is a great way to see all of the hottest indie and metal bands perform in the region - there is a really varied music scene in the city of Birmingham so you will always discover something to match your personal preference.

Shopping: The Bullring Shopping Centre is a must. There are some fantastic shops situated in the bullring shopping centre which  is excellent for choosing treats and is great close to Christmas time in particular. Birmingham is a shopaholic's dream and must be seen to be believed!
