Take an flight to the UK’s second largest city, Birmingham, and explore a contemporary metropolis of culture and commerce. This was where the heart of industrial Britain once beat most strongly, a city where major discoveries were made.
Famed in the Victorian era as the Workshop of the World and the City of a Thousand Trades, Birmingham has a thrilling story to tell. With its old factories, now beautifully restored, the old craftsmen’s workshops, the picturesque canals winding through the city and the mysterious landscapes which inspired the Middle Earth of J.R.R. Tolkien in his Lord of the Rings, multicultural Birmingham has a thousand hidden treasures with which to surprise the visitor. One such surprise is the recent transformation of the city into the British Mecca of festivals, nightlife and shopping. These, and the city’s history, make it one of the world’s travel destinations whose popularity is increasing.
