Birmingham City Breaks - Defying expectations
Weekend breaks in Birmingham tend to defy expectations and force many visitors to rethink long held clichés regarding England’s second largest city. In common with cities like Bilbao, Barcelona and Manchester, much of the appeal of a short break in Birmingham lies in the city’s dynamic sense of urban renewal and reinvention, and its growing reputation for wide-ranging entertainment and nightlife. Yet among all the ground-breaking development, Birmingham city break visitors can also experience a little history, via the city’s oldest buildings, its traditional pubs, and its fine museums and galleries. Visitors may be surprised to find Birmingham city breaks offer the world’s finest collection of Pre-Raphaelite art, a groundbreaking contemporary multimedia gallery, and a cinema complex and casino that rank among the largest in Britain.
