Birmingham was once known as the city of a thousand trades, and it was on this foundation that the city grew into what is now a bustling metropolis, with a myriad of bars, restaurants and shops to explore. The Jewellery Quarter is the home of Britain’s jewellery trade, and with over 200 listed buildings and over fifty independent bars, cafes and restaurants, is a must-see area of the city. If you’re here with the family, you’ll be spoiled for choice. From the National Sea Lift Centre and Cadbury World, to Thinktank Science Museum and Aston Hall, you certainly won’t be stuck for things to do.
