What to see in Birmingham
Must-sees
Birmingham, England’s second city, has more miles of canals than Venice, and those at Brindleyplace and Gas Street Basin are the best place for a stroll. In the centre are the Library of Birmingham, with its ring-patterned façade and rooftop terrace, and the Museum and Art Gallery, with a large Pre-Raphaelite collection.
The Jewellery Quarter keeps its jewellers’ workshops, with a museum in one of them. Cadbury World, the Bullring markets and the streets where Peaky Blinders is set complete the visit.
