The second-largest city in the UK and situated right in its heart, Birmingham has managed to shed its industrial, factory-town reputation to become the arts and cultural powerhouse it is today. As befits its title of "City of a Thousand Trades," Birmingham is still an important manufacturing centre and one of the most business-friendly cities in the UK, but it also boasts the world-class City of Birmingham Orchestra and Birmingham Royal Ballet, as well as a wealth of splendid Victorian architecture.

The city's compact layout means you'll see striking examples of its beautiful architecture at every turn, even while walking.
