Birmingham is the UK's second city and just under an hour for me on the train from Stratford Upon Avon so I regularly visit for events, dining, shopping and entertainment. Being from the midlands all my life, I have seen Birmingham become a thriving city, welcoming 41.8 million visitors in 2017 alone. Helped by the fact it has the most Michelin-starred restaurants outside of London, home to Cadbury's Chocolate, the NEC and over 100 balti houses and so much more!
I decided to spend the day in Birmingham with my university friend Louise to show you that Birmingham is a great day out for everyone and has plenty of things to see and do. If you wanted to spend the weekend in Birmingham to explore the many museums, Cadburys World or even see a show at the theatre there are plenty of hotels in Birmingham for you to choose from.
