Tres Jolie Tourism LLC - Dubai: Birmingham, AL

Birmingham, AL United Kingdom

Birmingham, Britain's second-largest city, was the epicenter of the industrial revolution during the 19th century, making it a highly attractive destination for fans of industrial heritage. Its newfound cultural openness, evident in urban redevelopment plans, will captivate all visitors. The city's history is fascinating, and in the new 'Birmingham, its people, its history' galleries, visitors can explore the city's global heritage. These galleries are located at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, where visitors can also admire one of the best pre-Raphaelite collections in the world. The Thinktank Science Museum is also worth a visit, featuring 10 thematic galleries full of interactive fun, a digital planetarium, and an outdoor science garden. The Selfridges building is one of the city’s most iconic sights due to its futuristic shape. Next to it is St Martins Church, which is hundreds of years old, and its stunning gothic appearance beautifully contrasts with the ultra-modern Bullring commercial area and Selfridges building. The contrast between the modern buildings and the historic church is worth admiring. If you're in the mood for something different, explore the city on one of the canal boats; Birmingham has more miles of canals than Venice and offers fantastic landscapes. For more outdoor fun, a visit to Lickey Hills is a must. This range of beautiful hills just outside of Birmingham offers visitors a relaxing stroll surrounded by leafy trees, squirrels, and stunning nature that inspired Tolkien to write The Lord of the Rings. Alongside outstanding museums and galleries, you'll find an increasing number of gastronomic choices, cool and lively cocktail bars, and waterside bars and restaurants. Friendly and diverse, Birmingham has become Britain’s new tourism hotspot.
