Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery
This grand gallery first opened its doors in 1885, and has since housed various noteworthy, world-class collections. Although its historic exhibits from around the Birmingham area take up a fair amount of space, it’s also known for its Pre-Raphaelite paintings. Artefacts from Ancient Egypt and the Romans can also be found.
Bullring & Grand Central
There are over 200 stores in Birmingham’s Bullring. This popular shopping centre used to be the best place to go for market stalls back in the Middle Ages. Today, it’s a glamorous choice for a range of high-quality and budget retail, where you can eat and drink too.
Cadbury World
Treat yourself to an experience all about chocolate! At Cadbury World, you can explore the original site of Bournville, and watch as the tempting confectionery is made. Enjoy a tour and taste dark, milk and white chocolate, then sit down to an afternoon tea of indulgent cakes and biscuits.
