Birmingham

Often referred to as the second city of the United Kingdom, Birmingham has always played an important role in the history of the country.

Its reputation comes from its role during the industrial revolution in England. At the time Birmingham became known as the 'workshop of the world' due to its varied and important output of goods and products.

Remnants of this are present throughout the city, as its industrial importance diminished in the last century.

While Birmingham is now a popular destination for business visitors as one of the country's main economical and business centres, it's also popular with foreign visitors.

Aside from its rich history as an industrial centre, the city is also famous for its vibrant musical history and strong culture and arts.

The city hosts a range of musical festivals and events throughout the year and is home to theatres, museums and other cultural sights of interests including the Rep Theatre, Birmingham Museum & Art gallery and the Ikon Gallery.
