Birmingham is the second city of England, but in many circles has a bad reputation which is largely undeserved. Facing the dubious honour of being neither North nor South but truly Midlands territory, the city centre has been dramatically improved in the recent era. For a start, there are the magnificent facilities such as the international convention centre (ICC) and the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) a little way out of town. Also, there is a marvellous jewellery quarter in Hockley, on the way to Smethwick when on the way out of the town centre, which is worth an afternoon of anyone’s shopping time. Nightlife is famous and varied, from trendy clubs like Bakers and the Steering Wheel worth a look if you are on the look for a wild night out, to classy restaurant, hotels and brasseries which can be found on Broad Street.

Advantages: Mostly free, fascinating, reflects the city's industrial heritage Disadvantages: Not well publicised enough, buried under the city's poor reputation

Review of Birmingham in general
Advantages: Huge, multi-cultural, lots to do and see, nice atmosphere. Disadvantages: Far from the coast, some of the buildings, the spaghetti junction and the accent.
