Birmingham has improved immensley over the past decade so don't be put off by what some people have written. They've obviously not been. For shopping definately head for the bullring. It's amazing. While you're there you can pop into Wagamammas (noodle bar) for lunch. The food is fantastic and very reasonabley priced. You get big portions too. You could go and see a show at the birmingham hippodrome. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is on at the moment - it's not just for kids! In the evening head down to The Mailbox for funky bars and restaurants. Expensive though so it depends on your budget. The Arcadian centre on hurst street is nice and has a good mix of bars and restaurants. I've been to the teppanyaki bar there which was good fun as they cook your food in front of you, throw it in the air etc...But for goodness sake stay away from Broad street! It's a mecca for hen and stag nights - you get the idea!! I could go on but just google birmingham tourist info and you'll get lots of sites. Try www.mybrum.co.uk for loads of info. Hope you have a good break.

Don't listen to the Brummie Bashers!!
Birmingham is a great place to visit. The bull ring is beautiful and there are a few eateries by St Martin's Church. If you get chance you must visit The Bacchus which is a bar underneath the Burlington Hotel - Well worth a visit! Also Brindley Place is nice by the canals.
I suggest the people who are so quick to put down Brum, get of their asses and come to see how nice it is!

From Central Park on down seriously to Lady Liberty are just a few of the crucial what to see in New York City and the rest of them you'll learn whenever you arrive here with the help of this web site Hotelbye . No one may visit New York without strolling, a minumum of one time through Central Park. Central Park is a very major park with a lot of exciting places like: the tranquil Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, the Sheep Meadow throughout the summer or the lines from Lewis Carroll's poem “Jabberwocky” inscribed across the base of the Alice in Wonderland statue
