Once an Anglo-Saxon settlement, later a wool-trading town and then a key player in the Industrial Revolution, today this is a lively university city in the West Midlands.

This historic district of Birmingham is well-known for its jewelry shops and factories, museums and galleries, music venues and restaurants.

One of the most expansive city parks in all of Europe, this enormous green space is great for a walk or a picnic.
