Eten en drinken

The diverse and dynamic culture of the city is reflected in the wide choice of international cuisine and restaurants in Birmingham. Most famous of all is the area in the city known as the 'Balti Triangle'. This delicacy (a uniquely spiced curry served in an iron pot) originated on the Indian sub-continent and was perfected by chefs in Birmingham restaurants. You’ll enjoy a memorable meal and at good value for money.

Winkelen

Birmingham is a shopper’s paradise, with restored arcades, modern malls and markets, boutiques and high street stores. Don’t miss the Bullring in the heart of the city. With 140 shops and 2 department stores (including the architecturally stunning Selfridges), your only problem will be choosing where to start first!

Muziek en nachtleven

When it comes to nightlife in Birmingham, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Brindleyplace in the city’s canalside development is the perfect place to start the night. Broad Street, lined with pubs, clubs and restaurants, is one of the busiest quarter miles in Europe. And no visit to Birmingham is complete without discovering the delights of the Jewellery Quarter and St Paul’s Square, where you’ll find great live music.
