"Birmingham is around a tenth the size of London, but is still full to the brim with brilliant stuff worth travelling for. So much, in fact, that you'll certainly struggle to fit it all into one weekend."
"You can while away the time in the former industrial district digging through vintage gems at Redbrick Market, browsing titles at indie bookshop Voce Press, trying a filthy burger at Original Patty Men, catching a niche movie at Mockingbird Cinema, sinking pints at The Ruin dive bar or boogying at Northern Soul and Motown club The Night Owl."
"Birmingham famously has more miles of canals than Venice and there are plenty of trails that take you along all the best bits. The most famous walking routes include Curzon Street to Aston Junction, Livery Street to the Mailbox and the stretch between Brindley Place and the Gas Street Basin."
