Birmingham is still somewhat of a hidden gem in the United Kingdom. Many people who come to Britain often opt to spend their time in London, without looking to experience any other city. Some of the best cities in the country are located elsewhere, with Birmingham being one of the best for a break experiencing something new.

The second-city has a variety of different things to see and do, which means that it is able to excel no matter what you’re looking to do on your weekend away. But, why should you visit Birmingham when you next get the chance to do so?


Excellent Hotels

When it comes to a weekend away, you want to ensure that you are staying at the best possible accommodation. Birmingham has every base covered on this front. There are different options depending on whether you want to stay in the middle of the city, or on the outskirts with picturesque surroundings.

The Hyatt Regency dates back to the 90s, and is still the benchmark for hotels in the city centre, while The Edgbaston is located away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The latter of which is also one of the best cocktail bars in the entire city, according to WeLoveBrum.co.uk. Hotel Indigo and Hotel du Vin are also prominent picks for those looking for luxurious breaks in the second city. 


Extravagant Nightlife

Birmingham’s nightlife is legendary, as they excel at having a vast number of bars that cater to a broad variety of tastes. No matter whether you are looking for a club or a bar, the city has you covered. The same can also be said for what you’re looking to drink. There are a host of bars, which specialise in local beers, while gin and prosecco bars are also located around the city.

The most popular place to drink for a luxurious night out is on the canal, which in the summer is absolutely beautiful. You can spend hours sitting outside just watching the world go by, as there are a number of canal-side bars. Should you be a gin drinker, then the Gin Vault is the best place to be. It is a small bar with tables on the side of the canal. There are hundreds of types of gin to choose from, with the staff that work behind the bar being able to tell you the perfect mixer for your chosen gin.


There’s So Much To Do

In truth, a weekend may not be enough time to do everything that you want to in Birmingham. There are so many things to see in the city that you will spend the whole day wanting to see more. There are museums such as The Black Country Museum and ThinkTank. Meanwhile, Cadbury World is a perfect day out for families, while the Botanical Gardens are stunning. Birmingham also plays host to the oldest operating cinema in the UK, which is called the Electric Cinema.

With so much to do in the second city, you will be planning on returning once again in the not so distant future.
