Our second largest city, ‘Brum’ was home to the pioneers of the industrial revolution and their legacy can still be seen today: from the extensive network of canals to the newly converted and renovated factories and warehouses. With a vibrant restaurant and night life and first class shopping, it makes for a cosmopolitan city break.
Go on, break out of the hen house and Flock Somewhere New with some of our top picks of the season.
