Birmingham
Known as the UK’s second city, Birmingham lies in the heart of the Midlands and has enjoyed huge revitalisation. Once a simple medieval market town, by the 18th century industry transformed it into what was considered the first manufacturing town in the world. Today it combines a friendly atmosphere with all the modern attractions of the UK’s largest city after London. Popular with both business travellers and holidaymakers alike, Birmingham offers an alternative view of the UK, and Leonardo Royal Hotel Birmingham provides a comfortable stay in a central location.
Get your bearings
A walk around Birmingham city centre is a great way to familiarise yourself with the area. Much of this place is characterised by its bold architecture, from the iconic Bullring and Mailbox shopping centres to the famous Selfridges building, which appears to have been covered in giant bubble wrap. Of all the Birmingham hotels available, Leonardo Hotel is also enviably placed for locations such as the International Convention Centre and Arena Birmingham.
Don’t miss
Families are well catered for in Birmingham. Those with youngsters should head to the National SEALIFE Centre, where you can get up close with all sorts of marine life, including penguins, sharks, seals and even a giant green sea turtle named Mo. Kids and adults alike will also enjoy a visit to Cadbury World, home to the UK’s much-loved chocolate brand, in nearby Bournville, a short drive or train ride outside the city.
While you’re there
One of the UK’s most multicultural cities, Birmingham claims to be the proud birthplace of the Balti curry, and no one should miss the chance to visit the so-called Balti Triangle for a meal while they’re in town. Elsewhere, you can trace the history of the British jewellery trade in the Jewellery Quarter in the north west of the city, which gives glittering context to this manufacturing powerhouse.
