Birmingham is the UK’s largest city outside of London and is a major centre for education, the transport, retail, and events industries, as well as being an important conference hub. The vibrant, international metropolis is home to some of the country’s major cultural institutions, and boasts a wealth of landmarks, cultural centres, and heritage sites. With influential art, music, sports, literary, and culinary scenes, it comes as no surprise that Birmingham is the fourth-most visited city in the UK by foreign visitors. The city is a popular destination for leisure travellers, groups, and business travellers alike.
