Have you noticed that fewer people are taking a summer vacation to the usual sun and sand destinations this year? One of the main reasons for this is, obviously, the state of the present economic climate but another reason is that more and more folk are looking for a vacation offering something a little bit different. One place which is a superb vacation destination which answers both these issues is the fascinating city of Birmingham in England. Firstly booking your own city hotel (rather than booking a package vacation) will save you a small fortune and coupled with the fact that the British pound is struggling against foreign currencies England is the vacation destination of choice. Secondly city vacations are now more popular than ever and the city of Birmingham ticks all the right boxes for a superb city vacation, such as excellent facilities, extremely interesting places to visit, plenty of bars restaurants, cafes and the likes as well as more cultural attractions such as museums and galleries of the highest standards.
The city of Birmingham has a superb collection of things to do and places to visit including a few interesting museums and art galleries, for example the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, Museum of the Jewellery Quarter, Barber Institute of Fine Arts and the new museum called Thinktank in the Eastside. The city also possesses a large number of square miles of parkland and woodland, Sutton Park being the largest with 2,400 acres making it the very largest urban nature reserve in the whole of Europe.
