Find a cheap flight to Birmingham

Birmingham is served by Birmingham International Airport. Much of Birminghamﾒs city center was destroyed during the Second World War. Since the 1990s, Birmingham has been undergoing a radical change and many of the lack-luster post war buildings have been torn down. The majority of the city center has been pedestrianized. The numerous canals, more than in Venice, make for beautiful places to walk. Known for HP Sauce, Tony Hancock, Cadbury's chocolate, The Lunar Society, Black Sabbath, the Spitfire and the Mini, the city has maintained its industrial heritage as it looks forward in modernity. Explore what led to your favorite works of literature as you see the inspiration behind not only JRR Tolkien, but also Washington Irving and Conan Doyle. Visit Aston Hall, a fully restored Jacobean mansion built between 1618 and 1635 complete with cannon damage from the English Civil War. Birmingham has an extremely lively night life and great shopping.

England is a country filled with history without getting trapped in the past. With world cities like London and more quaint towns like Shrewsbury in Shropshire with its shopping district of black and white buildings, it offers a lot to the visitor. English Heritage has an especially wide-ranging remit and manages more than 400 significant buildings and monuments. England is home to many national parks and things to see like Hadrian's Wall and Stonehenge. Experience Shakespeare in Stratford-upon- Avon. Toast your mates in a pub with a pint or have a curry (Indian food has replaced fish and chips as the nation's most popular food).
