1 day in Birmingham
One day in Birmingham is enough for its centre and one real meal — here's how to spend it, plus what's genuinely on while you're there.
Your one day in Birmingham
With a single day, stay close to Birmingham's walkable centre: its best-known sights, a market or waterfront stretch, and one proper sit-down meal rather than rushing between many stops.
Check what's on below before you go — a live event on your day is the easiest way to fill an evening without extra planning.
