Birmingham is the second-largest city in the United Kingdom, famously known for its extensive network of canals, which actually stretch for more miles than those in Venice.

The most picturesque spots are the canal embankments, particularly around Gas Street Basin, where old warehouses have been converted into trendy bars and cafes.

Despite its industrial past, it is a very green city today, with parks covering about 25% of its area.

Its economy has successfully shifted from traditional manufacturing to modern industries such as finance and retail, and it is famous for its Jewelry Quarter, which produces 40% of the jewelry made in the UK.

The Birmingham Library is a stunning piece of modern architecture and the largest public library in Europe, while art lovers should visit the Museum and Art Gallery, home to the world's largest collection of Pre-Raphaelite art.
