It is cosmopolitan, surprising, and its dynamism is the pride of its people, known as the Brummies. Less beautiful than its rivals across the island, it was largely bombed during the Second World War. But Birmingham has an Exceptional Destiny. As a small merchant town in the Middle Ages, it became one of the most important poles of the industrial revolution. Now full of projects, it keeps renovating and staging ultra-modern with the old, in sometimes crazy urban chaos. If tourists don't rush there, it's wrong to avoid it if you have some time. It has a considerable amount of restaurants, bars, pubs, nightclubs, and offers several first-class tourist attractions. It is certainly not an open-air museum, but its heritage is rich on the side of the Jewel Quarter and the historic centre. Its canals and pleasant pleasant stroll even deserve the nickname of "English Venice".
